A Tempest of Tea: Ein Hauch von Tee und Blut by Hafsah Faizal

3.25

adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really loved the setting (tea house that serves blood to vampires at night in a city that seemed inspired by London during the 18th/19th century) but the plot couldn’t hold up to my expectations. It reminded me a lot of Six of Crows, just… not as good. Still worth a read!

I liked how the story dived into topics like colonialism and racism and tied it to the plot very well.

(Also turns out I find Romantasy elements super boring when everyone‘s straight lol - a queer character really wouldn’t have hurt the story…)
