The Tinker's Tale #1
The Tinker's Tale
Maximus Xanders, visionary of Atalatha and legendary Knight of Virtue, has just finished his greatest invention. Though known for his technological marvels in weaponry and strategies, his latest venture has a more personal touch. Built in secrecy, the innovation is spied by an unlikely guest. A trade is agreed upon: in exchange for silence on the matter, Maximus will tell a tale of his own meager beginnings.
Decades earlier, when Maximus was a boy just reaching manhood, he longed for a different life. Living among the countryside, his family was everything, with the exception of a passion for tinkering. When his father brought home Charcoal, a stubborn, massive horse, Maximus could never have predicted the friendship that would form, or the bond that would be a part of him for the rest of his life.

I did read this as part of The Tales Of Tellest: Volume One.
This is a wonderfully crafted tale, consisting of a story within a story; that seamlessly weaves in and out of each other.
The characters are very three-dimensional and full of life, seeming to jump right out of the page into your life.
The story flows smoothly; the writing is clear, crisp, and clean with enough descriptive language to feel you know the places being described.
It is a tale of love and loss that will tug at your heartstrings!
I will leave you with a question, is he really just a Tinker?

It's been too long since I visited Michael DeAngelo's Tellest. The book was well written, the characters well developed. The storyline evolved quickly and captivated me. If you like fantasy I would highly recommend this book. I own both the Kindle & Audible editions so I read along as the book was read to me. The narration was excellent and added to the enjoyability of the book. I look forward to the next book.
