3.0
I really liked the magic system of the world and the descriptions of the tea but otherwise, it had a very basic fantasy/empire plot and I ended up skimming a lot of the text because nothing was happening. I also felt that at times the MC was acting in an out of character manner? She wasn't fleshed out enough for us to believe she would act/say something so rebellious
Moderate: Bullying, Death, Classism, and Death of parent
Minor: Sexual harassment
