so-so
The structural conceit (read the chapters in whatever order you deal the tarot deck) is more fascinating than illuminating, but the pace is crisp and enjoyable. The characters tend to speak in a(n appropriately Eastern European and mystical) register of parable and metaphor, but it works for the narrative and milieu. As you can tell from my sentences, I‘m not enthralled, but I liked reading it. A mediocre fortune is better than foretold doom.
