Synopsis:
Choose: A quick death…Or slow poison...
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...

Everyone seemed to love it but me.
The only thing I liked was Janco and Ari. That is it. The reason for that extra star.
Everything else was just
For some reason unknown to me Yelena irritated the hell out of me
Everyone wants to kill her
She's super special<<<<< how original
So maybe it was just me...ooor it could have been everyone else. :) Probably everyone else. I'm awesome :P

I don't think this is a series I will be continuing. I'm not sure if it gets better so I'm not willing to chance it. Do any of you guys know? If you do let me know :)
