Graphic Novel Review – Tea Dragon Tapestry

From Goodreads:

Join Greta and Minette once more for the heartwarming conclusion of the award-winning Tea Dragon series!

Over a year since being entrusted with Ginseng’s care, Greta still can’t chase away the cloud of mourning that hangs over the timid Tea Dragon. As she struggles to create something spectacular enough to impress a master blacksmith in search of an apprentice, she questions the true meaning of crafting, and the true meaning of caring for someone in grief. Meanwhile, Minette receives a surprise package from the monastery where she was once training to be a prophetess. Thrown into confusion about her path in life, the shy and reserved Minette finds that the more she opens her heart to others, the more clearly she can see what was always inside.

Told with the same care and charm as the previous installments of the Tea Dragon series, The Tea Dragon Tapestry welcomes old friends and new into a heartfelt story of purpose, love, and growth.

Just to preface this title was severely delayed due to COVID19 and therefore it has been over a year since I have read it. I have loved this series and this final glimpse into the world of the tea dragons was just as gorgeous as the previous ones. This one focuses around grief, helping and supporting a friend as they experience grief but also experiencing it at your own pace and healing in your own way.

As always the artwork is beautiful, the colour palette adds a calming as serine air and it is just chocked full with representations of a fantastically diverse community. They are just gorgeously joyful and heartwarming reads.
