Unboxing Experience: This is one of the nicest presentations I've seen for a tarot deck, with the box held closed by a magnet on the right hand side. Tip - mind where your other hand is as you might be holding it closed by accident! The LWB is sturdy and handles well, and the cards are in a well underneath it.
Artwork Style: This is a black and white pip deck, with detailed images on the Majors. It's RWS based but updated with a slightly medieval, mystical feel.
II. The Cards
The cards feature this, non reversible back:
Major Arcana: The Major Arcana is RWS based, with Strength at 11. Illustrations are contained within a frame of vines, with some of the illustrations extending into the frame - for instance, Justice has columns up the side, the Empress has wheat and so on. The Majors have their numbers, in Roman, across the top and their titles across the bottom.
Minor Arcana: The Minor Arcana are pip cards, but what sets them apart are the mantras printed across the top. Each is just a few words long, capturing the essence of the card to help with readings.
Card Stock and Size: The cards are a little larger than standard tarot, but still manageable. They're matt and easy to shuffle, with no chipping or bending.
III. The Guidebook
Writing Style and Readability: The book is chunky and can look intimidating at first! However, once you start reading it's very approachable, not as chatty as some decks but nice and simple to follow.
Card Meanings: Each card gets a few pages of discussion, with an explanation of the images, description of the meanings and how they apply in different circumstances, and short reversed meanings.
Spreads and Techniques: The book includes three spreads, listed above, and some information on numerology and suits in tarot, but no general reading advice.

IV. In Use
Intuition and Connection: I wasn't sure when I started using this, as pip decks can be tricky to read. However, this is clear and simple, and the addition of the mantras makes a huge difference. I found that readings with this worked really easily.
Clarity of Readings: The cards flowed beautifully. Even when I tracked them across different days, they were creating a very coherent read, which isn't usually the case! The spreads I did read very well. My usual Querant liked the artwork and thought the readings were largely positive, and a few really hit on different issues.
Suitability for Different Skill Levels: I don't usually recommend pip decks for beginners, as they're harder to grasp. However, the lovely Major art and the mantras on the Minors make this the exception to my rule. I think this could be a good deck for all levels of reader.

Final Thoughts
I've enjoyed reading with this. It's interesting, the Majors are detailed and fun, the Minors are unusually nice for pips. I especially liked the old fashioned Pentacles and the headwear on the Courts, but they're all lovely. This would be a fantastic gift for any reader.
