I loved this  book. I generally don't enjoy books where climate change (especially the human-created aspect of it) is a major theme, but Master of Poisons manages to inspire hope without diminishing the scale of the problem. Not to mention, I adore the characters, and the prose was gorgeous! The way characters grew and changed (or didn't) felt deeply realistic. This is a book I'm going to be thinking about for a long time.
