Shepherds Crown is good, better than Raising Steam in my opinion, but suffers from the same "Cram all the characters in there so they can have a last hurrah" feeling..
I think that both Crown and Steam could have easily had a couple hundred pages added without damaging them..

indeed Mistress Aching is head and pointy hat above Harry and other YA 'chosen' ones
and likewise I stayed away from Crown for a long time for that reason, but its worth it, although one bit may well give you sweaty eyes

TSR’s Brian Blume Has Passed
Brian Blume passed away at a the age of 70 on Friday. He was a business partner of Gary Gygax back in the early days of TSR, and co-founder of the company. He played the wizard Rary, and created Vecna.
While the fallout between Gygax and the Blume family - and its effects on the company - are well documented, Blume's investment is what got D&D started with its first print run of 1,000 copies. He left the company in 1985.
He passed away on Friday March 27, 2020 at the Lakeland Nursing Home in Elkhorn WI from Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's disease.
... Thanks for doing what you did fells, changed a lot of people's lives.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
