SYNOPSIS
Rinn has grown up with
the Tea Dragons that inhabit their village, but stumbling across a real
dragon turns out to be a different matter entirely! Aedhan is a young
dragon who was appointed to protect the village but fell asleep in the
forest eighty years ago. With the aid of Rinn’s adventuring uncle Erik
and his partner Hesekiel, they investigate the mystery of his enchanted
sleep, but Rinn’s real challenge is to help Aedhan come to terms with
feeling that he cannot get back the time he has lost.

MY REVIEW:
may contain spoilers
I received an ARC of The Tea Dragon Society from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you very much, as well as to the author, Katie O'Neil, and Oni Press for allowing me to read and review this.
Now before I start, I just want to say that I was getting constant kawaii pokemon vibes, and honestly, I was fangirling from a cuteness overload!
The art is really well done!
The characters are adorable!
And I want my own tea dragon!
This was a lovely quick read that is very easygoing and relaxing. Because of this, I think the story beats are less noticeable, which can be a good thing - depending on which way you look at it. It can make the read float seamlessly, far from a tedious experience; or it can make a story boring. It did the first.
It was so close to getting 5 stars, too! But it just didn't quite get there, only slightly missing the mark.

Would / Will I read the prequel to The Tea Dragon Festival, 'The Tea Dragon Society'?
YES! If it is anything like this book, I definitely will be.
