Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The box arrived in perfect condition, the colors are vibrant, and the book is well written. I've seen some reviews where people complain about how vague the explanations are for each card (and, admittedly, they rather are and there's no reverse explanation), but that's the point. This isn't an obvious deck like some of the other more popular styles, it's called the Wild Unknown for a reason! This deck is so blunt it's like getting hit by a building. It will go straight to the heart of the matter, whether you want to hear the truth or not, and it will not shy away from telling you off for asking too many questions (usually, the 7 of Swords is what comes up when I'm being facetious like that, they're delightfully snarky). The vague descriptions in the guidebook allow you to figure out what every card means for that particular reading, instead of forcing the reading to the rather narrow implications of the cards. They're incredibly flexible in how you can interpret them, which gives them a bit of an edge in my opinion. Obviously this means they're not really meant for people who need that constant assurance that yes, they memorized the card correctly. The Wild Unknown is more for people who can think in the abstract and look at the images in different ways, using the context of the reading to pick out the minute details of each image. Back to the 7 of Swords, when upright there are 6 swords floating above a fox curled up as if sleeping, but with one eye open and rather obviously hiding the 7th sword in the image. This can mean something's hidden from you that you need to find or seek out or whatever in order to do the thing or solve your problem. OR it can mean that someone or something is an active threat against you, keeping that watchful eye open and waiting for the right moment to hurt you. OR it can mean YOU'RE the fox, concealing your intentions from others for reasons (good or bad or neutral, I don't know the context of your reading), and this may be a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know, I don't know the context of the reading. OR, if you're like me and ask far too many questions when the cards are being chatty, it simply means "You're being annoying, we're not going to give you any more answers, at least on this subject, go do something else". OR it can mean something else ENTIRELY because I do not know the context of the reading this card showed up in. And that's just a few possible UPRIGHT meanings of ONE card. The WHOLE DECK is like this. You have to be supremely careful how you read the cards to make sure you're getting it right. If they like you, they'll make the meanings more obvious. If they don't, best of luck to you, friend. On the plus side, I can honestly say I've had better conversations with this deck than with some people.
