    The Tea Dragon Tapestry by Katie O’Neill | ARC Review

    20th July 2020
    Cover of The Tea Dragon Tapestry (Katie O'Neill)

    The Tea Dragon Tapestry (Tea Dragon #3) by Kay O’Neill

    • Publisher: Oni Press, 2020
    • Genre: Graphic Novel, Fantasy, Children’s Literature, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Hardcover (eARC)
    • Page Count: 128 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

    The final instalment of Tea Dragon series brings the whole story to a beautiful end. It takes place one year after The Tea Dragon Society and many years after The Tea Dragon Festival. We get to see Greta, Minette, Erik, Hesekiel, Rinn, and Aedhan again. I totally recommend reading the previous books first for full enjoyment as I am unsure if this book would make sense as a standalone.

    The Tea Dragon Festival by Katie O’Neill

    17th July 2020
    Cover of The Tea Dragon Festival (Katie O'Neill)

    The Tea Dragon Festival (Tea Dragon #2) by Kay O’Neill

    • Publisher: Oni Press, 2019
    • Genre: Graphic Novel, Fantasy, Children’s Literature, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 136 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

    The Tea Dragon Festival takes place several years prior to The Tea Dragon Society, back when Erik and Hesekiel were young lads. The story predominately follows Rinn, Erik’s nibling, as they befriend young dragon Aedhan after stumbling upon him in an eighty-year slumber.

    On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

    14th June 2020
    Cover of Tillie Walden's On a Sunbeam

    On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

    • Publisher: Self-Published, 2016
    • Genre: Graphic Novel, Sci-Fi, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Webcomic
    • Page Count: 544 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    “No. No way. You don’t get to decide that. You don’t get to decide what’s important for us. You can choose for yourself, but no one else. When you chose not to respect us, we chose not to respect you. […] Have you ever even considered that something that’s trivial to you could mean … so much more to someone else? You don’t get to take the easy road out and just respect the parts of people you recognize. And, pro-tip: If you find yourself in a similar situation in the future where you’re surrounded by people you don’t understand, try listening. It’ll work a lot better for you than talking.”

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
