After hearing so many raving reviews about this book and the series itself, I decided to finally cave; picking up the book from my bookshelf, where it has resided for quite a few years. Though I knew vaguely what the premise of Poison Study was, I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, let alone...
*Book source ~ Purchased from Audible Yelena has been in the dungeon a very long time waiting to be hung for committing murder. It doesn’t matter that she was defending herself, the Commander of Ixia’s law is clear: there is no excuse for killing. However, when her time comes she is instead taken ...
Well somebody sneezed. Not reblurbing because I really don't want to remember this book again.This was a very strange reading experience for me. It ticks a lot of the things I like in fantasy but at the same time they are the very things that made this such a chore to finish. I've set myself to fini...
Choose: A quick death…Or slow poison… About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief ...
I could have sworn I read this book already, but I quite obviously didn't. I thought this was a different book. Now that we've gotten that all figured out (except for the part where I know the title of the book I thought this was), let's move on, shall we? I loved this. Not like fangirling all ove...
I did enjoy this--mildly. But to me it feels like a routine YA paranormal romance. Yelena is likeable, and her dilemma certainly original. Sentenced to hang, she gets a reprieve--but there's a catch. She must become a food-taster for the Commander. She's given a poison for which she'll daily receive...
Sometimes you've just got to take a chance. A leap of faith into the wild unknown. I'm not a massive risk taker. I like to play it safe, so when the urge to do something spontaneous occurs I like to keep things low key. Like, trying a new flavour of ice-cream, or wearing patterned leggings. My adven...
Summary: Locked in a coffin-like darkness, there is nothing to distract me from my memories of killing Reyad. He deserved to die—but according to the law, so do I. Here in Ixia, the punishment for murder is death. And now I wait for the hangman's noose. But the same law that condemns me may also sav...
I was really looking forward to reading this book for a variety of reasons. One of those was that some normally sane/calm reviewers that I both follow and respect went completely fangirl over it. Another is that I needed a break from the paranormal genres I usually read. It started out pretty strong...
