This book was so cute! It follows Greta, a blacksmith apprentice, after finding a lost tea dragon in the marketplace. She befriends its owners Hesekiel and Erik, and their ward Minette, who teach her about the art of tea dragon care. Charming, beautiful artwork and perfect for any age.

This book is beautifully illustrated and written. I really enjoyed Princess Princess Ever After so had high hopes for this book, and I wasn't disappointed. The story is sweet and heartwarming like a good cup of tea. The dragons are adorable, as are all the other characters. I loved the story, but there was a little section at the end with information about caring for tea dragons which was super cute too.

The Tea Dragon Society is an absolutely stunning graphic novel and now I really want my own tea dragon!

The illustrations in this graphic novel are incredibly beautiful. Everything is so colorful and the artist really gave life to these characters. There are several different species in this story and all of them were absolutely stunning. The best illustrations are definitely the tea dragons, which are so adorable I was squealing in delight and raving about how much I wanted one as I read this.

The story has a very diverse cast, both in the characters' species, histories and their sexualities. Greta, a girl learning the art of blacksmithing, learns about a culture far different from her own when she stumbles upon the world of tea dragons. She's taught the importance of keeping traditions alive in the changing world. She also develops some wonderful friendships over the course of the book.

After the story ends, there is a section in the back of the book with information about tea dragons and their history as well as facts about the different types of tea dragons. I loved the section that gave facts about a specific type of tea dragon accompanied by an illustration of that species. The different types of tea dragons all had such distinct personalities and they were incredibly adorable.

Overall, The Tea Dragon Society was an absolutely adorable read with amazing artwork and I highly recommend it.

An absolutely gorgeous book that I lapped up within minutes. The Tea Dragons are not only adorable but the lives and memories of their owners are lovely. I sincerely hope there will be more adventures from the Tea Dragon Society in the future.

This adorable story follows Greta as she's learning from her mother how to be a blacksmith. One day, while in town, she finds a small tea dragon. She manages to get it to safety and her father tells her who the owner is. When she returns it, she's asked if she would like to learn how to care for tea dragons. In this adventure, she meets Hesekiel and his partner Erik, and Minette, who has trouble remember things, but who she befriends.

This is honestly such a quick, adorable read. The art is so well done and the story is short but impactful. I cried over how sweet it was. It's cast of characters are diverse from race, to disabilities, to temperaments. The plot is quick and we learn with Greta about keeping old traditions alive and making friends with everyone, that not everyone is how they seem. But if you have time for something quick that will touch your heart, read this. I can't drink tea, but man, do I want a tea dragon.
