![]() The world of Ixia felt similar to basically every other fantasy world I’ve seen drawn out, including ones friends and I wrote up in highschool. Nothing made it stand-out to me, and it felt very predictable. It’s just what I would call average YA fantasy. Poison Study was foisted upon me by well-meaning friends. I chose Acacia myself because its reviews intrigued me. There’s a big difference in how they wound up on my pile though. I still came at it with hope, though, since I did like one fantasy book I read this year ( Acacia). “I know you don’t like fantasy, but!” and also “I know you don’t like YA, but!” oh and “I know you don’t like romance in YA, but!” A reader knows her own taste. I have got to stop letting people convince me to pick up books using the phrase, “I know you don’t like but!” That is how this book wound up on my tbr pile. Now that she has admittance to the inner circle of the military state, she quickly comes to see that not everything is quite as it seems….not even her own personal history or her heart. ![]() Being a smart person, Yelena chooses the former. Become the Commander’s food taster and face possible death by poison every day or be hanged as planned. ![]() Yelena is on death row for killing a man in the military state of Ixia but on the day of her execution she faces a choice. ![]()
