Mini Review: The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

Title: The Teller of Small Fortunes

Author: Julie Leong


BLURB

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells “small” fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a knead for adventure, and—of course—a slightly magical cat.

Tao sets down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past are closing in—and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.

This was such a cute read, I loved it!

Tao travels to villages and tells small fortunes. It’s on her travels that she meets Silt and Mash….who are looking for Mash’s daughter who’s been taken. Then they add a baker, Kina, to their travelling band and off they go!
