5/5 Stars for this second entry in the Tea Dragon series. 
This book takes all of the best components of the first book in the series and adds in more components of the Tea Dragon lore, extends the universe, and shows us more of Hesekiel and Erik's backstory without taking away from the story of childhood friendship that is at the heart of the stories in the series. 

Despite following some similar plot and theme beats from the previous book (young person entering the age for apprenticeship, someone who is missing memories after failing a task of great importance, the restoration of memory, etc.) the story still feels fresh, exciting, and different while maintaining the cozy feel the books excel at providing. 

The illustrations are gorgeous, the characters are lovable, and the stakes are low which makes for a comforting and relaxed read. 

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cozy read, to children who love dragons and to those like me who wish that the world was just a little bit more magical.
