Review: Poison Study

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yelena is set to be killed for murder when she is given the choice to become the food taster. She takes it. She then trains with Valek, the Commander's valued adviser, assassin, and it seems friend, to identify different poisons and taste the food.

The story is told from the first person so it takes a while to get to know the different characters. As Yelena starts to trust Valek so does the reader. As the story progresses we get to see Yelena gain confidence while making the best of a not so good situation.

There was a little romance which developed slowly. I didn't think the age of the second main was ever given.

This was a good story and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
