This cosy and delightful fantasy tells of a group of incidental friends who come together through their travels. We have a fortune teller, ex-mercenary, former thief, baker in training, donkey and a Cat.
The group go on an adventure which takes them all over the Kingdom, which is not always kind to those who look different. I really enjoyed the dialogue between the characters, the almost slice of life in their days and how they all developed feelings of protectiveness, care and respect for one and other. This was a story about gentle growth, found family and always having an adventure spirit. I also adored the details Julie Leong placed at the start of each chapter.
There were some slight peril elements during aspects of the groups adventure and there are scenes of discrimination, but it mostly light touch on these topics. Overall, it's not my usual story or pace, but i really enjoyed this and would recommend this as a YA.
