Tea by Alan Scott

5.0

This is a semi-cozy story about an old tailor, Samuel, and an even older soldier, William (aka Shadow Killer), who get together once a year for tea. (I say semi-cozy because, while there's not violence in the story itself, both the men have seen horrors, so not all of their memories are happy.) Scott does an excellent job setting the scene between the two men as they look backward and discuss their pasts -- both triumphs and regrets. I haven't read the entire series yet, so there were a few characters mentioned with whom I wasn't familiar, but this was a lovely read during a cold afternoon. (The last line, especially, is very impactful.)
