Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Poison Study is the first book in the Chronicles of Ixia.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – Near Perfect, easily one of my all-time favourites.

Yelena is on deathrow when Valek comes to her with an offer that’s almost too good to believe: She can be spared, but only if she agrees to risk her life by tasting the Commander of Ixia’s for poison. To ensure that she…

2015 reading wrap up || books #9-12

Insomnia interrupted my reading this month... 

9. Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat - ★★★☆☆ - REVIEW - Exciting! Definitely not what I anticipated. I presumed this would merely be a M/M romance, but what I got out of it was a complex relationship, an exciting plot and a lot of political intrigue. Amongst this, I also liked the homonormativity that existed within this world.

10. Poison Study by Marie V. Snyder -★★★★☆ - This was a reread for me and it was as awesome as it was the first time!!! 

11. Collide by J.R. Lenk - ★★★☆☆ - REVIEW - Definitely enjoyed this more than I predicted. I really liked the coming of age and lgbt+ aspects of this book. 

12. Wolf Bride by Elizabeth Moss - ★★★★☆ - REVIEW - It’s been a while since I’ve read this so I urge you to read my review! <3333

"Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you. " Valek's warm breath in my ear sent a shiver down my spine. "But you've slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart." "That sounds more like a poison than a person," was all I could say. His confession had both shocked and thrilled me. "Exactly," Valek replied. "You have poisoned me." He rolled me over to face him. Before I could make another sound, he kissed me.

Valek and Yelena

Review

An author whose previous series I have loved and this one promises to be a gripping and as brilliant as her others! I love Snyder's writing; her characters, her plot, her dialogue, and relationships are fantastic. I have fallen in love with a whole new set of characters and I don't want to let them go. The book is excellent; the story and the fantasy world are gripping, and the characters and their interactions (between friends, and between good and bad) really make the book; filled with humour, adventure, and I decent dose of danger you really root for the characters and fear for their lives. You believe in them and I want to read more about them. If you're a fan of Kristen Cashore I would definitely recommend this book, as well as Snyder's other  completed series (which includes the Poison Study trilogy).

I keep seeing posts for wanting Tom Hiddleston as Valek in a movie adaptation of Poison Study.

Okay, I love Tom Hiddleston.

But he's not built like Valek, he looks nothing like how Valek is described.

What is with this craze of wanting Tom Hiddleston for everything?

Some amazing quotes that i found today when searching some up for my room. (I want quotes all over my walls...) "But it seems there is more than one way to posion a persons hearts, and it doesn't require a meal." -Valek from Maria V Snyders Posion Study "In Dreams, we enter a world that's enirely our own." -Albus Dumbledore from JK Rowlings Harry Potters (Not sure which one) "You're mad, bonkers, off your head! But i'll tell you a secret: All the best people are." Lewis Caroles Alice in Wonderland or the Tim Burton one that pwns ass! "It's Funny how humans can wrap their mind around things and fit them into there version or reality." Percy Jackson and the Olympians , it was spoken by a god, but I just don't remember which one and sadly the website wouldn't tell me either. If you fine out..wanna tell me? "Sleep? Whats that? A new type of Casserole?" Trella from Maria V Snyders Inside Out "Seiges Weathered, Fight Together, Friends Forever." Janco's gift to Yelena on her switch blade. D'awwww!!
