This was such an interesting new fantasy! The world building in this was fantastic; I felt like I was sucked right in from the very first page. The whole magic intertwined with tea thing was really cool. And with that ending, I need the next book right now!
The characters and the plot don't suffer at the cost of the world bulding. Ning, Kang, and all the other main characters were well fleshed out. And there are some nice twists and turns in here that keep you guessing from page to page. I'd definitely recommend this to any YA fantasty fan!
