This was such a cute book. I read it in less than 30 minutes but it was so cozy and nice, and made me feel very relaxed. I highly recommend it, especially if you want a short, cozy read with an adorable concept. Can't wait to read more in the series.

This was so cute and the art is beautiful!! After reading this, you’ll likely want a tea dragon of your own or at least a nice cup of tea.
It’s a short and sweet story, set in a fantastical town with goblins, humans, and dragons living alongside each other and learning different crafts. There are some flashbacks with mild violence but ultimately it’s a very low stakes story filled with lovely characters, so something calm to sink into.
I really love the art style too. It’s so detailed and colourful and whimsical, perfect for this kind of story. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series so I can be immersed in this world again.

This was such a wonderful, adorable & heartwarming read! I adored everything about this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
This book follows Greta, an apprentice blacksmith learning the art from her mother a very skilled blacksmith. Greta is having trouble learning this skill and worries that she won't be good at it or she will let her mother down. Her mother tells her that blacksmithing might not be used so often anymore but it is a lost art and should be kept from getting forgotten. One day Greta finds a lost dragon in the city streets and returns it to its rightful owner, a man named Hesekiel. She learns that Hesekiel and his husband Erik are a part of a society that specializes in tea making. They brew tea from the leaves and flowers that grow on dragons and if brewed correctly they have wonderful magical effects when a person drinks it. Greta wants to learn the art of tea making and even meets another young girl named Minnette, a prophetess with memories she is trying to recover.
Even though this book was short it still was wonderful and charming. The illustrations were gorgeous and colorful. The story about finding your place in the world and surrounding yourself with people who love and support you is a great message to tell to young readers and all readers. The diversity was magnificent and perfectly subtle. They felt organic and natural not forced. The Tea Dragons themselves were so adorable and makes me want one of my very own to love and take care of!
Such a wonderful and beautiful story and am eagerly anticipating to read the rest of the series!
