Poison Study

De: Maria V. Snyder

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton

A Chronicles of Ixia Novel featuring behind-the-scenes notes from the author, exclusive to the audio edition

Choose: a quick death…or slow poison…

Locked deep in the palace dungeon for killing her abuser, Yelena knows she’ll never be free again. The laws in Ixia are strict, and murderers must be executed, no matter the reason. But just as she’s resigned herself to her fate, she’s offered an extraordinary reprieve.

As the food taster, Yelena will eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. To make matters worse, the chief of security deliberately feeds her Butterfly’s Dust, and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison.

As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters continue to mount. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can’t control. Her life is threatened again, and in order to survive, she must unravel the secrets behind the past she’s been running from.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn't have high hopes going into this - because Reading Slump is a thing.

Wow, was I pleasantly surprised!!
This was good, like GOOD.

So happy this is a series, because I will definitely continue reading the shit out of this.

It will probably be one of my favourite comfort books to return to when I need a pick-me-up.

love it!

I listened to this year's ago and have called it a favorite ever since. I listened again and loved it even more!

Savored each moment

Exquisite audio narration. The characters are rich and full. The story is flawlessly rendered and I am eager to continue the series.

Loved the audiobook!

Many, many years ago, I eyeball read this series. After audible had a huge sale, I grabbed the audiobooks for a steal - so glad that I did! I absolutely loved it in audio. The narrator was the perfect fit.

This is a fade-to-black fantasy romance. Higher on the plot than the actual romance.

Can’t wait to dive into the second book.

100% Recommended

I had red the series a couple of years back and just wanted to listen to it as a background while I am working. BUT I have never enjoyed listening to a book as much as this one. The narrator brought life to this story and added more life to the story I remembered! Loved it!
