Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Pheonix

Yelena is the next prisoner to be executed. All braced for her hanging, she was sent before Valek, the chief of security, who gives her an offer to live, the current food taster- chosen to taste the commanders food to ensure it's not poisoned- has died recently and by law, the position is to be offered to the next prisoner awaiting execution. Yelna must choose either a quick death in the noose or a slow painful poison.

Yelena takes the postion as the food taster. But it's not always safe in the walls of the former king's castle, danger lurks in every corner and Yelena must face her past as well as what there is to come.

Poison study is a birllinet and well-thought out novel. It has everything a fantasy novel should have an impressive world, great characters, battles, magic, and a hint of romance.

I Really enjoyed reading about Yelena, I could barly put the book down. Even after I finished I kept reading it over and over again. I really liked the characters escpeically Janco and Ari.
