A Tempest of Tea has been my most anticipated read [period] since it was announced over two years ago. I had just read Faizal's We Hunt the Flame so was extremely excited when I heard she was writing about vampires and arthurian legends and peaky blinders????
And oh my, it did NOT disappoint.
Easiest 5 stars I have probably ever given.

A Tempest of Tea is an incredibly rich and well-written novel, full of intrigue, suspense and just good ideas. It definitely has its comparisons, but it's still so unique.
Arthie is an amazingly well-realised protagonist - everything a YA lead should be. And as for the romance, Faizal KNOWS how to write one. It was great in We Hunt the Flame and it's even greater here.

I suspect this is going to blow up on release so get ready for a wild ride :)
Bring on book 2!

I am only half way through this audio book and I have been obsessed since chapter 2 - I am thoroughly enjoying the narrator as well as the dynamic between characters.
This has the cosy yet dark atmosphere I love and I think the narrator was an excellent choice for this particular story. I can’t wait to see how the story progresses and so far I can safely say I will definitely be recommending a tempest of tea to my friends and students! I will post an updated review once I’ve finished the audiobook.
Thank you for allowing me access to the ebook!
