Such a heartwarming and refreshing take on the isekai genre with a protagonist who is not only realistic, but also actually invested in the wellbeing of his new people and home. I loved both the art and the worldbuilding. Quite the promising start. I can't wait to read the next.

In conclusion of the Tea Dragon series, The Tea Dragon Tapestry is where old and new characters learn to cope with loss and forge new paths ahead, finding new meaning and rekindling old passions amidst the embrace of like-minded companions. These three little books ought to be some of the most heartwarming, gentlest, and coziest I have ever read. I cannot recommend them hard enough

A humorous and heartwarming romance starring a lively lady masquerading as a man to secure her inheritance and freedom. She ought to keep a low-profile if she wished to stay out of jail, but then came the princess who stole her heart: despite bonding over activism, fashion, Brie's pooch, and a profound affection for grilled cheese, Cam and Brie are bound to end in heartbreak. Addressing gender bias, privilege, and one act of courage can make all the difference.

A hauntingly horrific tale of how far one is willing to go for what they want and the price of curiosity when it picks on the seams of lethal secrets: when the dark side of fairy tales clashes with brutal reality and one's own mind can no longer be trusted, a man willingly tempts certain ruin when he pursues answers in the sinister past of his enigmatic bride.
