Hey Everyone!
Today I'm posting my thoughts about Chapters 1-8 of POISON STUDY! I re-read this while series every year and I seems I discover new things or things I didn't think about each time! I was also very happy to be able to read chapter 1 from Valek's POV! I got to host that stop during the blog tour if you haven't read it go HERE! Also Maria is posting chapter notes on her POISON STUDY 10 Year Anniversary events page and I have been reading them after each chapter I finish. Go HERE to read Maria's notes!
One of the things I never thought of was Valek's awareness of Yelena. I honestly thought he was surprised when he met her but man knowing that he knew who she was beforehand it changes things for my re-read. Also knowing that when Yelena's magic first appears that Maria had no idea where it was going to lead was also quite interesting I had no idea she was a pantser! But what I love the most is just revisiting my favorite place and people.
I'm going to keep this fairly short since I could ramble on for days about this book but here's some things I was thinking while re-reading these first 8 chapters. I love Yelena's strength and resourcefulness, she's truly one of the first badass MC's I ever read! She doesn't need someone to rescue her and I think that's awesome. Valek is sexy as hell and scary as hell at the same thime I think that;s what drew me to him and why he's my #1 All time Book Boyfriend. And I alwys forget how much I miss Ari and Janco and how much they make me laugh these 2 would be my best friends IRL! Also I knew when I met the commander that there was something unusual about him but now knowing what it is I can definitely see the "little things".
What I really want to know is your thoughts! Are you new to the series or is this a re-read for you as well. Please leave your links to your posts in my comments section. I promise I will read and comment on every post!
Make sure to stop by our other hosts posts too to see their thoughts!

Love your rambling post. I had no idea about some of the things you mentioned in your post. Am now going to read Valek's POV chapter. Can't wait to rediscover some of the characters. I'd totally forgotten about Ari and Janco but I recall adoring them both!
ReplyDeleteBut yes the author's writing always seemed to be so well-thought-out. Love to hear she's a pantser!
