(Note: I received an ARC of Poison from the publisher for possible review on my blog.)If you're looking for something that's pure fun to read, look no further. Poison is filled with whimsical humor, a touch of suspense, and sweet fairy tale romance. It's completely appropriate for readers of all ages, from tween to adult.Kyra is a spirited heroine, as she skulks around the countryside, evading her pursuers and picking up new human and animal companions as she goes. She seems completely unrepentant about the fact that she's on the run for attempting to assassinate her best friend, Princess Arianna. It was a lot of fun to try to figure out exactly what was going on and what Kyra was really up to. Was she really a murderer? There were a couple twists and and ending that will put a smile on your face. Poison has a lot of elements that will appeal to fans of fairy tales and light fantasy: magical potions, scheming royals, disguises, and even adorable animals. I'd recommend it to fans of books like Ella Enchanted and movies like Shrek.Read other YA reviews on my blog, YA Romantics
