The Altar Within: A Radical Devotional Guide to Liberate the Divine Self by Juliet Diaz
3.75
Good points in this book! I appreciate it a lot! What I could’ve really done without and was greatly disappointing to me was the overuse of she/her pronouns. Even while said in the beginning that it is supposed to be a book for everyone, the use of gendered terms (and especially with exorcises that were clearly meant for a cisgender women audience) didn’t make me feel it was true.
And it was written 2 years ago and having followed Juliet Diaz for a long time I think that if the book was written now it would be more inclusive. At least I would hope so.

Main story is cute! The way that this volume is formatted made it slightly disjointed. There was many cute little stories between the ending of the main story which I wish wasn’t at the end. Definitely wish it had been with the rest of the main storyline rather than far between. I wish we had more of Entangled With You it did feel like a huge unfinished tale.
