Truth time: I cried at multiple points (read: through the whole book) while reading this. Katie has created the most wholesome, inclusive, supportive series with these Tea Dragons, and the whole thing feels like a warm hug.
This installment deals with some big issues of change and loss and it’s done in such a gentle way that it had me in tears. The overall theme of acceptance, particularly self-acceptance, and allowing yourself to feel your feelings is so I M P O R T A N T. And the aspects of found family among the group is so amazing that I can’t handle it. Each character has their own problems that they need to deal with and process in different ways, and everyone is so supportive and accepting of these individual journeys. This is exactly the kind of goodness that I needed in my life.
Katie’s drawing style is by far my favorite of any graphic novel I’ve read thus far. It’s expressive, colorful, soft, and beautiful. I honestly wish the world looked the way she draws it. And the cherry on top of all the beautiful wholesomeness in her stories? THE ADORABLE DRAGONS. Particularly the one in a scarf, because everyone needs to see that in their lives.
I cannot recommend this series enough, and this is by far my favorite installment.

The Tea Dragon Tapestry // by Katie O'Neill

I am so sad that with this book, the Tea Dragon Society series concludes! I could read 50 of these and never get tired of them! As always, the illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to share these books with other people. I enjoy how we always go along with several different characters and see their development and growth. But of course, the adorable tea dragons are my favorite!

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm so sad this series is over! It's so sweet and light, just what we need during these scary times! I think this book wrapped up the series nicely as it shows how all the characters are getting on and gives them a happy ending. it also leaves it open for more books in the future which was nice. long live Tea dragons!

Katie O'Neill does not disappoint, ever!! I loved it from the moment I began reading. Such a beautiful story ❤

The art is pure magic, 10/10. I can't wait to have the physical copy!

I'm going to miss this series! It's the most comforting, gentle read. There are so many charming details, like including a tiny tea dragon curled up on the copyright page, or a vine design wherever there's extra space. There is a lot of diversity in the characters, including differing skin colors, characters with disabilities, and queer characters. I love to just stop and stare at each page, taking the artwork in.

Greta has been taking care of Ginsberg the tea dragon for a year now, and he's still mourning his last owner. She's worried that she's not doing enough, but she's reminded that "sad people aren't objects to fix," and that she needs patience.

Minette is trying to figure out what her purpose is in life, after having to leave the monastery. I teared up at the conclusion of this.

It also ends with a little bit of the history of tea dragons. This is the coziest, most charming book, and I know I'll be coming back to this series whenever I need some comfort

[This book will also be discussed on Sept 1st's All the Books podcast]

This was the perfect conclusion to such a cute series!!! These graphic novels are by far my favorites and I can't wait to own them all. The illustrations were, of course, beautiful as always. And the story was as well! I'm so glad that the author connected so many of the characters together.

Story is great; artwork is sublime. Oh-so-cute continuation of the Tea Dragon stories by Katie O'Neill. I love these stories. Great graphic novels for kids - and adults will love them, too.

Focus on the characters from Tea Dragon Society (book 1): Greta and Minette; Erik and Hesekiel, with a pop-in from Rinn and Aedhan from Tea Dragon Festival. [You could read this stand-alone, but I'd recommend reading the others - especially book 1 - first.]

Picking up (seemingly) many years after the first and second books. Greta and Minette are trying to find their places/purpose in the world. Each must look into their hearts to find what they truly wish and how to express themselves.

I eagerly snapped this up after adoring the first two books in this series, and I was so pleased. This was wonderful.

**I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

3.5 stars. I will always love this series. It's heartwarming, beautiful, has unbeatable representation, and the messages within these books always stick with me long past reading. However, the plot of this one just didn't do it for me the way the others in the series have. I kept feeling like it needed more and then it just ended seemingly quick. Still beautiful and worth the read, but miss the mark for me personally.

*Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.*

A fantastic addition to the Tea Dragon series. The art is fantastic and the tea dragons super adorable. Just an incredibly sweet book that is not saccharine; dealing with serious issues but never feeling too dark. Highly recommended for all ages.

The third and latest installment of "The Tea Dragon" series by Katie O'Neill is as comforting, joyful and meaningful as the other two. In a way, it includes everything that made fans of The Tea Dragon Society and The Tea Dragon Festival fall in love with these stories, yet manages to offer an even more nuanced versions of the characters they have known to love with dreamy illustrations one can't admire enough!

I have read the other two installments right before starting this one and I can safely say that this series have become my favorite graphic novels!

