The Study of Poisons by Maria V. Snyder

3.0

If we minus the "romance" from this book then I really liked it, but to be honest this book kinda made me start to dislike Valek which I never thought was possible. I enjoyed his interactions with the Commander; it was nice to get a sneak peek at their friendship. And of course I'll always be thrilled with extra Janco content; still one of my favourite book characters! However, Valek's internal monologue when it came to Yelena was irksome and at times creepy...so yeah, I did not enjoy this anywhere near as much as Poison Study, which I reread on the regular.
