destdest 's review for:

The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford
2.5
inspiring lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A slow-paced, cozy read. I liked the friendship between Leelo and her prickly cousin Sage, but I found all of the characters dull except maybe Ketty. There was definitely tension, but it didn't feel like it. Beautiful cover tho.

The ending wrapped up nicely.
I like that even though Leelo and Jaren decided to love each other that they didn't rush straight into marriage. they're enjoying the dating process, and Leelo gets to expand her worldview.
