In the first part, a group of travelers gathers at a castle, but they‘ve lost the ability to speak. So, they take turns telling their stories through tarot cards. These felt a bit like The Canterbury Tales, and I enjoyed them. The second part had a similar setup, but the stories included more literary references and weren‘t quite as enjoyable to me.

I was really interested in this book, the magic system is unique and it's urban fantasy, but I struggled with the writing. It was hard to follow and juvenile.
Aside from two characters, the others were assholes with no personality that communicated via banter. I legit couldn't figure out who was talking sometimes, they were all the same.
There were also some things that rubbed me the wrong way including some mean jabs about weight.
📚bedside book!
It isn‘t too information heavy because Alison Davies, a practitioner for 16 years(as of 2023), crafts each of the cards into a cohesive storytelling experience.
With beautiful artwork, and #shortstories to lull yourself to sleep💤

Book 2 of 2025. This is the sequel to All Our Hidden Gifts and was just as good as the first one! If you like witchy books, this trilogy may be for you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweet sweet urban fantasy with a big old dash of found family - inject it into my veins!

The only downside to this is that it‘s a series that‘s still being written 😭
For other #tarot lovers/hoarders like me: how cool is this deck with story types? Isn't it gorgeous? They're sold on #etsy by Dizzy Hazel and you can buy individual cards or the full deck. Wouldn't this be a fun way to choose a next read? The universe might not give you the book you want but can now lead you to the book you need 😂
Anyway, here's the Etsy link if anyone else wants to check these out: https://shorturl.at/8M983
