Yelena is sentenced to hang by the noose for killing--it doesn't matter WHY she did it. Is it a miracle she is offered the job of food taster for the Commander instead, or just a slower, more painful death in the end? Yelena's character is the extreme example of scraping yourself off the floor, making the best of your crappy situation, and finding a way to trust, love, and live again.
"I peered deeper and found my soul. A little tattered and with some holes, but there all the same. It had always been there."
Do you like Yelena? Tell me some of your favorite Y characters.

Wow Y is a hard one. Does Yoda count?
Haven't heard of this one. But I like the cover :)
I read a preview for Poison and it seems to be a good book.
Food taster - that might not be a great alternative, but anything to gain more life.
Very cool idea! I totally want to read this now!
Don't know if I like Yelena without reading the book, but I like the concept.
Food taster for a Commander might end fatally. :( Thanks for sharing about the book. Sounds good.
I've never heard of this one, but I'll have to check it out! Thanks, Ilima. :)
Ooh! Sounds like an interesting book!
