A Coup of Tea

Tea Princess Chronicles, Book 1

De: Casey Blair

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

When the fourth princess of Istalam is due to dedicate herself to a path serving the crown, she makes a choice that shocks everyone, herself most of all: She leaves.

In hiding and exiled from power, Miyara finds her place running a tea shop in a struggling community that sits on the edge of a magical disaster zone. But there's more brewing under the surface of this city—hidden magic and hidden machinations—that threaten all the people who've helped her make her own way.

Miyara may not be a princess anymore, but with a teapot in hand, she'll risk her newfound freedom to discover a more meaningful kind of power.

A Coup of Tea is the first book of the Tea Princess Chronicles, a cozy fantasy series full of magic tea, friendship, and lifting people up even when the odds seem impossible.

Amazing!

I cried at lest 3 times within the first few chapters & I knew this book was worth everything!

Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed how easy it was to fall into this book. It was over before I even realized what happened :) . It felt good to read and I am looking forward to the second book.

Love!

Such a great, feel good book! I finished it in 2 days! Can’t wait to start the second :)

Better than I thought

I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this book it had a slow start at first but it was worth waiting because it just kept getting better and better now I’m hooked and can’t wait to listen and read the rest !!

Amazing book, wonderful performance

This book is a cozy, emotional, and socially conscious adventure fantasy. The characters are unique and delightful, the world is refreshingly not built on Western Europe, and the story is deep, spiritual, and meaningful without being heavy handed. The ending was incredibly satisfying. One of my favorite books of all time and I look forward to the next one in the series.

cozy fantasy tea shop with strong justice analysis

I love cozy fantasy and this is a great entry, running a magical tea shop is just my cup of tea. Natalie is one of my favorite narrators making for a very easy and comforting listen. check out if you enjoy weaponized manners, social justice in city politics, and dragons!

Cozy and comforting wither personal stakes that feel like they matter

A great cozy fantasy read. The protagonist is endearing my incompetent and equally driven to overcome her lack of real-world understanding. She is the sort of friend you want to keep forever: trustworthy and supportive with just the right amount of calling you out on your bullshit.

I love all the diverse characters!

This book was heartwarmin, funny, and clever. I quite literally cheered out loud during the final chapters. The narrator did a great job bringing the warmth of the story into her voice and characters. In the end, I wish I could witness a tea ceremony.

cute and cozy

cute and cozy story with great pacing that keeps you engaged and wanting more. Will definitely be continuing with the series

Lots of social justice, deeper than it sounds

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book! Strong female characters, with magic central to the plot, but the story is really about social justice and advocacy for self and others. It's great watching this woman find her way in the world, and figure out how to best serve others. I bought the second book in the series before finishing the first, and I am finding excuses to block out the world to follow the pathway of Miyara. I'm sure my time with Miyara is part of what caused me to be called a "badass" at work by one of my friends, which was such a pleasant surprise for this 50-something usually meek reader.
