#yelena zaltana

[oh2e]

Loving something with essentially no fandom is so isolating…I want to rave about how much the short story about Commander Ambrose made me feel but alas it’s just me, one artist I love who drew Yelena in 2015 and my best friend who read no further than book 1.

Poison Study headcannon that the north of Ixia is a frozen tundra like Russia and they speak Russian there. It’s Valek’s native language so he calls Yelena endearments in Russian before she knows what they mean.

And of course it would be dorogaya. Like Roma from These Violent Delights. Cause the way it’s said in the audio book… swoon

And also Valek with a accent *immaculate*

Yelena: Go to bed.

Valek: I don’t like this game.

First three books read of 2022

- Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder

- Sea Glass by Maria V Snyder

- Spy Glass by Maria V Snyder

Together they make the Glass Trilogy, set in the middle of the two trilogies that make up the Chronicles of Ixia. I loved getting to further explore characters that were introduced in the first Study trilogy, and can't wait to see them pop up again in the second Study trilogy and see how they're going

What is your favourite love confession and why is it, “But you’ve slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart”?

[anarchofairy]

you know i’m right

[wealllovesoulfinder]

Janco: I sleep with a sword under my pillow

Onora: weak, I sleep with a knife

Maren: I sleep in the armory

Yelena: you're all pathetic

Ari: what do you sleep with then?

Yelena: with Valek

[otherworldly-realms]

MC: May I sit there, sir?

Ambrose: That’s my lap.

MC: Answer the question, Commander.

So, a few months ago I finished Chapters @chapters-stories Poison Study book by Maria V. Snyder an American fantasy and science fiction author best known for her Study Series. 

All I can say is that Snyder is quite possibly a genius and kudos to Chapters for collaborating with her to make the book a reality. Poison Study was such a breath of fresh air from their usual storyline ranging from billionaires to bad-boys to helpless main characters/ damsels in distress that make me feel like a tool when I play. 

Poison Study was everything I never thought I needed and I’m absolutely feral that I didn’t know of it sooner or the fact that Chapters have not or will never continue the series in their line of books. I cannot for the life of me, fathom why, but that alone is a big loss. :(

I can’t name one thing I hate from the book. And perhaps I just have to buy them all to read and even though that thought gives me just enough satisfaction, and as much as I’d like to say nothing beats flipping the pages of a good book, the feeling of actually choosing your own choices in said book are much more satisfactory. 

Maria V. Snyder deserves better and so do I because hello? Valek? Ambrose? Ari? Janco? Why take them away from me? WHy? must i send out a formal request, chapters? pls just satisfy my needs during quarantine

If you fancy, here are the links to play Poison Study on Chapters: Interactive Stories.

I just reread Poison Study by Maria V Snyder and I desperately want to write fanfic of Yelena and Valek. I’m so sad the fandom is so small the books are soooo good.
