I wasn't really sure to make of the In The Company of Fey. On the one hand it was well written, but took the fey in a bit of a different direction then I was hoping for. I will say this, Rite's Publishing vision of the fey and the rules they have crafted for them are good ones, but again they are a little different from what you might expect. These fey are a bit more like the old school mythical faeries that their more high adventure counter parts you might find in games like Magic the Gathering. Rites make some interesting design choices such as making them medium sized creatures who can turn into smaller sprites, which you'll either love or hate.
If you can get into the right mindset it seems like there is a lot of fun to be had with the fey presented here and many design choices seem well thought out to let the fey fit comfortably into almost any pathfinder game, but if you were looking for the Pathfinder equivalent of something like Hack Master's Pixie-Fairies than this product isn't for you.
