I enjoyed Hafsah Faizal's Sands of Arawiya duology, so I have been looking forward to reading her latest creation. Based on what I've read so far, The Tempest of Tea promises all the adventure, romance, and imaginative world-building that characterizes Hafsah's work. The cover is eye-catching and I do love a beautiful map. My only critique at this point is that the world building and character development felt a little rushed in these first few chapters, but I am still intrigued.
