The publisher describes this book as a "complete deck in book form." I can't help but wonder if making a deck and companion book would have worked better for some folks. Still, the book is nice to read and look over.

The book offers card meanings written by Jen Attman. The text for each card is mainly positive and affirming. Michelle Blade offers the art for the cards. The art style can be described as ethereal and surreal. Sometimes the art may be a bit too abstract; on some art pieces, I am not even sure how they relate to a particular card.

The book is designed to be a daily companion. Flip through the pages to find a message for the day. It makes a nice bedside book. Overall, I liked it.

3 out of 5 stars.
