Have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Fantasy (epic and urban) and sci-fi books are my true loves. Actively working to decolonize my bookshelf.

I... did not enjoy this one as much as the first. Plotwise it was great. That part of the book was AWESOME. Really loved it.

But the romance between Bri and a 350yr old was... ick. I didn't find it written particularly well, just one of those meet-instantly-in-love with zero chemistry. But also... what does a 350 year old person see in a TEENAGER? Nope. The book would have been 1000000000000% better without this.

A cute and fun read.

Two things I wish were different, and why I wish I could do half stars.

A) More of the tea content! More details about the brewing, the magic, just... more.
B) Cliffhangers suck. Trust that you've crafted a good story and don't resort to an unfinished tale to sell a second book.
