A Magic Steeped in Poison

banging pots and pans together Y'ALL NEED TO READ THIS

honestly, even if you're not a fan of YA fantasy, but are down for an amazing adventure full of a tea-based competition, incredible female friendships and political navigation, this is a book you need to pick up!!

it's certainly not perfect and while i do have my gripes, overall i had a wonderful time following ning throughout the competition. i wished there was more explanation of the magic system but i vibed with the writing and plot so it was easy to go along with the story and not bother with the details.

i CANNOT wait for the sequel, i needed it uhhhh yesterday?
