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 keep mounting. 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 would not buy it as a present...

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
While the concept behind the book was acceptable, it didn't fully capture my interest as I had hoped. I found myself lacking the intrigue and motivation to continue reading, which was slightly disappointing. However, the characters of Janco and Ari were very likable and stood out to me. They were well-developed and had their unique personalities that kept me invested in their story. I do believe that with more experience, the author could enhance their writing style and perhaps add more depth to the plot. There were instances where I felt the storyline was lacking, and a little more detail could have elevated the book's overall impact. Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort the author put into crafting the characters, and I would be interested in reading more of their work in the future to see how they improve and grow as a writer.
