![]() ![]() ![]() Originally I was also not a fan of the abrupt scenes that ended mid-chapter, and by the time I hit 50 pages, I was certain I wouldn’t like this book. Her POV is awkward at first, but it eventually smooths out as we come to understand Selene better. The story is told from Selene’s POV, which is a somewhat dry and straightforward perspective. I had a rough entry into this book because it took some getting used to Prince’s storytelling cadence. He is a cruel patient that refuses her ministrations, but Selene is determined to treat him and secretly find a cure for the unknown poison her mother created. But it will be no easy task going up against a young, callous king who begins to shun the world and hide his paralysis. ![]() With the kingdom unaware of who dealt the devastating blow, Selene must take up her mantle as the royal healer and undo the damage she has caused. No one knows it was Selene who administered the poison or that her mother concocted the scheme, but her mother flees into the night anyway. The king has been poisoned at the hand of his royal healers. I admit I am humbled and delighted by how original this story was. Prince said, “To hell with your preconceived notions!” and decided to write a lovely story about the relationship between a healer and her king. I had the formula mapped out in my head and was convinced I knew how everything would play out. After reading the back cover of To Poison a King, I thought I had a good idea of where this story would go. ![]()
