Description

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace- and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.
And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dusté 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 choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear—.

Although the writing is very clean and has zero emotions, I really enjoyed this book. The plot is engaging and you want to know what's going on. Let's see if this will hold for 8+more books though

Interesting theme and setting and I liked Yelena! The characters were interesting and the whole world and setting has a lot of potential. Valek as the love interest was something that suprised me kinda. For me the spark and tension in their relationship wasn’t really there. I would read the second book and overall this book was ok. Not sure what it is that let me cold while reading it. I had issues with the characters not being described enough. I don’t even know how old valek is. That’s leading to a lack of imagination for me. Overall a good story but with weaknesses for me.

I loved this book. The characters are ambivalent and the story is really fast-paced.

*audiobooked* I didn't know what to expect from this book but it was fantastic. Giving me vibes of Throne of Glass and The Bone Season (who are both among my favourite series) this was a fantastic story. Also I have found a new otp.
