Not capturing me as much as the first book did, the first half of the book was rather slow but changed drastically after. The plot became fast paced and tense with political schemes and wonderous magic battles. Also more Valek. Which is important. Can't wait to see where this series is leading.
Still like it, still think the love story could be explored a bit more. But the plot is great. Very unique magic system
I liked Magic Study better than Poison Study, but Magic Study is still as mediocre as its predecessor. The story itself is quite nice, as is the political intrigue, but the writing style is quite bland and while the character relationships are a little livelier than in the first book, there's still not much more chemistry than before, especially in the romance.
This second book is as good as the first one.
