Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
5.0

I finally understand why this is Maria V. Synder's best and well-known book! She is definitely a queen and a pioneer in writing fantasy novels. My first MVS book was [b:Touch of Power|10445208|Touch of Power (Healer, #1)|Maria V. Snyder|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1317629193s/10445208.jpg|15349923] and I read it a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it a lot, giving me a helpful stepping stone in reading her other books.

What I loved about this book is that it is a beautifully-written and cleverly plotted story! It has the right amount of magic, politics, and social issues that it wasn't too overwhelming and I found myself reading a big chunk of it in a short amount of time. I love the whole plotting and scheming going on with Yelena and the other characters, and there were definitely some parts that I didn't not expect at all to happen. This book didn't also focused on the romance part, which I adored. It was more on the secondary plot, but I enjoyed it also just the same.

I can't wait to read the next book! And I just read that there are novellas that I still need to read too!
