Tao, the teller of small fortunes, travels the countryside in her wagon telling fortunes to those willing to hear them. In her travels she meets some unlikely companions, helping one to find his missing daughter. Along the way she discovers who she truly is and the importance of the friendships she forms along the way.
I loved so much of this! The characters were great, I love stories that involve traveling about, and I love books that involve fortune telling! I loved the friendships formed and the adventures they went on along the way.
The only thing I didn’t love about this book was the length of the chapters. As someone who can be easily distracted when reading they were waaaay too long. Most of them could have easily been 2 or 3 chapters that were 10 pages long instead of 1 chapter that was 30+ pages long. It made the book drag at times, in my opinion.
Other than that I highly recommend this one if you’re looking for a cozy fantasy with no spice and lots of friendship and traveling adventures!
