I'm so jealous that you've already gotten Touch of Power and am relieved that you loved it- I was worried too that it might not live up to the Study series.

Snyder book and now I want to read the Poison Study series too! <br />I can't believe the sequel comes out in 2013 though--give me more Avry and Kerrick!!

The series kind of got worse with each sequel in my opinion. Kerrick could be better than Valek? I don't know if I can believe this o.O I will have to find out for myself.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842315793902005771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-14809100147016413792012-07-17T10:26:10.416-05:002012-07-17T10:26:10.416-05:00"If I look back at the book objectively, I ca..."If I look back at the book objectively, I can definitely see that. However, I read the book with the starry eyed viewpoint of someone expecting romance, so Kerrick came off as witty, protective, strong, and someone who had his own reasons to be guarded."<br /><br />This is how I see SO many of my YA book boyfriends! Logically I know that if I met someone who was dark and brooding and cocky, I'd be all "you're a bit of an a-hole", but in books they just work for me. I think you described it perfectly above:) Fictional boy beer goggles if you will. Glad you enjoyed this one Alison, I need to read some of her books!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-68168332002702204302012-07-17T10:03:11.273-05:002012-07-17T10:03:11.273-05:00I actually haven't read any of Maria Snyder...I actually haven't read any of Maria Snyder's previous novels so I don't know if I'll love Touch of Power but I keep hearing such positive things about it, especially since the setting is so well developed and I really love that in a fantasy novel! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-50782679287975200942012-07-17T09:43:17.016-05:002012-07-17T09:43:17.016-05:00This book reminds me so much of Poison Study, in t...This book reminds me so much of Poison Study, in the best way possible! At the moment I prefer Valek but we've had a trilogy and some short stories with him whereas we've only had one book with Kerrick-he has time to win my heart :)The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-73387310710086327772012-07-17T08:41:59.087-05:002012-07-17T08:41:59.087-05:00I loved the gang of brothers, but I'm not sold...I loved the gang of brothers, but I'm not sold on Kerrick yet.
