The ending was a cliffhanger but didn’t manage to give any sense of finishing to the story arc? That’s just my thoughts.
Overall I think this was pretty middle of the road. It was a fun read, enjoyable and mysterious. But there were parts I found fell short of what they could have been.

There is a heavy amount of poisoning and a conspiracy theory driving the plot.nxpe's review against another edition

I enjoyed the tea magic a lot more that I thought I would, and it was described in a very lovely way. Definitely craved tea more than I have in a hot minute.
This was also my first Asian-inspired fantasy, which was pretty interesting! I was nervous about it going into it, but I was really fun! Definitely will be picking up the sequel.

The only thing that keeps me from giving this a 5-star rating is that some descriptions were a bit repetitive for my like and I kept skimming over them.
Overall, 4.75⭐
