I really enjoyed this duology infused with eastern mythology and tea magic. Ning was a driven and strong heroine who also loved her family and aaa loyal to her friends. While there was a romance element, it wasn‘t central to the story. The focus was on Ning‘s journey of self discovery and empowerment.

Now this one was getting really emotional. Between Greta trying to help Ginseng get through their dragon depression, Minnet feeling like she lost herself, and even the blacksmith saying they lost the drive to do good work. There‘s a lot to unpack. Yet done beautifully for such a quiet slow vibe book.

Not kidding when said it can be read in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Tea din under 10min.
This is absolutely gorgeous graphic novel. The colors both pop and don‘t overwhelm. Extremely short, no stress, just little details towards friendship and traditions. Things just flow slowly, like a cup of tea.
Adore how the end shows care of tea dragons and then what the different types are like

Characters felt somehow a bit flat, and I couldn't feel all their emotions. They were likable, but nothing more.

This felt so much like many other fantasy YA stories, this wasn't really unique. Plot was also pretty common and predictable. The first 100 pages dragged, and it took that long before starting to be interesting.

This didn't have that special feeling that the first book had, but this was still entertaining story.

This is an important book for understanding Japanese culture and aestheticism. The writing feels dated but I really enjoyed the translator‘s foreword and afterward. 🍵 🇯🇵

Most of the time I drink hot tea (no caffeine) or black coffee (decaf) with cinnamon. But at least once a year I like hot cocoa or coffee with Baileys and whipped cream!!
