A review by bookbrig
The League of Lady Poisoners by Lisa Perrin

informative medium-paced

3.0

This is a gorgeous physical book, with a lovely, gleaming cover and really engaging illustrations all throughout. I also loved the author's photo, which felt very in line with the book's art. But it reads a bit dry for my taste, though I did learn quite a bit and enjoyed some of the wry observations and humor in the text. I think I was hoping for something more like Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath, and this felt a little more... newspaper-esque? Anyway, not my favorite, but I don't regret reading it. It worked well as a bedtime book because each woman's story is a relatively bite-sized read.
