The sequel to Poison Study, Magic Study takes us south to Sitia, the country where Yelena was born, a member of the Zaltana clan, she was tragically kidnapped at the age of six. Yelena, and the other stolen children that were recovered from General Brazells castle, travel through the eleven territories with Irys, who helps to reunite the children with their families. As you can guess, we do get to meet Yelena’s family, but not all of them are elated to see her.
There are heaps of new characters that are introduced in the first half of the book. Where I left off, an annual event was on the brink of occurring in which I expect will mean the addition of many more new characters. We also get to meet the three other Master Magicians, of which Irys is the Fourth Magician. And, there is a character that was hinted at in the first book that I am guessing will have a considerable influence on the course of the story as it continues. I am eager to finish the second half of this book so that I can move onto the third.
I don’t want to give too much away for anyone who is considering reading the story. But, if anyone wants to know more, or if anyone wants my opinion regarding if the series is worth picking up, leave me a comment.
