Krystyn V. (vkrystyn) - reviewed on 7/6/2013

I loved this book! It is the beginning of a series of trilogies by Maria V. Snyder that has such a unique take on magic. As the series progresses, I have come to love her descriptions of this world and its people.

The first book, however, centers on the military-ship of Ixia and the Commander's new food taster, Yelena. It was very easy to relate to Yelena, because though she had been through such pain and torture (literally) she was always planning and devising ways to stay alive. I admire her constant vigilance.

This book is great introduction into this world and just the tip of the iceberg of the obstacles Yelena will eventually face. Five stars :)
