About this listen

Judy I. Lin's sweeping debut A Magic Steeped in Poison, first in a duology, is sure to enchant fans of Adrienne Young and Leigh Bardugo.

I used to look at my hands with pride. Now all I can think is "These are the hands that buried my mother".

For Ning, the only thing worse than losing her mother is knowing that it's her own fault. She was the one who unknowingly brewed the poison tea that killed her - the poison tea that now threatens to also take her sister, Shu.

When Ning hears of a competition to find the kingdom's greatest shennong-shi - masters of the ancient and magical art of tea-making - she travels to the imperial city to compete. The winner will receive a favor from the princess, which may be Ning's only chance to save her sister's life.

But between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger.

definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys mysteries, political intrigue, or Chinese culture.

excellent start to what will be a great series

I longed for a more deep exploration of the character as I at this point don’t really feel connected to them, something that heavily sedates the emotional scenes in the story. Though the story is interesting.

Narrator had a tendency to start chapters with a ‘harsher’ tone and gradually throughout the chapter become more soft and melodic even. This quickly became annoying when listening for several hours at a time.

Overall nice book
