Bernice Summerfield: The Empire State

Another story set away from the Braxiatel Collection, while things continue to be in chaos there. A story that starts sort of in media res, and isn't entirely successful as a result. There are also arc things that are only revealed toward the end of the story, which is a common situation in this series at this point, and again doesn't work great.

On plus it's an interesting piece of scifi, with a small cast. Reminiscent in many ways of the very recent "Timeless Passages". And overall a strong first story from writer Eddie Robson in this range. Brimming with ideas.

Arguably the most interesting thing though is the final reveal of ( spoilers )

I forgot how much I'd missed hearing that character.

And looking forward to where we go next. Which I do have a pretty good idea of, but will enjoy the journey there.

Golden Venetian Lenormand cards

I recently bought artist Eugene Vinitski's Renaissance Venice inspired Tarot and Lenormand oracle card decks. Tried the first the other week - very pleased with it. Started looking at the second tonight. Gorgeous art. Nice accompanying book. Though I will need another to learn this new to me system.
