Royal Tea Service by Casey Blair

4.0

This is the final book in the Tea Princess trilogy, and it has the hardest for me to get started on. I don’t know what it was about the first few chapters, but it was a slog getting started. However, once I did get a little further, I was completely drawn into the story. We get to meet the rest of Mireya’s sisters who are a fascinating collection, though this books really focuses on her oldest sister (Iryasa) and her youngest (Karisa). Saiyana is still around but mostly in the background though she does play an important role and the second oldest sister (Reyata) is present but not very active in the story which is too bad. Once again, the relationships are the real focus of the story which was quite enjoyable.

This book was really heavy on the political intrigue, and I can see why that might not work for everyone. I really enjoyed the book once I got into it though. All in all it was a pretty satisfying conclusion to the series. While I wouldn’t mind more stories set in this world, I’m pretty content with how it left things. Four out of five stars.
