Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In an upbeat, conversational style, Cynova's debut explores the fascinating study of tarot card reading, describing the practice as a form of storytelling. The first few chapters discuss the author's background, the ethics of reading, and the most user-friendly decks for beginners. The remainder of the book, which is much more interesting, focuses on the eclectic images on the cards and what they represent. The book is aimed at beginners, but experts will also find that it deepens their understanding of the varied images. Cynova does a great job of explaining the intriguing meanings of the cards as well as their alternate interpretations. Readers will immerse themselves in the fascinating visuals as they challenge themselves to decipher the cards' difficult and somewhat confusing contexts. Those new to tarot reading may feel perplexed by the numerous and peculiar images and the slew of card decks to choose from; however, the author asserts that delving into tarot should be fun-particularly for the uninitiated. This informative and entertaining guide is sure to be popular with anyone interested in discovering tarot. (Apr.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
