PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Old crafts are falling by the wayside in theenchanting fantasy world of O'Neill's second graphic novel, following PrincessPrincess Ever After. Part goblin, part human, Greta, a girl with brown skin andsquat horns, is learning her mother's trade of blacksmithing, even though swordsaren't used for much anymore. After rescuing a tiny tea dragon that has gottenlost at the market, Greta starts learning how to care for these creatures, whosehorns sprout leaves that are harvested for tea. O'Neill sets her story over fourchapters, one for each season, gradually expanding Greta's world and herunderstanding of it. Colored in a palette of warm greens, pinks, oranges, andblues, her delicately drawn panels hum with a subtle romantic energy,particularly when Greta learns the backstory between the two remaining membersof the Tea Dragon Society, a goatlike creature named Hesekiel and his strapping,wheelchair-using partner, Erik. (There's also a whiff of burgeoning romancebetween Greta and Minette, a girl with unreliable memories who is also learningto care for the dragons.) A quiet, charming story of nurturing friendships andtraditions.
