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!
