So, if you're new to Snyder's work: Poison Study or Storm Glass. There's a part of me that still feels like this is the fifth book of a series instead of the second book in a second trilogy, but I've been told by readers who HAVEN'T read the Study series that they had no trouble with Storm Glass. If you haven't read her work, however, I suggest starting with either the first book in this trilogy, which is Storm Glass, or-because Storm Glass spoils the events that happen in the Study trilogy-go back to the beginning with Poison Study. Her style is light and smooth and easy to read, and the "modernisms" aren't quite as prominent this time around (in Storm Glass, I found them jarring). With few, if any, allies, Opal's got to find the truth no matter what it costs.My Rating Must Have: which is a big fat duh if you're already a Maria Snyder fan. She has no proof for what happened, and it's all she can do to pretend everything is all right. But things go haywire faster than she anticipated, and Opal soon finds herself under house arrest with no one who'll believe her story. The premise: Terrified of her new abilities and what the Council will do to her when she goes home, Opal seeks out to right Devlin's wrongs and find a way to put their souls in their proper bodies.
