The final book of this cozy quartet holds up to the romantic magical fantasy adventure mode that was set in the prior three books. We are treated to an entire array of dilemmas, settings, and magical creatures packing the book with gryphons, dragons, royalty, bumbling kidnapers, adorable touristy towns, schools of magic, mages, and alchemists. Never a dull moment and not much time to enjoy a cozy book with a cup of tea for the cute main character couple of Reyna and Kianthe. If they ever get that dull moment, though, Alchemy and a Cup of Tea is just that perfect comfort-read to curl up with. But then, now that we have reached the end of their tales, and a fitting end it was, they may find they are able to carve out some time to enjoy their books. The extra snippet featuring Serina and Bobbie at the end was a delightful bonus and dare I hope for a spin-off?
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and thought the narrator, Jessica Threet, did an amazing job of giving distinct voice to both Reyna and Kianthe.
I received the ALC thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, Macmillan Audio) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ALC!!!!!!

I adore Jessica Threet’s narration. She’s just splendid.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES! Reyna and Kianthe are the sweetest, most amazing couple. I adore their chemistry and banter. I love, LOVE the dragons and griffins. I really want to open a book and tea shop in a quiet, small town!!!

Well done Rebecca Thorne!!!

Thanks to NetGalley for the Audio ARC!

Jessica Threet is perfection as Key and Rain - amazing job as always!!!

Rebecca Thorne does it again with another amazing and cozy addition to Key and Rain's story! The action was packed and the tea was hot, but I still left feeling like I had received a warm hug....and maybe a good cry because I can't believe it's over.

I seriously can't say enough about how much I love these characters and the unique and fun adventures they end up going on. This series has it all - pirates, romance, dragons, griffons, magic, alchemy, royals, espionage, swordplay, near-death experiences, tea, BOOKS!....it's the perfect combination of all things fantasy and escapism.

If you're a fan of fantasy, especially cozy fantasy, pick up this series now. It's worth the time!!

4.5 rounded up. I'm so sad to see this series end, but what an action packed way to finish! I flew through the audiobook in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down. This book expanded the world and magic system while both opening and wrapping up new and already explored story lines.

I could see the epilogue being divisive for readers, with some loving it and others finding it unsatisfying. I fall a little more towards the unsatisfying, but I think that's my personal taste.

I appreciated the extra scene with Bobby and Serena. It was cute and wrapped up their part of the story well. Still waiting for a future Feo and Wylan novella (one can dream!)
