Poison Study And Magic Study, Books by Maria V. Snyder

[Elizabeth123]

Maria Snyder is an amazing author. She had me captured in from cover to cover in her books, never wanting to put them down. Her characters are realistic with flaws while the setting and plot are fantasical. Both Poison Study and Magic Study are filled with action and excitement. With every turn of the page new magic is revealed. Maria Snyder is a captivating author. You wont want to miss these books nor will you want to miss out on the excitement of her upcoming novel Fire Study.
I higly recommend her books.

Poison Study is an addicting novel featuring magic, food-tasting, love and of course poison.
Yelena is about to be executed for murder when she is offered a reprieve but at a price. The commander needs a new food-taster and she can either choose death or the risk of assassination by anyone who wants the Commander dead. Yelena chooses to become the Commander's new food taster.
But the chief of security deliberately gives her Butterfly's Dust and to live Yelena has to show up daily for her antidote or suffer an agonising death from this poison.
Snyder does a fantastic job of getting the reader to associate with Yelena in her struggle to live. She does it so well that the reader is addicted right from the start and you'll end up reading the entire book in one night.
The next book in the series is Magic Study which is twice as good and twice as addicting as Poison Study.
The third in the series is Fire Study which is set to come out in March and i'm annoyingly excited to read the next great novel by Maria V. Snyder.
