I adore Katie O'Neil's work. This is one of my favourite cute graphic novel series and the third instalment is just the cherry on the top. The best thing about Katie's work is that it is always inclusive and soft.

I wish I had more of this kind of books when I was growing up. I am sure The Dragon Tapestry and all the other tea Dragon books will be an amazing addition for everyone's library. The drawings are gorgeous and the story is original, thoughtful, funny and incredibly cute.

I love the idea of Tea Dragons, I hopelessly wish I had my own. I would take it everywhere with me.

I loved reading this so much!!

The artwork was absolutely adorable (I loved the choice of colours!), and the characters were so relatable! I couldn't stop reading till the very end and i'm CRAVING more stories from the world of Tea Dragons!
It was great to see such a diverse range of characters in the story and I really enjoyed the calming atmosphere that was created.
(Now I just need to get my own tea dragon!)

I hope to continue with the series from here, and would definitely love to see more stories within the Tea Dragon world!
Highly recommend as a short and sweet comfort read!

Rating: 4/5 stars

Thank you Oni Press for an ARC!

This book is just everything I've come to love in the Tea Dragon world. Katie O'Neil is just amazing. It hits home and you really come to connect with the story and characters. Her art, coloring, and style is amazing like always. It's said to see this world come to a close but still amazing book.

I can't even properly express how much I love this series. It feels like fuel for the heart. Not only is it full of a diverse cast who has meaningful and loving relationships with each other, but the tea dragons are so stinkin' cute.

This one is a little sadder than the other ones, but it's what I needed right now. It's about change and realizing that it's okay to be a different person now than you were once. And it's about grief and learning how to move on.

The art is an absolute delight, and I want to have the physical version of this book because it is probably even prettier in person.

Thank you SO MUCH to NetGalley for the ARC. This review is of my own volition.

Katie O'Neill's third installment in the Tea Dragon series of graphic novels, The Tea Dragon Tapestry, continues with the previously established characters on a new story arc.

I had already pre-ordered The Tea Dragon Tapestry before I knew I was approved for an ARC, I was so very certain I would love it. I have loved the other books in this series, and the same is true for this installment. Katie O'Neill's stunning art style meets a wholesome, feel good story with all manner of inclusion and representation. Let alone, the building of a beautiful world with well thought out creature lore and associated magic. I have never heard anything bad about the series, and I really believe that's because there is something in the story to appeal to anyone.

I enjoyed seeing the stories of the characters expanded in this book, and getting more of a full description of their histories and how those came to impact their present selves.

Katie O'Neill's Tea Dragon books are autobuys for me, and will continue to be based on the high quality content she has continually put forward.

This was a delightful little graphic novel involving one of my favourite subjects, tea! I had heard of The Tea Dragon Scociety, however had never read any of the books and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously aimed with children in mind, however worked really well for a young adult too. The illustrations were quirky and unique and the storyline was touching however had an important message for children. You did not have to have read the other books to dive straight into this world and feel for the characters. I loved it and will be finding the first book to read it.

I know, I know, I shouldn't read things out of order but the first two were hard to come by where I live and are on backorder so I just jumped in.

I'm so glad I did.

Though this is the third and FINAL Tea Dragon book, it was my first glimpse at The Tea Dragon Society. I loved it, this book focused on grief, from the loss of loved ones to the loss of a past self.

The artwork is just as gorgeous as O'Neill's always work tends to be and I would lose time just gazing at a page and taking in the beautiful details and colors.

Gorgeous book, can't wait to reread it after I get my other two.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

5 / 5

This was truly perfect. Not only has the art gotten even more beautiful but I loved so many themes of this story in particular. The dialogue was beautiful and so very quotable. I want to live in this story and this world forever!

I *loved* this SO much! This was everything I could have hoped for in a conclusion! I cannot believe this story is over. This was so perfect.

This is such a tender story. It’s my favourite comic series of all times. It feels like a comforting blanket you can wrap yourself in after a long day and just stay there, warm, safe and finally at peace.

