A review by kerrypolka
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

adventurous emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

EXTREMELY 90s romance/fantasy/mystery, some weird gender stuff, protagonist Not Like Other Girls and Somehow Compellingly Beautiful Despite Unwashed/Poor, none of the worldbuilding/politics makes ANY sense if you think about it for more than 0.5 seconds, obviously whipped through it in a weekend
