Comfort, passion, love, understanding and acceptance. These are what come to mind whenever I read The Tea Dragon Tapestry.

This beautiful story is a sequel to the Tea Dragon Society. Where characters paths from previous stories intertwine with one another and become one.

The artwork is beautiful with earthy tones and pastels. Prepare your eyes for a beautiful story not just written in words but created with pictures that come to life.

I would recommend this to anyone who just needs a nice uplifting adventure. Not to mention it tackles important topics like accepting who you were is not who you are now. Life brings so many changes and sometimes it’s hard to cope. This is perfect for a younger audience who may have a hard time tackling change.

I gave this a 5 out of 5 stars!

This was a wonderfully gentle and inclusive final installment in this fabulous trilogy. We return to the story of Minette and Greta, as they both prepare for adulthood as Greta tries to encourage Ginseng out of his grief. As always, the art here was beautiful and the story, while possibly the weakest of the three, was lovely. I think Katie O'Neill is doing great work and would recommend this series to anyone.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This was like a breath of fresh yet familiar air. After reading the forst two installments in the tea dragon series I was so happy to find the old characters well described and illustrated convincingly with the change of time difference in this last graphic novel.

This book will always be special because of the amount of diversity, love and belongingness that is seen in these books is such a happy feeling. I loved the illustrations and the art is just too good and admirable. Though the story isn't as strong as the first book, this book hasn't done even a teensy amount of injustice to neither the characters nor the art. I loved the return of the big dragon and how adoringly their relationships have developed and even the importance of learning of what happened at home even though they live away now.

The book has diverse creatures and characters which makes reading it even more appreciable, from the very huge trees right to the small blade of grass the details were fabulous. On the whole I loved the book and this is a unique book with an unexpected sort of congregation of characters and they will leave you longing for more. So if you love reading graphic novels you can definitely put this on your list
Thankyou netgalley for the review copy. #netgalley #teadragontapestry

My rating for this book doesn't really come as a surprise to me. I have already loved Tea Dragon Society and Tea Dragon Festival.

Much like the first two Tea Dragon books, this one was full of wonderful, enchanting and whimsical illustrations. I simply adore Katie O'Neills art style. There is something so rich and beautiful about it that I could look at her drawings for hours.
But her wonderful art isn't the only reason why I love these books so much. It is also the chatacters, that are so charming, complex and diverse that you just have to love them.
I love Greta and Minette and their friendship, that I'm sure might one day bloom into something even more majestic. Erik and Hezekiel. Greta's Parents. There are just so many lovable characters in this story.

This book deals with issues like grief and feeling lost and finding purpose and passion again. It tells it in a wonderful way that is easily approachable for all ages and still manages to hit home.

I cannot wait to (hopefully) see more of Katie's books in the future because I don't think I'll ever not love and adore them.

I've been reading this series since I first discovered the Tea Dragon Society, and this does NOT disappoint! I'm so happy to see Katie decided to make a third installation, and I hope it never stops. Her stories are some of the most cherished books I've had the honor of reading. Thank you!

A really cute conclusion to the Tea Dragon series! These stories are always fun and light with beautiful characters and illustrations and this one didn't disappoint. A really great short read if you are just needing something light and fluffy to make yourself feel better.

Once again, a crush! ^^
In this volume, we follow Minette in her identity's quest and Greta in her apprenticeship in blacksmith as well as in her problems with Ginseng who is wasting away despite all his efforts.

As for the second book in this series (which was the first I read), I loved the sweetness of the story, but also the author's graphic style.

In short, a series to read and have read, full of sweetness, varied representation, and love! ^^

Oh, this was wonderful! I'm already a big fan of the whole tea dragon universe, and this was such a lovely addition to it. I, once again, loved the story and the characters, and above all, the art! Every single graphic novel in this series already has this magical, fairytale-like quality to it that is enhanced so much by the whimsical and just beautiful art, and it makes me so happy. If there was one graphic novel series I'd want to magically land in the hands of every single reader on earth, it'd be this one.

I use the words "soft", "enchanting", and "gentle" in all of my reviews of Katie O'Neill's works, and The Tea Dragon Tapestry is no different. This installment in the Tea Dragon series brings together the characters from the previous two books, and as always includes a diverse range of representation including queer, POC, and disability. Breathtaking artwork accompanies a whimsical and poignant tale about mourning and healing. Whether for a loved one or for your own past self, grieving is a process that looks a little different for everybody, but is an important part of growing and moving forward to new phases of your life.

