Book Reviews of Poison Study (Study, Book 1)
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The characters were very realistically depicted and likeable. Yelena is an admirable character but not Mary Sueish. Valek is an impossible to look away from hero. Both have a very well-developed history and background that adds to the realism.
The plotline was excellent. None of the parts seemed rushed or impossible.
The romance was a perfect balance. Not too little to make it barely there and not too much to make it sappy and cliche.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in fantasy and magic.
