Commentary During Books Poison
Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart . . . misses.
Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?
Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she’s certainly no damsel-in-distress—she’s the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

I decided not to rate this one, given the difficulty I was having knowing how to choose stars. There was a lot that was very sweet and enjoyable about the book, but Zinn's death before the book was even published may have had a lot to do with the unevenness I found. Structurally, I think there was a serious problem with starting the book with the Bang! of knowing that Kyra had tried and failed to kill Princess Ariana (only daughter of the king and queen of the country). It's quite a while intoWords cannot express my love for this book. <333
Poison is a cute but rather superficial YA fantasy about Kyra, a 16 year old "potions master" (she seems a little young for master status, but whatever) who's on the run for trying to kill the princess and heir to the throne, for reasons that the author coyly hides from the reader for about half the book. While Kyra's evading arrest, she's also trying to find the princess again so she can do a better job of killing her this time--even though said princess is her best friend. And there's a
Originally reviewed on The Book SmugglersAt just sixteen years old, Kyra is one of the most powerful and celebrated figures in the kingdom - one of the Master Trio of Potioners with exceptional talent, Kyra is also the best friend of Princess Ariana, who just so happens to be the direct heir and future ruler of the land.

I am enamored with Poison. I havent felt so wonderful reading a novel in ages. Finally twists I dont see coming, adventure that swept me off my feet and a girl as stubborn and pig headed as I am. How could I not fall in love? Plus, did I mention there is a pig in this, poison throwing darts, crazy witches and royalty? I kid you not, no matter what is released later this year, this book will be my most beloved novel of 2013. Rosie Have you ever read a book that brings back that first sense of
This book...there aren't words for how much I adore this book. It's the kind of fun, whimsical fantasy that needs to be on shelves everywhere. Read this book. You really want to.
