Reader Review: If you're on the fence about reading Magic Study, you're delight in this sequel will be basically measured upon how much you enjoyed the first book of the series, Poison Study. I loved Yelena and Valek (and the supporting characters) and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. As there are several reviews already posted that have good summaries I'll just skip forward to the things I liked and didn't like. The book is very well written and flows easily. The antagonists inspire a great deal of hatred and you feel for the characters and want them to succeed (nothing is worse than reading a book when you couldn't care less!). I was slightly disappointed with a few things - primarily concerning Leif, Yelena's brother. I just felt as though something could have been drawn further out of his character. I kind of wish that he realized how much he loved and missed his sister rather than "coming to terms" with her new existence in his life. He totally disappeared for nearly the last quarter or so of the book. I understand the underlying meaning of his absence, but I wish that we were reminded on him on occasion. To me, Leif was a huge (if not the hugest) part of Yelena's identity and the reader just forgets about him for awhile. Also, I wish Yelena and Valek would talk a little more, rather than just falling into each other's arms naked. These scenes are never explicit, but the reader only really sees the sexual side of their relationship when they're together. All in all, this is an excellent second book to the series. Snyder is fast becoming one of my sought-after authors. So, if you liked Poison Study, check out this book.
With her greatest enemy dead, and on her way to be reunited with the family she'd been stolen from long ago, Yelena should be pleased. But though she has gained her freedom, she can't help feeling isolated in Sitia. Her Ixian background has changed her in many ways—and her newfound friends and relatives don't think it's for the better….
Despite the turmoil, she's eager to start her magic training—especially as she's been given one year to harness her power or be put to death. But her plans take a radical turn when she becomes involved with a plot to reclaim Ixia's throne for a lost prince—and gets entangled in powerful rivalries with her fellow magicians.
If that wasn't bad enough, it appears her brother would love to see her dead. Luckily, Yelena has some old friends to help her with all her new enemies….

MAGIC STUDY
"We're here," Irys said.
I looked around. The surrounding jungle bulged with life. Overgrown green bushes blocked our path, vines hung from the tree canopy, and the constant chatter and trill of jungle birds beat at my ears. Small furry creatures, who had been following us through the jungle, peeked at us from their hiding spots behind huge leaves.
"Where?" I asked, glancing at the three other girls. They shrugged in unison, equally confused. In the thick humid air, their thin cotton dresses were soaked in sweat. My own black pants and white shirt clung to my clammy skin. We were tired from lugging our heavy backpacks along snake-thin jungle paths, and itchy from hosting unnameable insects on our skins.
"The Zaltana homestead," Irys said. "Quite possibly your home." I surveyed the lush greenery and saw nothing that resembled a settlement. During the course of our travels south, whenever Irys had declared that we had arrived, we were usually in the midst of a small town or village, with houses made of wood, stone or brick, hemmed in by fields and farms.
The brightly dressed inhabitants would welcome us, feed us and, amid a cacophony of voices and spicy aromas, listen to our story. Then certain families would be summoned with great haste. In a whirlwind of excitement and babble, one of the children in our party, who had lived in the orphanage in the north, would be reunited with a family they hadn't known existed.
As a result, our group had grown ever smaller as we'd traveled farther into the southern land of Sitia. Soon, we had left the cold northern air far behind, and were now cooking in the steamy warmth of the jungle with no sign of a town in sight.

Magic Study, the continuation of the adventures of Yelena and Valek, has it all, without being a clone of it's predecessor, Poison Study. New scenery, a new kingdom to learn, new challenges for our hero and heroine. Fascinating new characters, new possibilities, completely different cultures, new and growing abilities. Beautifully written, you learn with the heroine, you feel more a participant, less a spectator.
Great Addition
