This book was heartbreaking. I enjoyed the writing style. I liked the mystery in the story. I liked the main character. I love books that have a strong sister bond. Ning sets off to the palace to enter a magical tea competition to save her sister's life. When Nina gets to the imperial city she quickly realizes that the stakes are higher than she expected.
Graphic: Death and Death of parent
Minor: Torture
