Did this book REALLY deserve 5 stars? Based purely on this book alone and writing style, maybe not? But add in the anticipation that it wholeheartedly delivered on, the adorable cute scenes throughout, and the chance to peek inside my favorite love interest's head and how could I give it less?
I strongly suggest reading Poison Study first. The two books are very tightly woven and A Study of Poisons is clearly the companion. The pacing and details are much clearer in the original book from Yelena's point of view. That said, if you finish Poison Study and are craving more of our favorite Ixians, this book delivers everything you could ask for.
The story was adorable, it answered every curiosity I'd had after finishing Poison Study, and filled in some blanks I hadn't even realized bothered me the first time through this adventure.
A Study of Poisons does a fantastic job of rounding out some loveable side characters and introduces us to new ones. It left me wanting to reread Poison Study (again for the 3rd time in 2 years) and excited for the remaining Study books I haven't yet gotten my hands on.
I can't wait to reread this book and catch all the well-thought-out details you're likely to miss on a first read. I definitely made connections this time around that I didn't before, which always adds extra delight.
