The Tea Princess Chronicles were lovely, slow, thoughtful cozy fantasy and this culmination of the series brings everything together delightfully.
This isn't a perfect book - like the others in the series, the sheer level of introspection is sometimes a drag - but for the way the entire series made me *feel* it deserves five stars.
If you enjoyed Legends and Lattes and want something completely different, but with the same feeling of the main character finding their place in the world, found family, and small shifts bringing about big societal change, the Tea Princess Chronicles are definitely worth your time.

This cozy fantasy trilogy is a true comfort world for me. Aside from the tea, mystery magical realm, and dragons, these books shine in allowing readers to watch Miyara process events and emotionally grow in real time. The political backdrop and double entendre dialogue make reading Miyara’s internal monologue interesting, though sometimes I found myself wishing for more world building and fewer reflections. This book felt like the slowest of the three despite having the highest stakes. Nevertheless, Blair does an excellent job of bringing all the pieces of this story together for a satisfying close, and everyone in Miyara’s family and community shows character development that makes you hopeful for their futures.

I wish I stopped at the first book in this series.
Go go go all the time, all three books. Not well paced. The main character is always assuming what everyone else is thinking/doing, and assumes she is right. So many pages of this. Also, if there are two people that could possibly be a couple (close in age), they will be after meeting once or twice. Descriptions of characters were very lacking, and if you forgot who one was between the books there were zero reminders. Made it hard to imagine things All of these annoyed me a lot, and I almost dnf.

Recommended for fans of cozy fantasy, even though the stakes are the end of the world.

This is the final book in the Tea Princess trilogy, and it has the hardest for me to get started on. I don’t know what it was about the first few chapters, but it was a slog getting started. However, once I did get a little further, I was completely drawn into the story. We get to meet the rest of Mireya’s sisters who are a fascinating collection, though this books really focuses on her oldest sister (Iryasa) and her youngest (Karisa). Saiyana is still around but mostly in the background though she does play an important role and the second oldest sister (Reyata) is present but not very active in the story which is too bad. Once again, the relationships are the real focus of the story which was quite enjoyable.
This book was really heavy on the political intrigue, and I can see why that might not work for everyone. I really enjoyed the book once I got into it though. All in all it was a pretty satisfying conclusion to the series. While I wouldn’t mind more stories set in this world, I’m pretty content with how it left things. Four out of five stars.
