*The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan
Wed, Jun 01, 2011
The Poison Throne (the first in Celine Kieran' Moorehawke Trilogy) is a superb fantasy novel full of political intrigue and wild surprises. It is a young adult version of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, and similarly bloody, with most of the torture and maiming done off-stage, but not all.
