Description

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered a reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace, and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust, and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison. As Yelena tries to escape her dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and she develops magical powers she can't control. Her life’s at stake again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren’t so clear!

My rating: 2 of 5 stars Just bought the book from half.com for 1.05 {plus 3.49 s/h}..This is first time Ive used half...so hopefully it'll work out okay {factoring in Hurricane Sandy with this order}... Since I've ♥'d books that Ari has read, I ordered this one...Hopefully I will like this one too..and at least I get good deals on the books I have to buy now {used to get my books at the library}...So, if I dont like them, I wont be TOO upset lol... Edit: 11/9/12 Finally got the book today..Hopefully I will be able to start on it soon.... Yet another Edit: 11/18/2012 I started the book last night actually and only on Chapter 3. It's a bit of a slow read, but so far, a whole heck of a lot better than that last read I had Stargazer...I wont even get into that...This is about Poison Study..And hopefully I will like it more than I expect to. I guess we will all see... :o) This is the Cover I have , now, don't get me wrong...I like it and its very nice Pretty. but I don't love it like I do the other cover I came across and loved...Even though it had little to do with the book, its still nice beautiful: Sigh.... ________ Final Thoughts 11/26/2012 The only reason this book didn't get a 2 was because it wasn't a horrible book. For me personally, it was just too detailed about too many things. It could have been at least 80-100 pages shorter for me. Most times, all I need is just enough for my imagination to get a glimpse of whats going on around the scene at that moment... It had many good moments..but not enough for it to be a 4 or 5...but wasnt bad enough to deserve a 1 or 2.... I don't see myself going on to book 2. This would be something that I would watch but not read again.... I gave this book a chance because I am trying different genres under the YA Fiction. And I am willing to try other areas in contemporary and adult reading... I notice a lot of people liked or loved this book...And it's good that they did...but for me...I hope my next book makes me dive in and not want to come up for air.... I havent enjoyed any books the way I really would have liked to (with the exception of one) So, hopefully my next pick will have me not wanting to come out until I've finished that last word! The next book I was going to go on to..I probably won't...Because I have struggled with it before... So, off to my next reading adventure... :-)

I thought this first series by Snyder was really addictive, great heroine, imaginative world and fun characters (Valek is pretty sexy!) The spin off series isn't particularly good but Poison Study, Magic Study and Fire Study had me and my mum hooked.

I've read Poison Study and Magic Study, and am in the middle of Fire Study. I've really enjoyed them.

Have just started Poison Study and am really enjoying it. I have found it easy to get into and it's got a nice amount of background in the book which I sometimes find lacking in other american authors books.
