Absolutely adorable a great listen will definitely listen again!! Love the characters! Such a cute little adventure can't wait for the next book!

I loved this! It was a sassy, cozy fantasy that had cute puns and dad jokes. There was a splash of dragons, a cute romance and a crazy alchemist. The narrator for this audiobook did an amazing job.

I'm so sad to see this series come to an end but "Alchemy and a Cup of Tea" by Rebecca Thorne was a great end to the story .

Cozy Fantasies aren’t quite my cup of tea, but this was a beautiful series. This was my first audiobook of the series that I was able to enjoy and the narration was done beautifully.

Reyna and Kianthe are the perfect forever couple and their adventure taking on the rogue alchemist was exciting every step of the way.

For those who enjoy a cozy series, I’d definitely recommend this.

I am so sad that this series is over. Every single Times & Tea book has been a 5⭐️ read for me. This is the first one I listened to and I’m so glad I did. Jessica Threet did a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life. Reyna and Kianthe are my forever favorite book couple. I love all the people of Tawney. The side characters make this series so special. I liked that we finally got a glimpse of The Magicary where Kianthe is from.

Favorite series ever and I’m so sad it’s over. I will reread these managed many times.

"Alchemy and a Cup of Tea" is the 4th book in the Tomes and Tea series, and it is just as much of a cozy fantasy as the rest of the series! In this installment, our 2 heroes are up against a rogue alchemist who is attempting some sort of magic drain for nefarious reasons.

I loved the audiobook narrator. She does a great job with both Kianthe and Reigna's voices and after listening to 4 books I feel like the narrator really brought them to life.

I enjoyed the plot of this 4th installment - while these books are cozy, there is also just the right amount of drama and action to keep it interesting and keep the reader engaged. While it could definitely be the end of the series (I thought it was until I got to the end), it was left open ended for more adventures with with our 2 leading females, Reigna and Kianthe. Does this need another installment? No, the conclusion was super satisfying. Would I read another installment? Absolutely!!! Now I just have to wait and pray that a specialty bookbox like fairyloot or illumicrate does some ballin' editions because I will definitely buy if so!

This series is perfect for cozy fantasy lovers who want a bit higher stakes, romance, action, and adventure, but still cozy vibes.

5/5 stars

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing an advanced listeners copy in exchange for an honest review!

I love this series so much, and it has only gotten better. This series is little bloodier than most "fantasy cozy" series, but I that just works towards ensuring it has it's own flavor to separate it from the other books in this genre (many of which I love). If you haven't read the other three books in this series, which you should do, but if somehow you can't get books 1-3 before this one, the author does do an excellent job of naturally bringing up relevant previous events. As a result, a reader new to the series will not be left wondering who someone is, or what something is, and why they should care. I will continue to look forward to more work from this author!

I am so sad to say goodbye to these characters and this world but what a wonderful way to wrap up the Tomes and Tea series! Alchemy and a Cup of Tea by Rebecca Thorne is the fourth and final book in the Tomes and Tea series. It was so easy to jump back into this world and continue the story with the characters I've grown to love. The plot is pretty fast paced for a cozy fantasy and is full of danger, drama, dragons, and of course, tea. The romance between Reyna and Kianthe still warms my heart. I love their deep love and trust no matter what happens. Such a beautiful sapphic romance. I really love the complex magic system and how in depth this book goes into the alchemy mechanics. It was really interesting. The audiobook was fantastic and really brought a lot of emotion to the story.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a beautiful, heartwarming finale to a series that has completely charmed me. It strikes the perfect balance, delivering just enough conflict to keep the story engaging without losing the cozy, comforting tone that makes it so special. Thorne wraps up this world with tenderness and intention, staying true to the series’ emotional depth while giving readers a satisfying, feel-good resolution.

The relationship between Kianthe and Reyna shines as the emotional core of the book. It’s refreshingly real, full of warmth, gentle tension, and the kind of mature communication that feels both rare and aspirational in romantasies. Their love isn’t perfect, but it’s honest and intentional, and watching them navigate challenges together with vulnerability and trust made their bond feel all the more meaningful. This was the ending they deserved, and honestly, the one I needed.

This book just wasn't for me. I do like some cozy fantasy, but this leaned into too silly for my tastes. Everything was treated as a joke, so there were no stakes and therefore no rooting value. A book the begins with the kidnapping of a queen should be very engaging from the start. Sadly, this one fell short for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t believe this is the last book in the series!! I loved this series so much.

This book was so cute and cozy! I loved all the characters. Nothing can ever be simple for Reyna and Kianthe but they always come out on top. You can truly feel how much they love each other. I was laughing and smiling while listening to the audiobook. I didn’t want it end. What a fun adventure!!

I think the narrator did a wonderful job! I really enjoyed her voice. I love Rebecca’s writing! I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. I know this is a series I will reread!

