Magic Study starts where Poison Study left off; Yelena returns to her homeland, Sitia, to meet her family and to study the art of magic with the Fourth Magician Irys. I think this series just keeps getting better and better. A whole new culture is introduced with different ways of living and different customs. We find out more about where Yelena really came from as she tries to discover her own identity. Magic Study introduces new characters such as Leif. Yelena's brother who is somewhat unhappy about Yelena's return to Sitia. I loved the introduction of all the new characters especially Yelena's parents who's relationship had me giggling at times with their playful banter. Old characters also return, though sometimes not in the way you'd expect. Ari and Janco provide a lot of comic relief in dire situations and Valek, as always, plays an amazing supporting character to Yelena. The plot line is very intriguing. Yelena has to deal with being a student of a high-ranking magician, petty gossip and her love-life....oh and also a serial killer preying on young girls such as herself. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, the second book in the Study series really does have it all!

Excellent conclusion to the triology.

Couldn't put this book down and can't wait to read the next one!

this book is every bit good as the first one in the series (posion study). It is very capivating and full of suspense. i will definately read it again.

Really good follow up from the first book, it was over too quickly :)
