Review:
Myth: 4/5
Bri’s story picks right back up where we left off in This Poison Heart, getting you right into the thick of the story and right into highest stakes and fantastical explanations that Bri and Mo may or may not be ready for. Bri is like no YA heroine I’ve ever read. She’s a kid, but she’s so level headed, she’s been raised well, she thinks through her emotions, she expresses them rationally, she’s one of the most mature characters, even though she’s really the only kid in the ensemble.
Magic: 4.5/5
If book one gave us a build up to a greek mythology backstory, book two re-imagined so many. With guest appearances from greek gods, generations of greek mythology lore and more than a dash of Bri’s plant magic, this book was a powerhouse.
Overall: 4/5
Bri is the kind of YA heroine that makes a fantastic role model. A story focused on family, generations of burden and those willing to see it through to the end.
“How far are you willing to go for the people you love, Briseis?”
