Have any of you read this series of books? If not, I highly recommend them. I have finished Poison Study and Magic Study and am currently reading Fire Study. My friend told me to read Poison Study and it took me a while to start it because it didn't really seem that interesting to me, but once I did, I couldn't put the dang thing down. Seriously guys, if you want to read a GREAT fantasy, consider Poison Study. Here's a synopsis:

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace--and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.

And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison. As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear....
