This is the sequel to Poison Study, and even better than the first. I loved this one! Maybe I have a thing for stories involving schools for magic, but add that to a well-realized setting with a crazed killer on the loose and it's hard not to just sit back and enjoy! And I literally did just that, because once I got into this I didn't put it down again until I'd read all the way through. Great fun for fantasy lovers, and without a doubt the best Luna book I've ever read!



Since it isn't listed above with the book details, here's the basic plot description:

With her greatest enemy dead, and on her way to be reunited with the family she'd been stolen from long ago, Yelena should be pleased. But though she has gained her freedom, she can't help feeling isolated in Sitia. Her Ixian background has changed her in many ways, and her newfound friends and relatives don't think it's for the better.

Despite the turmoil, she's eager to start her magic training, especially as she's been given one year to harness her power or be put to death. But her plans take a radical turn when she becomes involved with a plot to reclaim Ixia's throne for a lost prince, and gets entangled in powerful rivalries with her fellow magicians.

If that wasn't bad enough, it appears her brother would love to see her dead. Luckily, Yelena has some old friends to help her with all her new enemies.
