A Pirate's Life for Tea

This sequel reintroduced loved characters Kianthe and Rayna, as well as adding a new enemies-to-lover pair, Bobbie and Serina.

While advertised as a cosy sequel, I would have said this was a more light-hearted fantasy, since there wasn't any time compared to the first book for our characters to sit down and even have a cup of tea. There were higher stakes than before, and despite there being cosy elements (crocheting mainly), it did not give enough to warrant it being a strict cosy fantasy.

Also, I did enjoy the storyline between our new pair, however I felt like the entire dragon plot line should have had its own book for focus rather being sharing the limelight with another storyline. The love story between Bobbie/Serina should have had their own POVs more than others, since I didn't feel very invested with their romance seen through others eyes.

I will still read book 3, since I am emotionally invested in this series, but I am unsure what direction it will next take in terms of cosy.
