I just read both books from my library. Loved them. Fun adventure and the love story gave me goosebumps (and that doesn’t happen much). Can’t wait for the 3rd book

I love these books! I happened across Poison Study at the library, and was delighted to find that there was a sequel. I read and enjoyed both books very much and am definitely looking forward to the third!

Fantasy is my favorite category to read. So, when Magic Study came up as the N.E. Arlington book for July, I was very excited.
Both models (on the cover) were very attactive and that helps, but the setting, clothes and feel was modern. I gave both books a 9-10 my highest rating for a novel. Character devolopment was excellent, each book was its own story. (unlike some fantasies that had a good first book then continued for 12 more boring books and still havn’t ended, Wheel of time series). I find that I really enjoy Maria V’s writing style. I am comfortable with the world that she has created and really hope that many more books follow. I am so looking forward to the next one in March 08.

Dear Jane, Thank you for the detailed review of my novel, Magic Study. You obviously spent a good deal of time reading and analyzing the work and the effort is appreciated.

As for the cover model - Diana is right; the original model returned home to Russia and the publisher was left scrambling for a new model. In response to that - the publisher has redesigned the cover art for all three books. You can see the new covers on my website in the “Books and Excerpts” page.

I hope the third book delivers for you - Yelena’s story is “wrapped up” and I am pleased with the results, although I’m not pleased to have to wait until March 08 to see it on the shelves. But release dates as well as cover art is completely out of my hands.

All the best,
Maria V.

I could not tell the difference between the two models until Maria mentioned to me that the previous cover model had left the country. I doubt most people would notice.

The girl also looks like she’s 15 years old. Not at all like the woman on the cover of the first book. Or is this not supposed to be Yelena? I’m confused, oh blogging partner.
