Modifying this just a smidge to run it out a tiny fishing village along the Sword Coast. Initial read through was easy enough, it's made for 1st level characters, with the milestone level up mechanic as the adventure progresses. I'm on the fence with this method, but it does work great with this adventure. Kiddo (Mk 2, age 10) has a fear of spiders, and while I was initially concerned about her reaction, she was enjoying the opportunity to go all stabby-stabby on some 8 legged creatures. Kiddo (Mk 1) is 17 years older, and she ejoyed the role-playing content more than the combat (although she's very good at that too).
The adventure is very coherent and logical, with no negatives to speak of. As a once through adventure it is working really well, I think it'd work fine if you wanted to borrow pieces-parts for a homebrew as well as the locations are common enough (isolated fishing village, lighthouse, etc).
