4.0

A Pirate's Life for Tea is the highly anticipated cosy fantasy sequel to Can't Spell Treason without Tea, with another book planned to complete the trilogy.
There was certainly more action in A Pirate's Life for Tea than the first book, as it is more plot-focused than character-focused. I definitely missed Tawney and Tomes & Tea! So it did take me a while to get into this book, but the characters are what make this series for me. I just adore Kianthe and Reyna, and their relationship, as well as our new characters we met and our new romance between Serina and Bobbie.
It is the perfect escapism and definitely ideal for this autumnal time of year. I listened to this also via audiobook which is so well produced and narrated, I would highly recommend it.
I just think this is very strong for the first two books in the trilogy, and I cannot wait for book 3, Tea You at the Altar, to be released next year.
