RATING: B
With a dry start, this book became increasingly interesting as it progressed. There is a lot of information about dakinis contained within the book, covering every aspect thinkable from the 'what' to 'who' to 'how' to 'when' and 'where'. If you have never heard of a dakini, or are not exactly sure what they are/might be, this book covers everything you need to know to fix your knowledge gap. Specifically of interest to me were the latter chapters, dealing with human dakinis and encounters with dakinis.
Thorough research is evident from the multiple references, making it a trustable source of information. Now, why don't they have a book like this for EVERY Buddhist oddity, from devas and deities to hungry ghosts, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas....