Thank you so much NetGalley, Rebecca and Macmillan Audio for the ALC!! I truly loved this series so much!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Alchemy and a Cup of Tea is the entertaining, sweet finale of the Tomes & Tea series with romance, action, and emotion.

This one was fun. Reyna and Kianthe were strong, well-developed, and compelling main characters, and I loved their continued development and the satisfying conclusion to their characters’ stories. Their romance was lovely, and I appreciated the emphasis on a healthy relationship. All of the characters were intriguing, vivid, and wonderfully quirky. Although I enjoyed the immersive world and development, there were moments in the beginning where it felt like a lot of information was presented at once, which took me out of the story. Rebecca’s prose fit the story and characters well, delivering a fast-paced and witty tale. Overall, this story did not grip me as much as the others in the series, but I still enjoyed it and look forward to reading Rebecca’s next book!

Jessica Threet narrated this audiobook beautifully. Her accents fit the characters perfectly, and her enthusiasm and emotion created a brilliant and exciting listening experience. I highly recommend the audiobook!

Thank you to the publisher for the free ALC!

This delightfully quirky and laugh out loud story will grip readers from the moment they enter its world. With the success of Reyna and Kianthe's store, their town is over run by tourists and not everyone is happy about it. Reyna is kidnapped and Kianthe rescues her-eventually. As word spreads, their celebrity status makes them a hit tourist attraction. Find out how they deal with the new found fame and crowds while maintaining their store and relationship.

This was such a cozy read w/ semi-high stakes 🤍 To be fair, I haven’t read the first 3 books, but I have to say you don’t need them to be able to enjoy this story!! Will they heighten your experience? Of course, but this was so easy to follow!! - Until you get down to the epilogue of course lol, but I have to say that part did leave me intrigued.
Overall, this story was wonderful w/ amazing representation. The MCs are literally the sweetest things ever, displaying such a positive relationship & their griffin really reflects that as well lol!!
I love a good mystery w/ a HEA 🤍
Love the way the narrator characterized the voices, they really captivated me w/ this. *I definitely needed a nice mug of tea afterwards!!

This is such a cute, cozy sapphic romantasy series, and this book was the perfect ending. Honestly, it’s one of the best in the series, right up there with book one for me.

We get to explore more of the magic system in this one, plus there’s satisfying closure on the final lost baby dragon plotline. And the epilogue? Amazing! The glimpse into the future was everything I wanted. This book made me just as excited about the series as the first one did, even though it’s the last. It’s been such a great ride for anyone who loves cozy sapphic stories.

Jessica Threet narrated all four audiobooks and did an amazing job across the board. She kept the character voices consistent throughout the entire series and really brought each book to life. Her performance made the whole experience better.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for sending this ALC for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Publication date is set for August 12, 2025.

I want to start by saying thank you for the ARC of this super cozy fantasy! I’ll admit—I’m not a big fantasy reader, so jumping into Book 4 without reading the others left me a little lost at first 😅 BUT… once I leaned into the sweet, whimsical tone of the story, I was fully wrapped up in it.

Even though I wasn’t familiar with Reyna and Kianthe’s full backstory, I could feel their love radiating off the page. Their relationship was everything!!! Romantic, supportive, and full of respect (plus a little sass).

If you're a cozy fantasy fan (especially one who’s been following this series!), I think you’ll fall right back into this world with ease. For new readers like me, I definitely recommend starting from the beginning to fully connect with the characters and their charming little town!

✨ Final Thoughts: Warm, Romantic & full of magic!—I’ll be revisiting Book 1 for sure. 💖

I already have this book preordered, but I was also gifted an audio copy for review. This was a great finale to the series. Of course, it is a cozy sapphic romance like the three before it. I love the narrator; she makes the two main characters easy to decipher, even at increased speeds. I look forward to seeing what the author's next project is!

In the final installment of the Tomes and Tea series, Kianthe and Reyna investigate an alchemical spell of unknown origin and purpose.

This book started slow but culminated in exciting and heartfelt moments in the second half. I liked the way the story expanded our understanding of the world's magic. This series has great characters, main and minor. The audiobook narration was clear and emotive. Overall, a great series.
Three and a half stars.

*Thank you to Tor, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for an ARC/ALC in exchange for my honest review*

The fact that this series is coming to a close? I'm not over it. But seeing Reyna as queen, the baby dragons gamboling about, and Tawney finally calm and serene again? That softened the blow a bit. We also finally get to delve more into alchemy, which was really exciting for me! Jessica Threet slayed the audio, Kianthe puns and all. The way that she's able to distinguish between all of the characters with just slight tonal shifts is astounding. I'm so happy that Reyna and Kianthe get their happily ever after and a cozy tea house to boot.

But is it truly over?? The ending?? WHAT??

Thank you so much to Netgalley for this ARC!

This was my favourite in the series so far! I loved listening to this story and the characters were so much fun! These novels have been so cozy and delightful, and this one did not disappoint. I highly recommend this series to fantasy lovers and anyone who enjoys cozy stories.
