21 June 2023: This was so much fun!! I loved spending time in this world again after so long.
Hahahaha Valek is a HUGE S I M P.
I love him. I thought he was ancient when I read Poison Study back in 2010... now I am closer to his age than I am to how old I was in 2010 lmao.
It was great seeing Yelena being an absolute queen right from the start from Valeks POV.
Ahhh I love these characters.
I hope there are more of these books coming because now I want to read the entire series again from only Valeks POV.

I love this world, but this book doesn’t stand on its own. At many points, the story goes by very fast, and unless you read Poison Study, you wouldn’t understand what is happening.