The plot isn’t big here, it’s more character driven than anything, but for me that was perfect. I love the dynamics, the emotions and individual challenges each character goes through. It talks about themes such as grief, change, apathy towards things that used to make the characters who they are, and finally coming at peace with what that leaves you. All in a very inspiring and positive light, as usual.

I just love the entire concept of the comics. A balcksmith apprentice getting tangled up with the tea dragon world. It’s such a quiet magic, the dragons and their bonds, the teas, the herbs, the slightly magical characters with horns and other mythical details. My favourite moments are the ones set in the teahouse where we see the characters bonding over their love for teacraft and nature.

Their relationship with one another is so heartwarming and pure. Sometimes a family is an ex adventurer, his tea master husband, their mysterious tea apprentice, a young blacksmith and their tiny dragons

I wish I could stay forever inside this cozy world Katie O’Neill built. I’m so sad to say goodbye but that’s okay. Sometimes sadness just means it was worth it. And it absolutely was.

Katie O'Neil does it again with tea dragons and their lovable owners. Rooibos's owner makes pottery. She has been trained by a master but the best of the best master has rolled into town. She must be worthy as an apprentice, otherwise, the master will choose another. The light colors bring a sense of calmness to this graphic novel and the characters are all charming. Reading this graphic novel is like walking through a field of flowers with no direction. It's beautiful and leaves you in awe.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of “The Tea Dragon Tapestry” by Katie O’Neill. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’ve only read the first book, “The Tea Dragon Society,” but I definitely want to pick up the rest of the books in the future. Having not yet read the second book, I’m sure I missed some pieces of the world, but I still very much enjoyed the story. The art is lovely and makes me very happy to look at it. There are poignant and moving discussions between the characters about passion and purpose in life and these lessons felt very welcome to me in the difficult current state of the world. I think anyone suffering from a creative block would find solace in these pages and feel seen in their struggles.

4/5 stars

The art in The Tea Dragon Tapestry is gorgeous. The colours are soft but make the characters and scenery stand out without being eye-popping and a strain to the eyes. The design and detail that goes into the characters, outfits, and backgrounds gave life and magic to the world of Tea Dragons as it introduced elements that enriched the world and the story.

It was a still sort of story, not filled with thrilling action or with fantastical rituals and performances. Instead, it was content with exploring memories and desires, quiet dreams and little hopes of the characters, who were a fascinating and diverse cast with their unique personalities and memorable appearances.

I loved how across a 100 pages or so, I was able to grasp the personalities of these characters and get to know them, though I’d probably need the first two books to feel more connected and invested in their stories. Even so, I was touched by the determination and the innocence the characters had and admired the way they overcame their fears with courage and with the help of those around them.

The reasons behind my idea that this book would be great for both adults and children are that the wisdom, the ideas brought up in this book – Greta’s indecision, Minette’s fears of change… these things are faced directly in the book. Its openness would appeal to children, who would see these fears, this indecision and come to their own conclusions, interpretations, and opinions of these things. As for adults, who already have been exposed to these things, it is a nice direct reminder of the things we have forgotten or have convinced ourselves that we know enough of.

I enjoyed The Tea Dragon Tapestry and it definitely piqued my interest enough to want to read the previous two books. If you’re looking for a cosy, heartwarming read with beautiful art, then you might want to give this a go. (Also, Tea Dragons are super adorable.)

5/5 stars

Thank you so so so so so fucking much to Netgalley for providing this arc.

Do i really need to explain the beauty that is this book series? Not really, you just need to read it for clear skin and a better life. The art style is so pretty and mystically diverse in the most subtle ways

Another excellent addition to the Tea Dragon series. In this (perhaps) final installment, Greta is having trouble caring for her grief-stricken dragon, Ginseng, as she's working hard to obtain an apprenticeship for a legendary blacksmith. Meanwhile, her friend, Minette, is plagued by nightmares of a mysterious past which upend the gentle tranquility of her present life.
Reading any of Katie O'Neill's books is like warm tea after a long rainy day, or a hug from a friend you haven't seen in a long time; it's delightful. As always, though dialogue in these books is slightly wanting, the art in them is often even more magical and breath-taking than its own whimsical yet meandering plot. The primary color palettes in this volume especially have a beautiful automnal feel: olive greens, pale peach-yellow, plum reds, burgundy purples... Alongside a charming cast of characters and its feel-good story, this is certainly a beautiful book to own solely for its exquisite visuals. You come out of it feeling that refreshed, wholesome rejuvenation many will associate with Studio Ghibli movies.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.

