Publisher's Summary
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.

Captivating book with beautiful narration.
I started this book with a physical copy and bought the audio because I had to drive and couldn’t stop reading!! The narration only added to the beautiful characters and story… it was an absolutely perfect voice for the main character Ning with beautiful pronunciation that really brought the book to life. I adored this book so much, and is one of those audio books I know I’ll listen to over and over because of how enjoyable the experience was. Truly a masterpiece 👏

What a cliff hanger!
I really enjoyed this book, it's very different to most of the books i usually listen to and all the more interesting for it.
The wide array of characters are all really likeable, or hateable. The narration was great, fleshing out individual characters and the story was really different and held my interest throughout the whole book and beyond, especially the very interesting form of magic I've not seen before. The cliff hanger ending was especially great and so unexpected, i can't wait to start book 2.
