Hey there, writers!

In this minisode, Karissa/Katherine breaks down Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. This YA fantasy revolves around all the magical (and terrible) consequences when a prison is given the choice between death or life as the commander's poison taster - and chooses poison. With an original spin on some classic fantasy worldbuilding as well as some tried-and-true young adult tropes, there's plenty to analyze in this book. Join Karissa as she dives into Poison Study, offering a review of what does and doesn't work from a writer's perspective along the way!
