A review by becadreads
The Study of Poisons by Maria V. Snyder

fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.5

It's SO good to go back into this world from Valek's point of view and watch him fall hard for Yelena. I didn't realize the book was self published and you can tell but my love for the world and nostalgia kept me reading it. You have to remember it's a companion novel to Poison Study so you miss a lot of details and world building in this one. My 4.5 stars come from a place of heavy bias since I love Maria Snyder. 

But if you love the Chronicles of Ixia, this is such a treat.
