Ever since being kidnapped from the Illiais Jungle as a child, Yelena Zaltana's has been fraught with peril. But the recent loss of her Soulfinding abilities has endangered her more than ever before. As she desperately searches for a way to reclaim her magic, her enemies are closing in, and neither Ixia nor Sitia are safe for her anymore. Especially since the growing discord between the two countries and the possibility of a war threatens everything Yelena holds dear.
Valek is determined to protect Yelena, but he's quickly running out of options. The Commander suspects that his loyalties are divided, and he's been keeping secrets from Valek...secrets that put him, Yelena and all their friends in terrible danger. As they uncover the various layers of the Commander's mysterious plans, they realize it's far more sinister that they could have ever imagined.
My Thoughts :
I am a huge fan of Maria V. Snyder and was extremely happy to have Yelena and Valek return in the Soulfinder books. Their story was far from being over and it is getting more and more complicated and interesting with each book. I say complicated because I find it hard to keep up with everything and remember what happen in the previous books. I could really do with a 'Previously on...' section at the beginning ;)
Despite my ability to remember all the details, I enjoyed this new installment as much as the others. There are, as always, some challenging developments and interesting twists. The plot is always captivating and the world the author has built to house her characters is always a pleasure to visit.
I can't wait for more from the series. There are so many possibilities and outcomes for all involved and I am interested to see what the author has in store for them all. Especially as the characters develop and grow. Oh and we are not only talking personal growth here. The amount of characters keeps growing too with some very surprising additions this time around.
Well worth checking out if you like Fantasy and magical elements. This is a Game of Thrones on a smaller scale and no dragons. A very well thought out world with so many wonderful aspects to be in awe of.

I read Poison Study many years ago, and did not like it all that much. So I never read the rest of the series. Perhaps someday... Glad you enjoy it still Amber.
