This book was so beautiful, cute, and sweet. I absolutely adored it. Since I also loved Princess Princess Ever After, this isn't really a surprise. O'Neill's works are sweet, gentle, and magical.

I found the themes in this book so lovely. It has wonderful things to say about friendship and love, about preserving traditions, and about appreciating the beauty in simple objects. I really responded to the idea of the ways in which memory infuses the people and objects in our lives, which is something I think too many of us take for granted. What I mean by this is picture your favorite object and why it means so much to you. Chances are, there are a lot of important memories associated with it. I loved the way this book expressed that.

The artwork in this book is just so gorgeous too. The tea dragons and Brick are adorable, and the colors and details make the art so engaging that you just want to look at it for a good, long time. I suspect this is the kind of book where, upon each reread, you notice small details you didn't notice before.

Just plain magical. Now I want a cup of tea and the next book in the series!

Pour les amateurs de thé ET de dragon

Le Cercle du Dragon-Thé est une adorable lecture doudou, tant dans l'histoire que dans l’image, qui ne demande qu'à être appréciée. C’est une lecture simple, mais qui se sera affectionnée pendant très longtemps. O'Neill a créé des dragons mignons capables de faire pousser du thé, mais pas n’importe quel thé, en effet le boire vous permet d'expérimenter à votre tour les souvenirs passés des maîtres du thé.

Les illustrations sont douces, presque naïves. O'Neill a un style charmant, lumineux et plein de couleurs, ainsi qu'une esthétique « cottagecore » palpable.

J’ai beaucoup apprécié les nombreuses représentations qui sont délicatement immergées dans l'histoire. Aussi, le petit manuel du dragon thé concluant le livre était amusant. O'Neill y détaille chacune des espèces de dragon avec des faits amusants à leur sujet et quelques légendes sur les dragons de thé immergeant d’autant plus le lecteur dans son univers.

C'est une lecture mettant de bonne humeur, un beau petit livre sur l'amitié, la solidarité, le respect des traditions et la fierté de ce que l'on est et de ce que l'on peut faire.

This was a sweet read. Really love the concept of tea dragons and this was a cozy magical book! I would definitely want a hibiscus tea dragon! I’m excited to read the other books in this series!
