Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

 









5 Star

Yelena is prepared to die for the murder she committed.  It didn’t matter if it was justified or not, she is still a murder.  She is next for the noose when the Commander of Ixia is in need of a new food taster.  The rule of the country is the position must be offered to the next to die.  Yelena figures it’s worth it to stay alive.  With this new position she risks assassination by anyone who wants her dead as well as the commander.  With all the secrets she carries she’s not sure if she made the right decision or if it would have been better to take the noose.

This story was amazing.  I loved seeing the relationship change and grow between Yelena and Valek.  As well as her relationships with Ari and Janco.  It was interesting that it is considered a romance, but the romance doesn’t really happen until the very end.  Finding out about all of Yelena’s secrets was a journey I enjoyed reading.  The world building in the book was spot on.  It was interesting and complex.  I am looking forward to seeing how the next book turns out.
