Wow, Poison Princess blew me away. Despite Kresley Cole's popularity I didn't see her as a standout author until now. 
 The Poison Princess was a really unique story with a lot of effort spent on world building and creative features. It was a joy to read something that captured my imagination so successfully. However the book didn't end there, Kresley also added great characters that had strong personalities. 
 I hope I never dismiss a book by Kresley Cole again. The The Arcana Chronicles showcased her talents really successfully.
