Life in Sitia is far more exciting than life in Ixia, and a lot of it has to do with magic. Yelena continues to come into her powers, yes powers, as she keeps discovering new abilities day by day. We learn about the many different magical skills that exist, the types of students that are accepted into the school in order to hone their abilities, and the types of magic that exist outside of the school. If you read Poison Study, you may remember the word Soulfinder being brought up. We finally figure out what exactly a Soulfinder is, and why they are both prized and revered for their skills , while at the same time causing unease and fear amongst magicians.
So many, what I will call juicy, things happen as the story progresses and reaches its end. There is even more deception than there was in Poison Study, as was to be expected, since Yelena was headed into an unfamiliar country, despite it being the country of her birth. Reunions occur, certain relationships begin to mend, and other relationships fall apart as they are just starting to take shape, albeit with a great amount of hesitation.
If you like intrigue and mystery and waiting to discover answers to questions over the course of several books, I would suggest this series. Next, I will be reading Fire Study, which I believe is the last in the trilogy. Three additional books follow later on, which I will probably read as well considering how much I am enjoying the series right now.
