Susan Wands, the author of “High Priestess and Empress” has written a captivating, magical, and intriguing novel. After reading this well-written novel, I became interested in tarot cards and the meaning, and started to look up more information.The genres for this book are Magical Realism, Occult Fiction Historical Fantasy, and Historical Fiction. The themes surrounding this book are good and evil, and magic vs. science. This is the second book in The Arcana Oracle Series, but can be read alone. The author vividly describes the plot, scenery and dramatic, dark and colorful characters.
Pamela Coleman Smith, an Artist and Seer, with a “second sight” is developing a set of tarot cards for The Golden Dawn Society. Pamela has visions of her cards from certain characters that become her muses. Her Arch enemy Aleister Crowley is determined to destroy her by killing and hurting her muses. Aleister has sinister intentions to assassinate all Queen rulers, and uses magic for evil.
Pamela will have to learn what her second sights, her friends, her tarot cards, and her powers can do to keep everyone alive and safe, including herself. This is an intense, and suspenseful novel with high adventure and danger. I appreciate the amount of research that has gone into this book. I highly recommend this novel, and can’t wait for the next book in this series.
