Week 42 Review: Tea You at the Altar

From Goodreads:

The Princess Bride meets Bookshops and Bonedust in the third book of the Tomes & Tea series, where our favorite lesbian pirates must navigate the ultimate maelstrom—their own wedding!

Kianthe and Reyna are ready to finally walk down the aisle—in just seven days, their wedding of a wifetime will be a reality. There's loads to do—but like all best laid plans, everything seems to be going awry.

Between their baby dragons causing mayhem in Tawney, Kianthe's uptight parents inviting themselves to the wedding, and Reyna becoming embroiled in a secret plot to overthrow Queen Tilaine, the world seems against them—how are they going to live long enough to say "I do"?

My Review:
This was an adorable read! I've really enjoyed this series, and this latest book is dealing with a lot, with their upcoming wedding, but also dealing with the coup that they're planning. It was such a blast to read, and I'm so excited for book 4!

The whole plot with overthrowing Queen Tilaine, yeah, that's a pretty big stressor, and when you factor in that their wedding is part of the plan, yeah, thats two really big, life-changing events, bundled into one. I'm glad that they checked in with one another, seeing how they were doing. Of course things don't go to plan, and I really enjoyed seeing where the story went! 

Because on top of that, Kianthe's parents come to the wedding-with the guy that they want her to marry, her childhood best friend, which is complicated enough. But even thought it was hard, I'm glad that they had that more internal conflict, of talking with her parents, that was really sweet to read. 

With the way that things ended with that epilogue, well, the synopsis of book 4 mentions what happens, so I'm really excited to see how that's all going to play out, espcailly given that it's the last book in the series, which is going to be too bad, because I've really come to love this world and these characters, but they deserve a more quiet life. 

I loved reading this book and I can't wait to continue on with the series!