What it's about:
The third part of the Tea Dragon Series which shows how Greta grows as a tea dragon owner as well as a budding blacksmith. It also shows Minette learning more about her past and coming to terms with what happened. The diverse cast are all wonderfully entwined together and overall, this book just makes me yearn for more.

When this comes out physically I intend to buy it as well as the first two books (Tea Dragon Society and Tea Dragon Festival) which I currently have digital copies of on ComiXology.

Pros
The art, just like the first two books, is stunning
The characters have a good journey of growth
Every character is equally included
The characters and the universe it is set in is truly awe-worthy and magical
Cons
No cons

I’ve to start this saying that this is the most beautiful and sweet story I’ve had the pleasure to read. The artwork is spectacular and soft and I love everything about it. The Tea Dragon Tapestry is a sequel of the first book, here one year later we can see the characters life and their changes.
This book talks about understanding yourself, how our passions and purpose in life can change. Sometimes this can be clear but when what we know changes or it isn’t what we want, at first it can be confusing and we can feel lost but the time is the most important thing that helps us to find ourselves and start growing again.
This story talks about grief and loss, love and support and the friendship you forge.
I really loved it and I need to read more about the author.

This book is so heartwarming and fun! I love this series so much and honestly think that it I important for everyone no matter age to read this. There are so many important themes for children to learn that are beautifully woven into the story making this wonderful for young kids. The art style is stunning and makes me want to own a tea dragon! I think that the main thing that makes this story very important, especially for kids is the representation. Representation included: non binary, m/m romance, and wheelchair/disabled.

The Tea Dragon Tapestry is the sequel to The tea dragon society. The Tea dragon festival is a companion with other main characters that return here. Greta and Minette have t figure out their future and what they want to do with the help of the other remarkable characters.

It's longer than the first one, which has 46 pages, and this one has 128 with the addition of extracts from The Illustrated History of Tea Dragons.
The plot is simple but really cute and perfect for young people, it leaves us messages about who we are and how we can change and help those around us.
The illustrations are beautiful and stunning as usual with bright colors.
I wish that it had more pages.
It's a really sweet and recommended graphic novel for all ages.

5/5 stars!

Oh my goodness! With the same love and charm as always, this much beloved series comes to a close!

As the third book in the Tea Dragon Society series, it follows Minette amd Greta. Minette is struggling to balance her past and present, while Greta contemplates her present and future. And a poor Ginseng dragon is still a sad baby!

How do I even begin? If you’ve read either or both of the previous book, you’ll know that this book is made with such a special kind of wholesome that you want to share it.

The art is as beautiful as ever and somehow, ever improving. It’s msgical to see changes in character design that just feel like a natural progression of the character. This is especially true in characters from the previous book who have aged a bit and it very clearly shows. Needless to say, I love the art very very much.

The colors will never cease to calm me and have me dreaming of cartoon food for days to come. But it is especially the soft character design that fills my heart. Characters new and old are really well desgined in a way that inspires beauty and creativity, it’s just amazing to see. It definitely has me wishing for a tv adaption, just to see these colors in movement.

The story that it tells.is equally as wholesome. Minette and Greta have come quite a way and still have more to think about in this book. What I love about the story is that while these two characters have a lot to think about and it is very pressing. The book is never frantic, things fall into place, as they do. It’s not a book where I rush to the end to see what happens. I just savor each page as they come.

Ok so…Erik is still my boy, I cannot change the winds. However, my other fav boy happens to be in this one also and so you can understand, just how much love is in my heart.

Also, the overall messages of this book concerning: how to deal with your past, how to think about failure, and even how to help those who’re grieving, are super important and really well done.

TL;DR: Please read this series! It’s beautiful, wholesome, creative, cute, and heart-warming beyond all belief. It’s a gift of a book to share with loved ones.
