Poison Study is a book that I first read as a child after borrowing it off my Grandad (who was a big influence on my reading) and as soon as I picket it up this time after finding it in a charity shop, I was right back into Ixia again with my favourite characters.
The world building and storytelling is immersive and pulls me in every time. I am no longer worrying about the real world, I am living alongside Yelena in the Commander’s castle.
The concept of magic within the story is one that I enjoyed and haven’t really seen in Fantasy I have read before. It worked really well with the story and the universe created for it. The story and characters are both very compelling and I enjoyed being in their presence.
All in all, a brilliant beginning to the series and a solid foundation on which to build Yelena’s world.
