Review of 'Kali Oracle' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Milquetoast syncretism. Often the figure depicted as an avatar of Kali could easily be given a different color palette and done up as a fantasy warrior, especially a Nordic one. Take away the iconography and we've got generic RPG characters.
On the positive side, the first half of this experience provided a much-appreciated diversion into unfamiliar terrain, and in this day and age it's easy enough to look up more appropriate takes on each avatar, which I wish I'd thought of sooner than I did.
