Such a fun concept - coloring pages with outlines of the Major and Minor Arcana, so you can color your own tarot deck! The drawings seemed to be variations on the ubiquitous Rider-Waite-Smith deck artwork, still full of symbolism and curiosity. My copy seemed to be missing half of the deck, but it was an early galley so likely just a file issue.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for access to this ARC! I loved the imagery on these coloring pages. Great for anyone who likes tarot, easy to understand images, easy to add and embellish designs. A very simple introduction to the cards and not overly complicated or time consuming.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is a lovely little colouring book as a way to learn about the Tarot deck while colouring. I like that there is the deck the card is in above the card and a small description below each as it allowed me to learn a little as I am still a novice to this world. I like that the pages are single sided as it means there’s no worries about colours bleeding onto the next picture although I’d still pop a piece of card behind when colouring incase my pens are prone to bleeding and ruin the next pic. Each card is not overly complex but are still beautiful in their details which is great as sometimes I like to use thicker markers not gel pens which I can’t do in overly detailed books.

What a beautifully drawn coloring book. I would LOVE to get a copy of this for sure. The lines are so crisp and the pictures are stunning. I can only hope that the pages are thick and bleed proof. Definitely a 5/5 if the pages are thick and bleed proof, but I have no way of knowing without a physical copy.

This is a simple and straightforward coloring book. The images aren't too intricate so I think it makes it good for younger kids as well. It comes with an index and covers all of the cards. It only includes the images of the cards, however, and there's no information for the cards. So this would be fitting for people who are familiar with Tarot or as an addition to other material for those learning.

This book is simply gorgeous!!!
The illustrations are perfect for those who enjoy coloring uncomplicated images, without the distracting tiny details that can often make it hard for beginners to keep going. I'm also thrilled that the pages are single-sided, so we can use any markers we choose without worrying about the results. I think any tarot lover would absolutely appreciate having this book in their collection.

Thank you for sharing a DRC!

My grandma taught me to read the Tarot cards, and my battered deck has tiny scrawled notes in the margins with the meanings.

The Tarot Colouring Book expands on this, with simplified versions of the full major and minor arcana (styled from the classic Rider-Waite Tarot deck), with a brief interpretation of each underneath.

In paper format, this will have one illustration per double-page spread, to minimise bleed (although they do recommend using pencils instead of wet markers). It would be fun to do a reading for yourself by flipping to a random page and meditating on the meanings as you colour.

A lovely colouring book for those exploring their Tarot journey.

A beautiful coloring book! Every card in the Major and Minor Arcana is included. Each one on its own page with its basic meaning. While coloring the card you can meditate on focus on learning the cards symbolism. This is a great way to learn the basics of tarot or meditate on a specific card.

These are interesting pictures that are not too detailed. I color to relax so I don’t want really intricate pictures. There is one card per page and underneath the picture it has the card name and what it means. I received an e-book copy of this so I can’t speak to the quality of the paper in the book. I found this to be an easy introduction to tarot cards and their meaning.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I received this as an advanced reader copy and it was the partial book.
From what I can see it looks like a fun book to color and the photos are nice.

This is a good coloring book for ages young kids - preteens. The designers are cute, but felt more geared to younger children. The designs honestly reminded me of the pamphlets kids would color at church during bible school. So if that’s your thing… you’ll like this! Wheel of Fortune was my fav coloring page.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 STARS!

this is so cute and so fun! a great way for beginners to study and memorize the basic meanings of tarot cards. it also leaves room for lots of creativity. you can get really creative and add some things to help you better understand the cards by using specific colors to get certain elements to stand out. don't limit yourself to coloring within the lines. i love to use alcohol markers, Ohuhu to be specific, and acrylic pens. this combo allows me to really pack a punch in grabbing attention to details. when reading tarot cards, you have to be aware of symbolisms within the cards. if you have a set of tarot cards beside you as you color, this book will allow you to bring focus to that and study it. i do wish it had the reverse meanings as well, but for beginners... i find this could be a useful and fun activity as a study guide.

thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to view an advance copy of this coloring book. i leave this review of my own volition. all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great coloring book for Tarot lovers! Not over detailed or complicated but has solid lines and fun images to color. Tarot card representations are in the traditional style.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book.

Tarot Coloring Book by Maryna Verbyk features illustrated tarot cards (78) in simple line drawings, which are expressive, feature details, and show relevant elements with the corresponding card. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging.

There is also a description provided for each card in 3-4 words. I think in print, this book will be great for gifts and personal use as well. The info says it's ideal for dry medium like markers and pencil colors. Illustrations are printed on alternate pages so as to avoid bleeding.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

For me personally, the pictures are too simple. I was underwhelmed opening this coloring book. But I can see how that might actually be a benefit for others because they can take it and create their own artwork from the simplicity. I don’t like how it’s just a basic page with the card on it. A border relating to the tarot card or more information about each card would add a lot to this coloring book. I can see both types of people buying this; some have already had experience with tarot cards and some who are just wanting to learn. I can’t comment on the quality of paper or layout of the actual coloring book because this was an eARC.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC of this book. All opinions contained in this review is entirely my own.

I love this coloring book. As someone who is just starting to get into tarot I think this is a fun way to get to know the cards. Coloring in the cards helps you to focus on the colors contained in each card and what they mean. It's also a fun way to practice your intuition by picking out the colors that feels right and then seeing what meaning is trying to come through.

If you don't want to use it for that and just want to color a few fun pictures it would be great for that too. I would definitely recommend this book.

Beautiful pages. Easy to color in. Can be use as tarot cards if you like them DIY. I had a hard time printing them as I couldn't download a pdf version but it worked out and it's a fun activity to do
