First off this cover is beautiful! I love the colors and koi fish that are displayed on it. When reading the first look I knew I was going to love this book! It already pulls me in with wondering on how Ning created a tea that killed her mother and is making her sister sick. I also love a good competition in books so when Ning decides to to compete for tea making I thought this was a nice twist. I am also wondering who is this mysterious yet handsome boy that she meets when going to the imperial city. I also really enjoy how this book has Asian culture in it. I can't wait for this book to come out, I'm already hooked!
