Tea Set and Match

Tea Princess Chronicles, Book 2

De: Casey Blair

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

Miyara saved the city of Sayorsen and the dragons.

She was happy with the place she'd made for herself. But every action triggers consequences.

Her older sister comes to drag her back to the palace and the meaningless life she hated. The tea guild won't support her unless she succeeds on her own in their chosen challenge: a tea tournament and the international politics and unrest that come along with it. To top it all off, the border protecting the remaining world from the magical disaster zone is suddenly failing.

The path she'd thought was clear is twistier than ever, but armed with her trusty tea set, Miyara will fight to keep it.

Tea Set and Match is the second book of the Tea Princess Chronicles, a cozy fantasy series full of magic tea, baby dragons, friendship, and lifting people up even when the odds seem impossible.

Fine sequel, excellent narration

I treated "Tea Set and Match" as a mostly cozy fantasy with innumerable challenging relationships, a lightly defined magic system, and a setting that is vague enough to leave much to the imagination. And, I listened to the recording. That made it perfect for doing something mundane as I listened. Looking at other reviews, I might not have enjoyed it as much if I read a printed copy. But it served its purpose beautifully. I admit I "noticed" the trepidation of the main couple as well as the very modern commentary on issues that seemed out of place, but I chalked it up to something I wouldn't write. I enjoyed the book, and that is all I asked of it. The narrator is excellent, especially convincing when she switches to a male character.

growing characters

all the characters have grown in this part of the series, their challenges and tribulations have evolved as well and it is very welcomed. can't wait to see what happens next.

Another great one, deeper than it sounds

I bought Book 2 before I was done with Book 1 and I was not disappointed. This book has a lot of Miyara finding herself and figuring out her way in the world. There were several lines in the book that were so thought-provoking that I paused the book to ponder them. (Mostly they were about how she could serve others while not losing herself, something that many of us can learn from.) You'll definitely want to have read the first book, as I think that this would be hard to jump into as a standalone.

Family, Friends, Familars and Fantasy!

The second book of the Tea Princess Chronicles was such a fun and engaging read. It contained all of the mystery of the first book while letting you in to peel back the layers of the characters introduced before. Loved the progression and growth of the diverse characters as well as the introduction of new challenges.

Narrator is great!

I really liked the first book, it was different and interesting which kept my attention. This one I skipped over a good bit and did not even finish it. I was disappointed
