On one hand, 👏 to Maria V. Snyder for having a book still be in print and being available in mainstream bookstores, 20 years after it was first published…
But on the other hand…. Wtf have they done to the cover?

pickNing would do anything for her sister. Including pretending to be their late mother's actual apprentice and attending the shennong trials in the capital. If she wins she will not only be the official court Sheenong-shi; but will be granted a favor from the imperial princess herself.
This book is so beautifully written. So full of plot, intrigue, and the power of love.
@Laughterhp Mikala! Thank you so much! I love everything. The journal and fall bookmarks will be put to immediate use. I am over the moon about the books you chose for me. I woke up to a bit of rain yesterday so the cozy socks are perfect and all my favorite treats. All of it is perfect.
Thank you for hosting @Avanders @Chrissyreadit I look forward to this swap every year. It never disappoints. 🧡🍁🧡
so-soThere's a lot of fascinating discussion of how toxins work on a chemical level, BUT, big caveat, it's also a *lot* about Whiteman's father's addictions and death. Whiteman is really mainly interested in addictions here, giving little space to other natural toxins, because he has a need to figure out why his family are prone to addiction.
It's also a bit... erratic, jumping between topics a lot.
Dude, if I wanted to read an autobiography, I'd buy one. Please, less about your father's addiction... 🙄

I‘m hanging out in New York, New York this week. I‘m enjoying diving into the science behind many of the forensic techniques we accept as standard practice today.
Thanks for the tag @KadaGul
so-soThe discrepancy between how important Saffron's financial independence and career are to her and how much time she actually spends at her job and on her plants was quite large and rather irritating. Also, it felt like there wasn't much of a conclusion to this one. The pacing was good and the relationships were more interesting.
pickThe main character seemed slightly less impetuous in this one. It was still quite unrealistic to the time period.
pickLight pick. This was a fun, cozy mystery set in the 1920s. It is not true to the societal norms of the time. It was interesting.
