A review by ladyelfriede
A Coup of Tea by Casey Blair
2.5
My biggest disappointment of last month. I wanted to rate this 4 but I went into the story with 0 expectations and still was disappointed.
For a YA book, it's a solid 3. From an adult perspective, I wanted to know more about the tea making process, tea leaves, the Cataclysm. Basically, the world Blair presented was solid, but she devolved into it a usual YA plot which was eh.
Not to mention usual stereotypes of brown people was a big eh. Can no one do anything original besides have night markets and assassins for once?
Should have focused more on the tea imo.
2.5/5
