Why read it?

1 author picked Poison as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is one of my earliest inspirations, and Iā€™ve never met anyone else whoā€™s even heard of it.

Poison is the very first book that made me think, ā€œWow. I want to be able to write something like this.ā€ I loved the story, but what Iā€™ll never forget is how the ending made me feel. This book is both simple and complex; a wild, unpredictable journey and a natural progression of events.

I write with the hopes of someday completing something as lovely as this.

From Jackary's list on overlooked YA fantasy.
