Book Description
YOU KNOW YOUR LIFE IS BAD WHEN YOU MISS YOUR DAYS AS A POISON TASTER. (STUDY BOOK 2)
Yelena is on her way to be reunited with the family she'd been stolen from long ago. Although she has gained her freedom, she can't help feeling isolated in Sitia. Her Ixian background has changed her in many ways, and her newfound friends and relatives don't think it's for the better. Despite the turmoil, she's eager to start her magical training. But her plans take a radical turn when she becomes involved with a plot to reclaim Ixia's throne for a lost prince, and gets entangled in powerful rivalries with her fellow magicians. If that wasn't bad enough, it appears her brother would love to see her dead. Luckily, Yelena has some old friends to help her with her new enemies.
As much as I loved the first book, Poison Study, I loved this one even more! Somehow it just clicked more with me than with the last. Ms. Snyder seems to be developing her world and characters more solidly. For some reason I found Valek a little more unnerving and frightening in this, maybe because he's not in it as much and I took off my rose-colored glasses and actually saw his role as assassin. Who knows? I did miss the 'Power Twins', Janco and Ari and wished they could have been in it more, but overall it was a great book that I could not put down. I'm so glad the next book is only a month away, as I cannot wait to get to it!
5/5 stars
