Shadow Study
by Maria V. Snyder
I am so glad Maria V. Snyder decided to write another book!!
Reading this made me realize how good the previous three books actually where. I think I was too young and inexperienced when I read them, and I couldn't truly appreaciate how good Snyder is at writing fantasy. Poison study was one of the first fantasy books I read, and now after having read a fair bit of others I realize she does it so much better.
This book had no boring moments, and I think this rarely ever happens for me. Especially when it's fantasy. However, I don't think I can say much more about the plot.
I still love Yelena and Valek and their relationship. They work so well together and I really enjoy the dynamics between them. I also enjoy that they are so much older than the regular YA characters. I don't remember, or now if it's even stated, how old they actually are. But I am guessing in their mid-twenties or something like that. So I felt like this is closer to my own age and life situation, and I really enjoyed that (which for sure is a sign that I should get into NA soon...).
Lastly I have to gosh about the "twist" at the end! Aaaaaaaaaaw! That was exactly what I needed. I can't wait to read the next book. However with caution, because if it takes a bad turn I will go into deep depression. You hear that, Maria! Nobody is dying and nobody is getting hurt!
