A Magic Steeped In Poison by Judy I. Lin

4.5

I really loved the writing style of this book. It's hard to pinpoint why but Ning's voice just drew me in every time I picked up the book. I also loved the world building and magic system. It's very unique but also consistent and interesting, the use of tea to form connections. 
With the book being set at seemingly the start of a revolution, it took me a while to figure out Ning's view, even with the first person perspective. She seems to go from very unaware and neutral to very passionate quite suddenly and I'm not sure if I just missed something in the first half of the book. 
Also, my favourite character was probably Lian. We love Lian.
