tynga 's review for:
Poison Princess
by Kresley Cole
So, I've received this book for review as an advanced readers copy YEARS ago. And I gave up after 1/3 of the book, mostly because even though I don't mind teenager protagonists, I don't relate to high school drama anymore and it totally put me off.
I LOVE Kresley Cole though, particularly her adult series, and after seeing how much love this series was getting, I decided to give it a second try and WOW was it worth it. I actually read the entire series in just under two weeks and now I'm left pinning, waiting for the last book to be published.
Once we get to the post apocalypse part of the novel, it gets really engaging and even though bagmen (some kind of mutated humans turned zombies) make a good part of this novel, we start to discover a very enticing lore. It is truly original!
Being French Canadian the bits of Cajun French bothered me because the translation felt terrible, but maybe it's truly the way their culture influenced the language? It wasn't as bad to the following novels, thankfully.
All in all, as I grown adult, the first part with all its teenage drama wasn't my cup of tea but is meaningful to the story as it molded Jack's personality. Once past that, I was fully hooked. The final book in the series, From the Grave, should release in a few months, so it's a good moment to read the series and be ready for the grand finale.
