Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

5.0

I usually don't like reviewing with too many spoilers, but this book calls for it.

The first thing to talk about is the prologue. Holy reel a person in! Then comes the backtracking and the "get to know your MC" part--which as others have mentioned was a bit longer than what I had hoped, but after finishing the book, I see it was meant to set up Evie's future. To show what she came from and move you along with her as she reaches her fate.

Some have mentioned their dislike for the fact that a good portion of the initial "AF" was nothing more than glossed over. I, on the other the hand, was grateful that was the route taken by Kresley Cole. I didn't want to read about the boring, tedious "let's get set up with supplies and mourn a bit" time. I just wanted to get back to the prologue! I found myself comparing the days, counting down to when we'd get back to Arthur again.

The AF read was exciting and had me going crazy--right along with the MC. When the last page came, I was so frustrated knowing that it will awhile before I can read the next in the series, I think a few choice words were uttered. This book was great at a 4.5, but it's setting me up for wanting nothing less than a 5 for the sequel!
