The Teller of Small Fortunes is a cozy, lighthearted fantasy novel that helped carry me through this past week. The story follows Tao, a traveling fortune teller who sets out on a quest of self-discovery and finds family and adventure where she least expects it. I loved the variety of characters in the story, especially those in Tao’s immediate circle. We have Mash, the cinnamon roll warrior searching for his missing daughter, Silt, the comical ex-thief trying to stay on the right path, and Kina, the amateur baker with a heart of gold. All together, these unforgettable characters make up the heart and soul of the story. There are epic caravan adventures, delicious baked goods, adorable animal companions, and plenty of heartwarming moments. If you’re in need of some comfort, I highly recommend you pick this one up!
