The startling sequel to Poison Study this novel continue the story of Yelena, a young food taster. Although she's not the food taster for the Commander of Ixia anymore. In fact she's not even in Ixia. Yelena's been taken to Sitia where she is reunited with her family and where she discovers a chain of murders.
This book is extremely interesting. The novel will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you long for the third book (Fire Study). Luckily you won't have to wait for long. Fire Study is comnig out in March.
Daughter of the Forest is a superb retelling of Celtic folklore. Juliet Marillier is an awesome storyteller whose words will immerse you into the book. Once you start it, you will have to finish it. It's just that good.