<p>I adore this series and would love to keep revisiting this world and the characters within! Such an excellent continuation of the worldbuilding and character growth. I was blown away!</p>

<p>There is an incredibly gentle and impactful insight into disability, discovering yourself and a purpose, adapting to change, grief, and diversity in relationships that it is hard to believe that this is a middle grade story with little reliance on written words. The author, who is also the artist, does an amazing job of emoting and relaying information. You absolutely must pick up this book in addition to the previous two stories set in this world: <a href="https://reddsreads.wordpress.com/2017/10/11/waiting-on-wednesday-the-tea-dragon-society-by-katie-oneill/" data-type="post" data-id="5552">The Tea Dragon Society</a> and <a href="https://reddsreads.wordpress.com/2019/07/03/waiting-on-wednesday-the-tea-dragon-festival-by-katie-oneill-review/" data-type="post" data-id="6318">The Tea Dragon Festival</a>.</p>

<h2>Summary:</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<p><strong>Join Greta and Minette once more for the heartwarming conclusion of the award-winning Tea Dragon series!</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

Another beautiful volume of Tea Dragons. Atmospheric, beautiful, and bringing together the previous two volumes. It seems like this is the conclusion to the trilogy from the epilogue which is a shame - there is definitely more that could have been explored. This isn't a plot heavy series, but an exploration of the characters lives and a look into their beautiful world. This third instalment just adds to it. There were so many nice lines of dialogue that could read like little self-help quips.

Are you feeling down? Get these books. Got a little one in your life? Get them these books.

"Everything that happens is part of your wholeness. The sadness, the loss, the hurt, as well as the joy, the love, the friendship--it is all part of your tapestry."

I just really loved this, and can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy.

Like the first book in this trilogy, it's so adorable. The colors are in a "relaxing" palette and the artwork is really cute. The "History" at the end was fantastic, too. While the author doesn't hit you over the head with the inclusion of diversity throughout the books, she included someone in a wheelchair, different skin tones, and different types of relationships. These are beautiful books.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the digital arc. This is one of the best I've seen so far! Expected publication date is listed as October 27, 2020.

I'm considering getting a physical copy of this trilogy for my own library, but even if I don't, I think several young children I know are getting them as gifts.

Im still always in owe with the world built by Katie O’Neil. Here we meet again Greta and Minette, a bit older, still loving their tea dragons. Greta is trying to work on a piece to impress a famous blacksmith and to find how to create a bond with her tea dragon, while Minette is struggling to understand messages from her past.
Of course, all is well that ends well!
It was a pleasure to rediscover the characters through the pages, share parts of their lives. And of course I’m never tired of the tea dragons! I was particularly fond of some of the last scenes where some tea is drunk and we see all future memories being shared, like a window to what our characters can expect !

Upcoming posts on Instagram and YouTube later on!

This was so cute!! I preferred the Tea Dragon Society better, I think it's because the world was so new and magical that I was so in awe in everything, But I absolutely loved the plot. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Greta learned how to show love and support to her tea dragon is a great way to teach kids, or even anyone, how to support someone who is going through a tough time--by giving them space and by showing unconditional love. I thought that this was a great way to show depression, while not making the story too dark.

I loved this one! The art work is amazing as usual and I loved the dual storyline. We met some characters from the prequel that was released in between the Society and this one and I loved seeing them again! Definitely recommend if you love cosy fantasy books!

I am so sad that this series is over. This book was a fantastic ending.

This story takes the reader back to the original Tea Dragon Society. It picks up a year after Greta agreed to care for Ginseng. She's worried because Ginseng is still in mourning for a previous owner. Greta is also working on a piece to try and impress a potential master blacksmith. Minette is struggling with finding her purpose in her new life. Can both of them find just the right thing?

This series of books is just so relaxing. You just know that everything is going to be okay. There's no worry or suspense. I love it. I loved this ending to the series. I loved the characters and their endings. There is just so much to love about this. I'm so sad that it's over.

This is the ARC I've been most excited for thus far. Thank you, NetGalley!



I'll give my perspective: I love this series. It accomplishes so many things I've always wanted-- casual representation (of POC, LGBT people, and disabled people, off the top of my head) in a fantasy setting, humanoid monsters, and worldbuilding that is both unique and easily understandable. Not to mention that it does this in a children's series.

