Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

2.0

It was just very...transparent. I knew everything that would happen before it happened. And I'm not sure I like Yelena? I think maybe it's just me, but I don't like the 'strong warrior woman' thing. Or maybe it's just that everything just came too easily to her. I don't know. I did love Valek but he didn't get enough time, or we just never really got to look into his mind it seemed. I dunno. Maybe the writing just isn't for me. I have the second book, as I found it cheap second hand and thought I'd like this one but I'm not going to bother. It's just not that interesting a world or characters or writing. It was also darker and grittier than I like.
