Thank you to Netgalley and Bramble for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I stopped at about 25% in. In theory, this book was going to be everything I loved in a more cozy fantasy setting. Since this book is continually comped to Legends and Lattes, I couldn’t help but compare the two as I was reading. Can’t Spell Treason without Tea has its charms and decent world-building, yet I was left unsatisfied by the characters and their pursuit in opening up a bookstore and hiding away from the Queen, the latter of which felt wholly unnecessary. However, I do see how this book continues to pave the way for the cozy fantasy genre, and I believe people who enjoy low stakes and DND will love this one too. It just wasn’t for me.
