An interesting concept & decent execution, but it was pretty slow to start. And the ending felt really rushed & messy, with clear evidence that Poisons was originally supposed to be a duology. Though out of the author’s hands, having to reorganize the book into a standalone didn’t do the story any favours, and I got pretty lost in the last 5 or so chapters.
