This book is a STUNNER, y’all! And what’s even better is that we’re getting book 2 THIS AUGUST 🥳 This Chinese-folklore inspired YA fantasy novel features phenomenal, flowery writing and descriptive, mesmerizing prose. With steady pacing and a clear-cut magic system (I’ve never read about tea magic before!), A MAGIC STEEPED IN POISON has the perfect blend of magic, a competition-centered storyline, and court intrigue. There is an itty bitty romance, but it doesn’t overshadow anything. I’m excited for the journey to continue in A Venom Dark and Sweet (already pre-ordered it, so you know it’s serious 🤪) and to see a deeper exploration the relationships and plot lines introduced in this book.
