Thank you to #Netgalley and #OniPress for allowing me to read an ARC of this beautiful book.

The wonderful Katie O'Neill has once again provided a beautiful graphic novel that feels like a warm, soft embrace.

I don't think I can ever truly explain how much I love this series, it's so feel-good, the colours are just beautiful and it really does make you think about the magic around us!

The third instalment in the Tea Dragons deals with a sensitive topic; grief. But it does it in such a way that it feels healing and not at all patronising!

The found families storyline is dear to my heart, and its so wonderful to see a diverse and intersectional cast of characters portrayed in a wholesome light.

Katie's style is so impressive; the soft colours, the landscape drawings, I just wish I could display each page in my room! Futhermore, the thoought she puts into the tea-dragon world and folklore around the tea dragons makes my heart ache for more.

5/5 Stars as I really can't fault this short, feel-good graphic novel about Tea Dragons and their families 3
