About this listen

On this week's First Five Chapters, Luke Kerr is joined by Bookstacked and Bookmarked podcast founder Saul Marquez to dive into A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin. 

Volume 1 in The Book of Tea duology, A Magic Steeped in Poison entices readers with its rich imagery. Ning's motivation to save her sister is clear. Lin is a master of dropping breadcrumbs and beautifully succinct sentences , which keeps readers turning pages.

If A Magic Steeped in Poison has one "fault," it is that its first five chapters seem too short and readers could have been given a deeper understanding into Ning's relationship with her father.

The Book of Tea Volume 2, A Venom Dark and Sweet hits bookstores on August 23, 2022.

Only you can decide whether to read beyond the First Five Chapters!
