Sentenced to hang, Yelena is given the option to hang or be the Commanders food taster. What a choice. I don't really know why I picked this book up as the premise just doesn't grab your attention at all and this is not something I would normally read. I have to think that it was recommended on GRs.

I only made it through 200 pages of this book before I gave up. I found it incredibly boring. I couldn't find anything to draw me into the story. The supporting characters are all spiteful, mean and vindictive except the cook who is friendly but secretive. The hero (if he is the hero) is an asshole and there is nothing likable about the heroine. As a series beginner, it's a terrible start. I certainly won't be reading any further.
