Cozy Fantasy

 A Pirate's Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne 

I don't think I was in the right headspace for this book because it took me forever to get into it. That's unfortunate because I really enjoyed book 1 and had high hopes for book 2. But, I was just struggling. Once I got out of that funk, it was great and I breezed right through. We join Kat and Rain as they are looking for the dragon eggs. They meet Bobbie, a constable, who is chasing Serina, a pirate.  But, it's complicated because Bobbie and Serina love each other and are mad at the same time. Bobbie gets fired and reluctantly becomes a pirate. Kat and Rain help them get back together. They meed the legendary Pirate Dreggs, he not only helps them break into a vault but also gives Kat and Rain a signed copy of his book! The break in is problematic because Rain gets hit with alchemical magic and by saving her Kat actually makes her worse. But, they find 2 of the missing dragon eggs and arrest the Dairn who was hiding them and stealing from his people. Kat meets with the dragons and they remove the binding from her since she managed to find 2 eggs and was able to tell them where the remaining egg was last seen. I normally love cozy fantasy and should have enjoyed this more. It had action and adventure but was not exceptionally high stakes. I will be continuing the series, and I hope I am more able to enjoy it.
