This is one of the best fantasy series I've ever read. I listened to the first one (Poison Study) on audiobook but read Magic Study in print and enjoyed it even more. I just love Maria V Snyder's characters, especially the relationship between Yelena and Valek. I really appreciate how strong Yelena is as the lead female character and her relationship with Valek only makes her stronger. I'm a sucker for heroic badasses who hide their hearts of gold behind a thick layer of sarcasm so I absolutely can't get enough of Valek.
