Poison Bridget Zinn Books

Poison is, in a word, adorable! Sure that title is kind of nefarious, and the blurb is all about murder, but really, it's super duper cute. I mean, there is a little pink pig on the cover! That is the definition of adorable! Kyra is a great potioner (someone who makes magical potions) and best friends with her kingdom's princess. At least she was until Kyra tried to murder her. Now she's on the run while trying to get a second chance at taking the princess out. Why is she so set at killing her once best friend? You'll just have to read and find out, because it's not revealed until a ways into the book. Anyway. On her way to kill the princess, Kyra collects an adorable piggy named Rosie and a super hot traveler named Fred. Together they get into much trouble, have lots of fun, and save a Kingdom from evil! There's also much adorable antics. Adorable.

I really liked Poison! It was so much fun (and yes, adorable!) and I couldn't stop smiling while I was reading, even when bad things were happening. It's just a generally happy book despite being about a girl trying to poison her royal BFF. It's also super funny without trying to be super funny! And there's magic! Witches are a very real thing in this world, and not all are good. Kyra and Fred have a run in with one who might have been a bit off her rocker. There's also evil! Of course, there's a terrible villain who's responsible for the bad things in the kingdom and Kyra must stop him using her collection of potions. Not exactly the most original plot, but there's plenty of surprises along the way. And it's fun. And adorable. But I may have already mentioned that.

Honestly, I can't think of much to say about Poison. I just really really liked it and if I had a physical copy I'd probably give it a big hug. I love books like this, that are just light hearted and...fun. Plus I love animal sidekicks! Kyra has Rosie who is a pig with much personality, and Fred has his doggie who befriends Rosie and much adorableness ensues! Poison is just a feel good book. It's very short, so the plot moves along quickly, but I didn't want it to end! I'm sad that there won't be more.

Poison Bridget Zinn Books Reviews

This review originally appeared on My Life is a Notebook https//adkwriter15.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/thesis-thursdays-review-poison-by-bridget-zinn/

When I realized that I was doing female assassins for my thesis, I bought this one basically without thinking about it. I’d wanted it for a while, and it seemed PERFECT. This synopsis looked A+ on par, everything I wanted, going to be the best thing ever. While I don’t regret buying the paperback … I was wrong.

In concept, this book was everything I could have wanted. There was an engaging plot line, strong female friendships, hilarious anti-trope situations and action. It had all the right parts, and Zinn’s storytelling ability is the most hilarious fun I’ve had in a while. The sass is beautiful and I was honestly laughing out loud as the book progressed. When the book started out, I never expected in a million years to have a final rating of two stars.

But then the romance happens and the book forgets that it has any of those other parts that made it so amazing.

Kyra is a really amazing character. Let me make that clear. She knows what she wants, is passionate and good at her job, but also isn’t afraid to make the hard choices for what she thinks is the greater good. This girl tries to kill her best friend. KILL HER. She’s fearless to the point of pigheadedness (pun intended) and determined to save the day at whatever cost.

So why is so much of this book lost to romance?

It’s not even really good romance, I’m going to be honest. It’s one of those cliche, “guy shows up and he’s kind of funny and she likes him but she tries to get rid of him but he keeps showing back up” and yadda yadda yadda. From there the cliches–which it seemed at first this book was actively fighting against–just kept piling up. I don’t want to spoil anything, but let me tell you … by the time the ending rolled around, I wanted to hit myself in the head with the book over and over.

I still can’t even comprehend how such a short book technically had all the components it promised and still had this much romance. It boggles my mind. The story line about her ex-boyfriend? Priceless. Her strong friendship with her best friend who she’s trying to kill? Amazing. The inner turmoil you find that she’s facing? Well done. But, because of the romance, these plot points got shrunk so much that it feels as though they’re barely there.

I wanted to like this book, I really did. In terms of my thesis, this book will actually work out really well for me but as a reader … I am sad. It was a amusing ride and a well written one, but all the promise that it showed stalled and floundered. Hence, two stars.
I read about this book shortly before it came out--and the tragedy of the author dying before it was released. As a librarian and avid reader, Zinn knows middle graders well (older elementary and middle school--but high schoolers will read this, too)--the story has a delightful mix of fantasy, friendship turned rivalry (or is it?), light romance--and a pig! I just wish Zinn had been given the chance to write more stories. You can still read her tweets on Twitter (always positive), see her video as "The World's Fastest Librarian" on YouTube, and visit her website. I wish the book was still in print so that I didn't have to go to resellers, but I'm glad I was able to get 2 unread copies for my school's library.
