A Coup of Tea by Casey Blair
5.0
A princess that renounces her royalty and runs away out of a desire to better serve the people, makes her closest ties with the people their country most fails, and slowly learns to take up space and help her people- ALL her people.
Friendship and magic and dragons and cultures and tea and people with differences and politics and chaste, slow burn romance… and it’s a trilogy that has novellas as well, so the magic isn’t over. It also has some amazing quotes relating to accepting help/gifts when you don’t feel worthy.
The world building is rich but not overwhelming. The characters are diverse (our mc is cishet and of the majority culture besides being a princess, but I’ve read the full trilogy, and more than half the characters that have the most [positive] impact on the story are lgbt+, refugees, minorities, etc).
