Quick impressions: This is one to skip pretty much. Helps a little if you read 'A Thousand Sons' (though that one is not that much better).

A. Rivera reviewed Bad Law by Elie Mystal
Review of 'Bad Law'
Quick impressions: Overall I really like the book, and I think it is a necessary book. I did order a copy for our library, and I strongly recommend other libraries, public and academic, order it for their collections.

Review of the Enchanted Map Oracle cards (light blue edition)
4 stars
This is the newer edition. I reviewed the first edition previously. (Because it seems Bookwyrm can't distinguish between editions.)
Initial impressions: Bottom line. Do you need the new deck if you have the old one? Not really. If you prefer borderless art, and you like the lighter blue tones of the kit, go for it.

A. Rivera reviewed Easy Lenormand by Marcus Katz
Review of the Easy Lenormand deck kit
4 stars
Quick impressions: In the end, if you are looking to start learning and studying Lenormand, as I am now, this kit is a good option. A topic here or there could use more depth, but overall the kit works to get you started in an easy way.
