So, this falls somewhere between 'Wicked' and 'The Golden Compass' ?
Okay, I have mine!
The deck is very nice. I like the black borders and small titling. It's got a great steampunky feel and the cards are all evocative scenes that should be good for readings or contemplation. I have only glanced at the companion book. I'm sure there is interesting stuff in it, but given that this deck seems to be a faithful RWS creation, I'm not sure a 300 page companion book was needed, especially since she doesn't spend much time talking about steampunk in it. However, I'm sure if people buy this early in their tarot career, they will be very grateful for it! so, ymmv there!
The only thing that really stuck out to me--and I suppose it does reflect a steampunk culture ideal--is the lack of diversity in the female characters on the cards. They're all young (a few seem to be drawn with the idea that they look more mature, but their faces are still young), attractive, thin women, while the men vary in age and attraction. This won't matter to most people, I suspect, but it bothers me. Not a dealbreaker, but something that will probably keep it from making my top lists.
All in all, however, I am very pleased!
