This was a very cozy, low stakes read!

The positive:  The world was fun and filled with a diverse cast of wonderful characters.  I love that Doli had a tea based magic system.  I loved the intro of Evvy and all the hijinks that followed. Doli is a very sunshine-y character, and it was good to see her realizing she can't please everyone. This is my first cozy fantasy read, and I love it!  I didn't feel lost with not reading the first book.

The cons: The love did feel a little instant love-y, but that's not worst thing in my book!  I also wish the ending was a bit more fleshed out - a lot happened in the final chapter or two that I wish was explored more. 

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book and would love to revisit this world again someday!
