[maeve-is-annoying-about-books]

I really love the arc of the Tomes and Tea series and the little brilliance in it.

Book 1: "Can we have the quiet life we want? Can we really run away from it all and have a real home for the two of us? Even though dragons want to burn it all down and a mad queen is threatening us?"

Book 2: "Well first we have to go fulfill Kianthe's promise to dragonkind, and then our home won't be scorched to ash. We can do that and have time to drink wine on the Nacean."

Book 3: "Okay, maybe we can overthrow the queen after all, and have a public wedding about it. Now finally we can have our tea shop in peace and quiet, a happy ending!"

Book 4: "Can we have the quiet life we want? Can we really run away from it all and have a real home for the two of us?"

I like a 4-beat progression that returns to the first note in a different flavour. Life is cyclical and the problems we deal with will happen continuously in different forms over the course of it. In this case I especially love it for a book about a relationship, tackling life's recurring problems to be together at day's end. It's really sweet to see that they've done it once already, and now in book 4 we now have to do it again knowing what they've already conquered to be here.

Kianthe and Reyna my beloveds.

It was one of the most vulnerable things Kianthe had ever admitted. It made her heart pound, made her skin feel tight around her bones. She knew the confession was safe with Reyna, but she'd spent a lifetime hiding these feelings, and that was a tough habit to break. Part of her wanted to laugh it off, flee the words. She didn't.

[rebeccathornewrites]

About to finish listening to Alchemy and a Cup of Tea, and have absolutely loved it, but the rest of the series as well. I really like getting tattoos of flowers that represent some of my favorite characters, so I wanted to ask what flowers you’d think best represent Reyna and Kianthe?

Oooh, this is such a great question. I feel like white jasmine is pretty fitting for them and their relationship! I think it symbolizes new beginnings, which feels perfect. I love this idea for a tattoo!
