Whimsical and enchanting! I liked this more than the first one. The art is absolutely gorgeous. One of my main difficulties with the first book is the lack of plot, and here it's improved. Still a bit muddled at time, but nevertheless this was simply beautiful cozy vibes. I really loved Erik, he's my favourite. Also the depiction of sign language was beautiful, and I loved the glossary of dragons at the end.
This was a fun book. Not as memorable as the first one, but still very enjoyable.
Just because something comes easily to you, does not mean it has no value.
You find it effortless because you love it, and that is why it is your gift.
I JUST MARATHON READ BOTH BOOKS BACK TO BACK AND IM INFATUATED WITH THIS STORY, WORLD, AND CHARACTERS. I NEED THE NEXT BOOK ASAP!!! also i really want a tea dragon.

This Is such a beautiful book. I like it more than the first book. It's got a better plot to go with the art.
Even more charming than the first! A refreshing look at communal living, from the way Rinn's village raises tea dragons collectively to how readily everyone learns sign language when a deaf child is born. Gorgeous artwork, endearing and effortlessly diverse characters, a very grumpy tea dragon who never says a word but speaks to me unlike any character I've ever come across. Characters who are willing to reevaluate plans when faced with new information and perspectives, even if it means their wallet takes a hit.This series is basically a warm hug, something all of us need in a year like this one. O'Neill reminds us that supportive loved ones are the best antidote when you're down, and that we all take turns lifting each other up. I'd especially recommend to fans of [b:The Hidden Witch 36637409 The Hidden Witch (The Witch Boy, #2) Molly Ostertag https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1526269049l/36637409.SY75.jpg 58403610] and [b:Mooncakes 44774415 Mooncakes Suzanne Walker https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1565183719l/44774415.SY75.jpg 57982519].
I love how this universe of stories continues to expand! The story is relaxing, fun, and cute! The art style is charming ~ a nice slice of life! I really hope this series continues ( I secretly hope for a movie!) There are a few other books by Katie O'Neill and they are all really great reads.
I especially love the ASL used in this story and how you can see the signs being used in some panels. In a few panels I can tell some signs like “want” and “help” are clearly being used.
