This book has an excellent start. The first 80% of the book features layers and layers of mystery. It begins with - as the product summary discloses - the questions of why the MC killed her former overseer's son and whether she understands that she is using magic. These mysteries are soon expanded on (mild spoilers): Why was her former overseer trying to create magicians? Will she be able to master her magic power before someone kills her for it? Will she tell the her new boss/mentor/love interest (who is also the ruler's spymaster) the truth about what her former overseer is doing? These mysteries, in turn, gain more layers: What is the role of the foreign magicians? Is the spymaster a villain or a hero? Why is her former overseer sending exotic candy to the ruler?Each of these questions draws the reader in and keeps the reader engaged. Each answer is incomplete and deepens the mystery. It's a great read.Then, suddenly, in the last few chapters the book, the author answers everything - neatly, conveniently, and unexcitingly. Major spoilers: the MC confesses everything to her mentor. He believes and accepts everything without qualm. The foreign magicians go from possible assassins to friends and helpers. The purpose of the candy is disclosed. The former overseer is brought to justice. Some friends are injured but they all heal. The ruler rewards the MC for her loyalty. The MC and her mentor declare their love for each other. The end. It's like a YA book. (Or like the author realized that she couldn't complete this book in the required length without hurrying things along.)It's quite disappointing and ruined any interest I had in the sequel. Sadly, "Poison Study" didn't work for me and I never became as invested as I had hoped to be. In my opinion, the bulk of the issues originated with the writing. I think I could have connected with the story more had the writing been more engaging, but this style/execution prevented that from happening. The dialogue fluctuated between sounding "old fashioned" and modern. The prose was choppy at times and the descriptions were often lengthy and boring. The "twists" weren't surprising as the information was obvious long before Yelena's "discovery" of it.World BuildingThe first thing I noticed was there wasn't a map included. While I realize that's not necessarily a sign of a weak world building, it did make it hard for me to picture how these military districts and other lands were set up. Instead of a visual map, the descriptions of the world were awkwardly forced into the text which slowed or stopped the story in order to provide these details. Throughout the book, there was some evidence of creativity and thought, but then there were also things like a place named "Castletown" or military districts which were identified as "MD" with a number. I really struggled to immerse myself in this world and story as I had a hard time figuring how everything was supposed to look. Despite all of the descriptions given, I couldn't picture the people or locations. I think this was largely a result of the muddled combination of a traditional medieval fantasy world (castles, swords, etc.) and a modern setting (leotards, sequins, etc.). I suppose it's possible to blend these two into something more cohesive, but here it didn't work and just felt messy.CharactersThe characters were okay, but many came across as one-dimensional and I never felt a strong emotional connection with any of them. I really struggled to care about these characters and their story from the start and the further I read, the more I realized that my lack of connection wasn't improving. There was far too much telling and not even showing. At the end, I did come to appreciate Yelena and Valek and their relationship. To me, the way they supported each other and demonstrated respect was such a highlight of the book. I also liked how their relationship developed gradually and how they didn't give up their own personal goals simply to remain together.All complaints aside, I will admit that there was some improvement during the last 25% which increased my interest in the story. Overall it wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me. While reading "Poison Study", I was frequently reminded of "Air Awakens" (which I also didn't care for). However, if you like that book/series, you may end up enjoying this one.
