REVIEW:
This was a reread for me, and my feelings have not changed one bit. I still think this is the cutest, cosiest and most beautifully illustrated graphic novel I’ve ever read. The story is so soothing, magical and gives you that feeling of wholeness and fuzzy warm feelings.
I loved the characters; all of them had a distinct personality and something to offer the reader. The tea dragons are simply so adorable!
The author managed to give us magic in the form of a graphic novel. I can totally see the book as my go-to for when I’m feeling down or just need a little peace of mind.
The setting of this universe is beautiful, and everything is just perfect.

REVIEW:
The sequel was full of cuteness. This time, we travel back in time to see Erik and Hesekiel and how they came to own the tea house/shop, while also following the story of Rinn and one very sleepy dragon.
I did not expect this to go back in time. Usually, with graphic novels, the sequel tends to pick up from where the first book ended, and I must say I loved this little detail here. It brought the whole story together and tied it with a gorgeous bow on top.
I loved to see more of Erik and his home village, and the whole plot with Rinn and Aedhan was so interesting.
MY RATING:

Join Greta and Minette once more for the heartwarming conclusion of the award-winning Tea Dragon series, now available in paperback!

As she struggles to create something spectacular enough to impress a master blacksmith in search of an apprentice, she questions the true meaning of crafting, and the true meaning of caring for someone in grief.

REVIEW:
The first two books were lovely, but this one takes the cake for me. It is definitely my favourite one.
The author brings us back to the present, picking up where the second book left off with Minette, Greta, and the little tea dragons. The story is incredibly touching and heartwarming, and everything comes together around a newfound family filled with love and happiness.
Overall, these are probably my favourite graphic novels to date. I would recommend them to everyone. The easiest 5 stars I’ve given to a graphic novel.
