The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious slow-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

The Poisons We Drink reminds me of Blood Debts with social and political targeting of naturally gifted people that possess magic and wanting to register to control them.  The quest for power is strong throughout this entire book.  Book was also packed full of magic that was thoroughly explained.  And how it was used and recoil was definitely unique.  Although the rhyming of the spells was cheesy.  Also there were tons of characters.  I kinda got lost in who was who at times and their connections.  I really liked the sisterly bond between Venus and Janus.  Something to admire that even though they bicker, they still have each other back.  Overall, a nice witchy read. #netgalleyarc
