Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

5.0

I loved how original the story is. The character names are honestly beautiful and new and different. I didn't like how the romance in the book was left for the ending, that annoyed me. But it was necessary for the story-line and I didn't mind it. Until you're over half way through the book very little action happens. However towards the ending it turns to a Jason Statham movie which is freaking awesome. With magic, a different system of living (which I think is a super smart and great system), poison talk, brotherly love, action, love, death, dark memories, and a political side, this book is incredible. And personally I think breath-taking especially because of the writing which was stunningly beautiful.
