Book Synopsis:
A wedding should be fun . . . right?
The Princess Bride meets Travis Baldree in Tea You at the Altar, the third cosy fantasy in Rebecca Thorne’s bestselling Tomes & Tea series. Our sapphic adventurers must navigate the ultimate maelstrom – their own wedding!
Kianthe and Reyna are finally ready to walk down the aisle. This feels so right, but their plans are going all wrong. Pirates crowd the town, Kianthe’s estranged parents invited themselves, the baby dragons are causing mayhem – and they might run out of tea. Yet the truth overshadows everything . . . for their wedding has nothing to do with marriage, and everything to do with overthrowing the vicious Queen Tilaine.
But the Queendom’s secret heir would rather manage a hive of bees or study city planning than take the throne. As the big day nears and the coup unravels, Kianthe and Reyna must rely on each other and their friends to survive the experience. Six days until they say ‘I do’. Six days until the Realm changes for ever . . .
My Review:
Tea You At The Altar is another cute, funny and very absorbing cosy fantasy read from the fabulous Tomes and Tea series .
Firstly it was great fun being back in Tawney and getting to spend time with Kianthe, Reyna and their friends. I’ve grown really fond of them over the series and it’s lovely to see that they’ve built such a close knit group of friends who support them. Kianthe and Reyna seem like such genuine, relatable characters that I wish I knew in real life. It’s been fun watching the relationship develop and I had to keep reading to see if they’d get the happy ending I felt they deserved. This book also features some very cute baby dragons, Griffiths and a whole host of other magic creatures that made me smile as I read. Some of the characters are able to ride dragons which I absolutely loved as it’s something I wish I was able to do.
I thought this book had a good pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to ensure that I kept reading. Between trying to plan a wedding, dealing with Kianthe’s disapproving parents and plotting to overthrow the evil Queen Tilaine our heroins have a lot going on. It was fun to follow the characters throughout all the drama and see how everyone unfolds for them.
The ending was brilliant and very surprising as I didn’t see it coming. It helps to set up the story neatly for book 4 which I’m now even more excited to read.
Huge thanks to Book Break, Pan Macmillan and Tor for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. If you’re a fan of cosy fantasy I highly recommend this book.

I didn’t realize that there was going to be a book 4. I enjoyed the first two and have this one “teed” up to read/listen to soon. Nice review, Joanna.
