Can't Spell Treason Without Tea (Tomes & Tea, #1) by Rebecca Thorne

June 21, 2024 by narfna Leave a Comment

I’m so sad rn, but this was so dull. Cozy fantasy should still have emotional stakes. I’m actually writing this review straightly upon finishing because I just want to be done with it (barring my May YouTube wrap-up, but talking is easier than writing). Like many, I have been really, really into this cozy fantasy thing since Legends and Lattes first did its thing, and unfortunately, I think this author learned the wrong lessons from that book, which she tells us in the afterword was a huge […]

Tea and Books with some magic and dragons and soldiers

Can't Spell treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne

May 26, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea very much matches the label on the front cover “cozy fantasy steeped in love”. It’s not exactly a romance though, since the main couple is already established at the start, and they actually seem to have a healthy communication dynamic (which it feels like most standard romances must avoid). Unless the love is actually the couple everyone knows are into each other but they refuse to admit it themselves, or maybe it’s the young teenage first love thing that gets […]

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne

One’s the most powerful mage in the world.  The other is personal bodyguard to the queen.  And really all the two of them want to is run off and open a store that sells books and serves tea.  That’s easier said than done though. The characters are fantastic, all of them.  Reyna and Kianthe the main leads were a fantastic pair, and the supporting cast is just as good.  There are a lot of found family vibes that I really enjoy, and the way that […]
