When the fourth princess of Istalam is due to dedicate herself to a path serving the crown, she makes a choice that shocks everyone, herself most of all: She leaves.

In hiding and exiled from power, Miyara finds her place running a tea shop in a struggling community that sits on the edge of a magical disaster zone. But there's more brewing under the surface of this city-hidden magic, and hidden machinations-that threaten all the people who've helped her make her own way.

Miyara may not be a princess anymore, but with a teapot in hand she'll risk her newfound freedom to discover a more meaningful kind of power.

A Coup of Tea is the first book of the Tea Princess Chronicles, a cozy fantasy series full of magic tea, friendship, and lifting people up even when the odds seem impossible.

A Coup of Tea

I was really in the mood for a cozy fantasy. Since reading Legends & Latte's, I have been on the hunt for more and A Coup of Tea was perfect. 

There's lots of everything in this first book, tea, family and relationship themes, romance, adventure, some action and political intrigue. I loved the character development and focus on finding your purpose. The pacing was good and the plot interesting.

I'm definitely checking out the next books in the series. I can highly recommend this to anyone who needs a cozy fantasy fix.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an e-copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is a cozy, slice-of-life fantasy with lots and lots of tea. Perfect for curling up with a hot drink while reading. I was half way through when I realized I needed to order books 2 and 3 asap. 

Princess Miyara must decide how she will serve her kingdom as the fourth Princess of Istalam. Uncertain she can follow in her sisters' footsteps the way her family expects, she walks away from it all to forge her own path and to serve the people of her kingdom the best way she knows how- through healing power of tea. 

There is a little bit of love story, A LOT of found family, and a dash of political drama. 

CW for racism and classism- this is an important theme in the story that our heroine fights against.
