Publisher's Summary
Fierce, determined, dangerous. No wonder her soul called to his.
As Chief of Security of Ixia, Valek has spent the last 15 years keeping Commander Ambrose and his citizens safe. With his complex network of spies, informers, and soldiers, it’s his job to hunt down and capture criminals, including the intriguing Yelena.
Sensing there is more to the story of why she killed a general’s son, Valek arranges for Yelena to become the Commander’s new food taster, training her in the delicate art of detecting poisons. As mysteries and a devious plot to harm the Commander unravel, Yelena’s presence becomes crucial. Will her intelligence, stubbornness, and survivor instincts be a help to Valek’s investigation, or a hinderance?
A companion novel to Poison Study, The Study of Poisons reveals Valek’s side of the story. Return to the world of Ixia and discover just how the lovely Yelena got Valek’s cold heart pumping!

Loved it!
It was achingly good to be back in this world again, and even better to get inside Valek's head this time. The narrator took a little getting used to, he gave the characters more flare than the humour I picked up from them reading the books myself but by the end I enjoyed it

Really good story
Loved it and if the powers that be decided to create an audible version of Poison Study I'd buy it in a heartbeat

The perfect mirrored story
Exceeded high expectations, the wait since first reading Poison Study 10+ years ago well worth it.

I loved this book. Maria is an amazing writer, and the narrators did a good job of my favourite characters.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who have read or listened to Poison study.

Maria V Snyder never lets us down
Another amazing book by Maria V Snyder. The narrators voice didn’t match what I had in my head for Valek, but I got used to it quickly. It was narrated well

Thoroughly Enjoyable
I think this story will appeal equally to fans of the existing series, and new readers alike. It doesn’t assume any prior knowledge, and makes for an enjoyable listen.
It has been several years since I read poison study, so my memories were a little vague.. reading Valeks perspective was a nice way to rediscover the world of ixia.
The narration is a little over dramatic for my taste, but this is a minor quibble, I would happily listen to more stories from these characters!

Loved it
I really enjoyed getting to hear Valek’s story as I absolutely loved Poison Study (it’s one of my all time favourites) and Maria definitely didn’t disappoint.
Narration was great too.

Finally!!! Pure Joy!!
I have been waiting for this rendition of the story of Yelena and Valek’s complex and beautiful relationship since I was 14!
This story gives fans of poison study everything you could have asked for and is presented by a strong and emotive voice.
The only downslide is how the voice artist sounded a little bit overly delicate and breathy when narrating Yelena’s spoken lines, but that is common in deep male voices and did not take away from the joy of listening to this story.
Thank you Maria V Snyder for bringing Valek to life and giving his character true depth and presence. And also filling in those moments when Yelena was straining to understand or comprehend what he was thinking or feeling.
Highly recommended! I’m off to listen to The Study Of Magic next!
