Can't Spell Treason Without Tea: A heart-warming cosy fantasy - Legends & Lattes but with tea! (Tomes & Tea)

Product Information

It also centers two women so deeply committed to each other and to their dream in a way that just made my heart feel full.

It was hilarious seeing Wylan and Feo bicker and our main couple envision a rivals to lovers relationship for them. part of the reason why i also think this fails as a cozy fantasy is that it was very hard to care about any of the characters. The lands in general and the specific town of Tawney made for an interesting setting with good world building.Aside from the decision Reyna makes at the beginning to leave the queen, this is a story where the plot happens to the characters. speaking of relationships, i was also disappointed in the fact that kianthe and reyna had a preexisting relationship.

Interactions between characters are really repetitive, which makes them get a bit stale as the book progresses. But Reyna is an elite bodyguard to a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. A tiny bit of a mystery with some dragons and their eggs, and just a lot of fun banter and antics from Kianthe most of all, who loves puns and is sassy and vibrant. totally googly eyed for each other, which is fine, but also feels a little like the early-relationship stage despite having been together for quite some time?There's also a lack of solid worldbuilding, and as other reviews have pointed out the book isn't really a "cosy fantasy". What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. I didn’t know going into it that it was going to be a series but I’m definitely excited to continue. The politics, court intrigue, dragons, magic -- it was definitely an adventure fantasy served with a side of cozy.
