I liked this. This was my first Melissa Cynova book or encounter at all since to my knowledge I've never come across her online anywhere. I like her style. Down to earth and modern. It makes me more interested in picking up Kitchen Table Tarot than before.

The readings are simple and good for the average Joe to do at home for themselves. Backed up by examples, homework and exercises, they form a good foundation for self care and figuring out where you need to focus it. I love all the anecdotes and how she is showing and suggesting rather than telling you what do to.

I do disagree with some of the associations for the elements and therefore the focus of each reading but that's on me. Its more like a shirt off the rack that just doesn't fit quite right, than anything bad or wrong. The only confusing part is how there's a different amount of cards for each question. How decided that is not clear to me in her explanation. Overall, a good, enjoyable and useful book.

This was a pleasant read. Definitely for book lovers. Its got a little mystery but there's no darkness or tension to it as there's no bad guy really. I think this could count as a cozy mystery but I could be wrong. Overall I just enjoyed this. Nothing to write home about but still a pleasant read. Glad I finally got around to it.