For those that are familiar with the characters and the series, the story picks up a year after The Tea Dragon Society with a worried Greta who tries to make sure her tea dragon manages to adapt to a life without its former owner while preparing to create an item that will convince a renowned blacksmith take her under his wings as an apprentice.

In the meantime, we see a changed Minette, trying to come to terms with a past she can faintly remember and remain true to herself and her roots.

Some characters from The Tea Dragon's Festival make a cameo and the reader gets to find an interesting aspect and depth to each one of them. Through these characters and illustrations that make the reader stop and admire, we witness various unique yet relatable quests to find a (renewed) purpose, love oneself and others, deal with grief and change and admire life as it is while we can.

This next entry in the Tea Dragon series lives up to it's predecessors. The designs and images are fully immersive and the continuing story of the characters from The Tea Dragon Festival and The Tea Dragon Society feel organic and delightful. This book, like the series would be appropriate for all ages, but especially for grades 3 and up. It was an absolute joy to read this book.

Thank you Oni Press for this sweet precious story about finding yourself again after such deep loss. This story feels so cozy and I have absolutely adored this series.

I received an electronic galley via Netgalley. This review is also posted on Goodreads.

I loved this so much! I didn't realize until I started reading that there is a volume 2 that I haven't read yet, but I don't guess it affected my enjoyment too terribly. The illustrations are perfect, the multiple storylines weave together so sweetly, and the overall feeling of the book is just happy-warmtea-love-cozysweater-supportivefriends-foundfamily.

My favorite quote: "...remember, that you are already whole."

The previous two installments in this series blew me away and The Tea Dragon Tapestry is no exception. This series is so wholesome and cute. I loved seeing all the characters from the previous works come together to help Greta and Minette find their way. And as always Katie O’Neil just wow’d me with the art style. So colorful, bright and just happy; everything about this just makes you happy. Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the E-Arc.

A beautiful continuation of the story of tea dragons. The soft and dreamy illustrations and the flowing story makes this a must read! I cannot wait for the next in the story.

I am in love with this series. It is the perfect mix of whimsical and inclusive. The illustrations are gorgeous! I could gush about this series for ages. Perfect for young readers and adults alike! (My 11-month-old likes to look at the pictures while I'm reading, so really it's for all ages.)

A year has passed since Greta was entrusted with Ginseng's care. Join Greta on her quest to bring back the happiness that Ginseng once felt and design a masterpiece of blacksmith wonder, that's special enough to impress the master of blacksmith trade, (whom just so happens to be searching for an apprentice). Minette receives an unexpected gift from the monastery (where she originally trained to become a prophetess). But can the reserved and shy, sweet Minette gather enough courage to seek help when she feels lost in life? Join old friends and new in The Tea Dragon Tapestry.

The Tea Dragon Tapestry is a heartwarming story of (self) love, grief, growth, silver linings, friendship and family (both old and new). Intricately bold botanical flowers, create a symphony of beauty and calm... as you become a part of nature's sweet melody. A cozy and wise graphic novel that advises how to care for others and even yourself, if you or someone you love are struggling with a mental illness, (such as depression, grief or loss). Even co-occuring physical ailments such as arthritis and sleep problems, are mentioned and supplied with simple remedies.

A graphic novel that teaches you to not only enjoy the big adventures in life but the little ones too. A great advisory for anyone feeling lost and unsure of what step to take next...

My favourite of the series so far, I can't reccomend enough, I loved it!

As always, Katie O'Neill's artwork is absolutely beautiful and the storyline is meaningful and adorable. I really love this series and I can't wait to be able to add a copy to my collection.

I could not have asked for a better third, and final, book to this trilogy.

First of all, the art style is absolutely magnificent and so perfectly fits the atmosphere of the story with a shifting colour palette that excellently evokes the emotions that fit each scene.

Most importantly, however, this story does an exceptional job of discussing the process of grief through the lens of Ginseng's character and the ways in which Greta learns to love and support her dragon through these feelings of loss. Moreover, personally, I also really loved the way that self-discovery is explored in this story through Minette's character. We see her come to an understanding of a shift in her reality and perception of self, and through speaking with her ancestors and friends, she learns to embrace the changes that have come with growing through her passions. This notion of growth is something that I think will have a strong impact on readers of any age.

I absolutely loved this book. I did not have a chance to read book one and two but I was able to easily follow along. The illustrations are so incredibly beautiful. I feel like I need prints to hang on my wall. The story was adorable. All around so beautiful. I’m excited to read the other books. Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the chance to read.
