Although I don\u2019t generally \u201cdo\u201d the whole Twitter thing, I technically have an account through which I [supposedly] follow a few people.\u00a0 One of those people is the amazing John Green and, because I actually read one of my Twitter digests last month, I read this Tweet [12\/03\/10 – Tweet is no longer available).\u00a0\u00a0 Though I hadn\u2019t previously heard about this book, I trusted John Green to know what he was talking about and requested a copy from another library in my system.\u00a0 I absolutely loved it, so I made sure to order a copy for my library AND bumped this book to the top of my \u201cto review\u201d list.\u00a0 FYI, in case you were not aware, I am way better at reading books than following through with reviews, so my \u201cto review\u201d list contains no fewer than 5 books at any given time and often has books that I finished months ago!<\/p>\n
You may be wondering, \u201cWhat was so great about Poison<\/em>?\u201d\u00a0 How about the fact that it had action, adventure, humor, magic, romance, AND strong female characters all rolled up into a unique fantasy story?\u00a0 Kyra, a potions master, used to be best friends with the princess.\u00a0 Until, that is, she tried to kill her.\u00a0 Since no one seemed to understand that trying to kill the princess was a good thing, she had to run away to avoid being jailed\/hanged for the attempted assassination.\u00a0 And, while being the infamous \u201cPrincess Killer\u201d made it rather difficult for Kyra to travel through the kingdom unnoticed, her bag of potions and the help of a cute little enchanted pig was enough to give her hope that she could find the princess and finish the job before it was too late\u2026<\/p>\n The only thing I didn\u2019t like about this story, to be honest, was learning that there won\u2019t be a prequel or a sequel [since the author passed away before this book was even published].\u00a0 I wish I could learn more about Kyra, but I guess it\u2019s better to have loved and lost [a character] than never to have loved at all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although I don\u2019t generally \u201cdo\u201d the whole Twitter thing, I technically have an account through which I [supposedly] follow a few people.\u00a0 One of those people is the amazing John Green and, because I actually read one of my Twitter digests last month, I read this Tweet [12\/03\/10 – Tweet is no longer available).\u00a0\u00a0 Though … Continue reading Poison by Bridget Zinn<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,8,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts","category-books-for-young-adults","category-fiction","category-reviewed-by-chrissie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1884"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4654,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1884\/revisions\/4654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
