breerashel 's review for:

Poison Princess by Kresley Cole
4.0

I loved so many things about this book! I thought that the use of tarot cards corresponding with human counterparts that have certain strengths and weaknesses was clever and very well done. I have never seen this done in a book before so it was a fresh and exciting concept for me to sink my teeth into. I thought that the author did a great job of having visions/drawings correspond with things so as to make the reader almost believe that characters were crazy.

The world building had good bones to it but I would have liked for more information than just for the author to describe a few things about some of the results of the ancient prophesy. Other than some lack of detail, that was easy to come to terms with the only other issue that I had with the book was the main character. I found her stubborn and naive. I realize that she is trying to cope with a truckload of crap but I would like to think that she would have more common sense than she did. She grows as the book progresses to the point where she isn't as whiny or annoying. This leads me to believe that the sequel will be better due to continued character growth!
