A review by lyakimov
A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin

3.0

This was an enjoyable read, but it was actually so much like The Scarlet Alchemist, which I just read a couple days ago so the similarities were strong in my mind. It is a pretty similar kind of story but I think with this kind of generic storyline that there can be something unique about it. I liked the unique idea of having tea be used as a power. Maybe because I read something similar too soon and it stunted my enjoyment a little, or maybe I was not in the right headspace to read it. I might be interested enough in reading the sequel.
