Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, the compliments: The cards are printed on a high quality card stock, in beautiful colors, and careful detailed individual designs. I'll include a picture of them laid out in good light to try to illustrate this. I have not seen a more fantastic design which makes a new user feel welcome and comfortable. This is my second deck, but if I could do it again, it would be my first. I'll include a picture of them laid out in good light to try to illustrate this. Now on to the problems: The cards are stuck together, and not just a little bit. Each card must be *carefully* pried away from it's neighbors. Doing this will flake some of the paint on the edges, and if you are too rough or hasty the cards will get bent at the corners or dented where your nails pry them apart. I'll add a short video of me doing this to show you what I mean. Recommended: Set aside time to look at and read about each card as you do this, to familiarize yourself with the cards and make your first practice readings easier. Just be careful, they will keep trying to stick together if not shuffled thoroughly. The paint chipping fresh out of the box is concerning for some but I think will make every deck unique. Each one will wear differently and with practice the user can become intimately familiar with their personal  deck. The book is cute but small and not durable enough to last long. If I used it to read a card every time I draw a card this book would fall apart fast. The upside to that is the Mystic Mondays app is super user friendly and contains all the information needed in an easily accessible catalog. I'm just gonna toss mine and use a tumbled quartz to fill the empty space in the box, and double as a purifier. Finally, the box is great and strong, and has a cute design, but it leaves the cards exposed, and so doesn't really keep them safe from stray liquids. Last Thoughts: I would get it, but you need to think about if it fits what you want. Hope this helped.
