So even though I had issues with the overall story and the way things were resolved in the end (just too many unanswered questions) I still enjoyed the book. Snyder is excellent at world building, and her writing is stellar. Or at least for my liking.Įven so, Maria V. Even Valek, who I love, was different in this novel. There were too many inconsistencies and plot holes, too many characters acting out of the ordinary and too many questions left unanswered. While I understand her reasons for doing so, and while I feel it was necessary to the story for Yelena to act the way she did, I couldn’t move past it. With the exception of Yelena, who changed once again into a mistrustful, fear filled character who, instead of growing and maturing as she’d done in the previous two novels, seemed to digress into what she was at the beginning of Poison Study. It was just as well written as her first two novels, but where the characters were complex and shown in shades of gray in the previous novels, they were all black and white here. But it somehow fell short of my expectations for it. In theory, this should have been an amazing book. Not to mention her trying to figure out exactly what being a “Soulfinder” means and dealing with the prejudices of all the Sitians – especially 1st Magician Roze Featherstone – have against magicians like her. But Ferde, the Soulstealer she helped capture in Magic Study, has escaped along with Cahill and before long Yelena is wrapped up in trying to uncover a plot against Ixia and the Commander, and battle some new personal demons.ones that change her, and not for the better. This book opens where the last one ended, with Yelena in Sitia trying to learn exactly what magical abilities she has. Snyder‘s first person Study series about Yelena, a young woman who has recently discovered she has magical powers and works to control them as outside forces interfere. This is the much anticipated third novel in Maria V. Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself-and save the land she holds dear. Her journey is fraught with allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty. Honor sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. As the Council debates Yelena's fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before…. Already Yelena's unusual abilities and past have set her apart. When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder-able to capture and release souls-spreads like wildfire, people grow uneasy.
