Oh, how I adored this book! I've always found that there is a difficult and delicate balance to maintain when blending exposition with fantasy world building, and the author has done an amazing job with The Kinder Poison.
Zahru is such a believable character, graciously dealing with feeling 'stuck' in the role her natural magic has provided her by mischievously sneaking in to the biggest event in centuries at the palace. When her initial plan for the evening faulters, she finds herself in the middle of a bubbling family feud after failing to maintain a low profile to get out of the palace undiscovered.
In only the first few chapters, the author has effectively set the scene for a dramatic and enthralling adventure--the likes of which Zahru had only dreamed of having. I was hooked from the first page, begging for the ability to read faster so that we can find out what's next for our modest, whimsical, loveable main character.
Thank you for the chance to read this beautiful book! I can't wait to continue the series!
