I'm not always 100% on the same page but really enjoy Melissa's perspective. Perfect name for this warm and inviting book.

In a practice that can be so gatekeepy, this book is incredibly validating. Excellent mnemonics and little stories make learning the cards really accessible. I found myself listening to entire chapters over and over to help memorize the little clues and tricks and they've already helped so much in my readings. And one simple thing — it's okay to use a book for reference in a reading — is so unbelievably powerful. Just knowing that an "expert" (which Cynova clearly is) used her book even when she started reading professionally, is so meaningful. I loved it so much that after borrowing the audiobook from the library I bought my own paperback copy and am using it in my daily tarot practice. I can't recommend this book enough.

I loved how down to earth and funny she is. It added a different perspective of the typical tarot interpretations.

This was a fun book to listen to. Light and informative, I'd say it's a good book for beginners and for those who don't feel ready yet to read for other people (other than themselves, friends or family).

For those new to tarot this would be better as a physical book than audio as you could refer back to it. For more experienced readers the audio book was an enjoyable refresher (although I wish they'd got Melissa herself to read it).
This book has an informal, chatty style. She interprets the Rider Waite Smith images in a fresh, accessible way using modern scenarios to exemplify the meanings. She also includes discussion of what's happening when she reads, being a professional reader and ethics. As a beginner, I wouldn't make this your only tarot book and i didn't agree with all her card interpretations, but for anyone with an interest in tarot this is a worthwhile read.
