A Magic Steeped In Poison by Judy I. Lin
5.0
A beautifully told and thrilling story!
Ning accidentally brews a batch of tea that poisons her mother and sends her sister, Shu, knocking on deaths door. Shu's only hope is Ning masquerading as her mother's apprentice in her place and winning a competition to find the lands greatest shénnóng-shī, the masters of ancient tea making, and securing a favour from the Princess. Ning has to do it, she has no choice, she MUST save her sister's life, but is all as it seems?
I love tea and I love magic so reading A Magic Steeped In Poison was a must for me! A beautifully woven tale of Chinese Mythology, traditions, and magic. Ning is an amazing main character who you can't help rooting for from the start! This book has me wanting to learn all about teas and different ways to make it! I absolutely love loved every second, I couldn't put it down. 5*
