An essential member of the Tarot reader's bookshelf! This is a particularly useful book for those new to Tarot reading, making each card easier to understand and, perhaps more importantly, making Tarot less intimidating in general. I particularly appreciate how every card is framed in a growth mindset, so that even the "scary" cards are valid and the reader more receptive to these messages. I am always appreciative of an author who includes context for reversals instead of just suggesting they mean the opposite of what cards are right side up, or leaving them off entirely. My one critique is that the cards are occasionally read too simply, and that a lot of nuance is lost than if they had been discussed a little more thoroughly. It does, however, encourage the reader to consider card imagery and rely on one's intuition rather than memorizing cold hard facts of traditional interpretation of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. I bought this book after reviewing it to add to my own collection.
Quick impression: Overall, I'd say this is one of the best Tarot books I've read this year. I am glad to have read it, and it is one I'll gladly recommend if anyone asks for a Tarot book.
