mikaelawithak 's review for:

The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia

3.5

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

I did enjoy this book overall but felt the last third moved too fast and focused more on shock value than where the characters originally organically would have gotten. Loved the first 2/3 of the story and hoping the sequel will bring back those elements