I say it every time, but here it is again-- when I was a young teen I couldn't find LGBT books for my age. I didn't know where to look or how to ask, and I sometimes switched shelves when other people walked by so nobody would see I was near a Gay Author looking at Gay Things. It is consistently incredible to see the progress of LGBT media for children.

So you know I was excited to read this. And you can probably tell by the five stars that I was very happy. And I suppose I could leave it at that: if you've read the series, then read this, and if you haven't read the series, then go read the series. But I would like to really flesh out my discussion of this book in particular, since the entire series (and, let's be honest, the author herself) deserve so much more popularity right now.



Firstly: the representation. It is very much still there. Greta and Minette have that wonderful bond, and seeing them grow up even a little is lovely. Their designs age so well, and we still have Hesekiel and Erik being cute in the background. This book departs somewhat from the relationships to explore characters on their own, particularly Minette and Greta, and yet they come together often to be supportive of each other. They never fail to warm my heart...

And so I would like to talk about each of them for a moment.

Minette is a lot of things. I get the sense that there is so much more of her to explore, and yet even the hints we get are so poignant. Minette struggles with her religion, her family, and who she really is-- a theme that will ring true for many, many people, LGBT and otherwise. Her dreams and nightmares are illustrated beautifully and she gets a fitting resolution that neither feels falsely happy nor pessimistic, which is surprisingly difficult to pull off-- emotional nuance, particularly in kids' media.

Greta is making things in a non-capitalist way. This is what I was thinking the entire time-- that Greta's story is, fundamentally, about how we work and why. She's got a chance to become an apprentice to a great blacksmith, but what ought she make for him? What would really impress him? And, of course, she has to learn that it's not about the complexity or the difficulty of the project. Say it with me: it's the thought that counts. And the adults discuss how nice it is to see Greta making things not just to serve a utilitarian purpose, but because she takes joy in her craft.

And, again, this book is putting all of these ideas in a format that makes it easy for children to engage with! This is a book which can be read at multiple ages and levels, and in particular it isn't afraid to discuss more complex themes for children.

The art is gorgeous, as always. I would think there was no way O'Neill could top this or that page, and then there would be another one even better. If I liked a landscape, in four pages there'd be a panel so beautiful it'd take my breath away. If I liked the characters' expressions, O'Neill would hand me a spread that made me tear up. The art only gets better, and I found myself consistently thinking "I would love a print of this" or "oh I wish I could put this on my wall..."

Speaking of which, many aspects of this book do something I find personally very difficult: they are good with and without the context of the rest of the book. There are lines which are all the stronger for the rest of the story, but are impressive on their own. There are panels which are gorgeous and perfect for the tone of the narrative, but can also be appreciated for their beauty and emotion outside of the book as well.

What else can I say? Because I really do want to get new people into this, and of course I want to thank the author for making this available for us to read early.

Hm... The tea dragons are cuter than ever. We meet new, wonderful characters with fantastic designs and personalities. I'm going to say it again: the art is OUTSTANDING. And there's even a little section at the end to discuss the history of tea dragons! I'll admit I'm not one for worldbuilding outside of a narrative, but it was a wonderful touch for those who want just a little bit more information on the dragons.



All in all, another hit from O'Neill. I'm so happy to read more from an author I love so much. Immediately put in a request for it at my local library; it's a wonderful addition to the series.

This continues to astound both in its artistry and writing as well as its representation and magical storytelling. It's the kind of book (and series) that you run your hands and fingers over the pages with each page turn and the creatures that life is breathed in to by O'Neill has such a profound sense of appreciation for the natural (and magical) world where relationships to one another and to nature are more important than anything else- and thus reap benefits for everyone and everything.

The message is strong.

The artwork blows my mind with its palette of colors and the pages without dialogue or narrative sparkle. Yet, any interaction between the characters is just as lovely too. There's history of the tea dragons and apprenticeship with a deep-seated anticipation for what's yet to come for the characters.

It had a fun and warm atmosphere like the previous ones.

I am not disappointed and I think it has completed the trilogy very well.

The art is always great.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for this title to read and review!

The Tea Dragon Tapestry was just as enchanting as the other graphic novels in the series. My favorite thing about these books other than the gorgeous illustrations is the way the author weaves such beautiful tales of love, acceptance, and adventure. The representation of POCs, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ community only adds to the charm and magic of these tales.

I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!
