3 posts | 4 read
After breaking a "curse" on the imperial heirs, a palace servant with training in herbal medicine is promoted up the ranks to food taster...and right into the thick of palace intrigue in this lushly illustrated period mystery series! Maomao, a young woman trained in the art of herbal medicine, is forced to work as a lowly servant in the inner palace. Though she yearns for life outside its perfumed halls, she isn't long for a life of drudgery! Using her wits to break a "curse" afflicting the imperial heirs, Maomao attracts the attentions of the handsome eunuch Jinshi and is promoted to attendant food taster. But Jinshi has other plans for the erstwhile apothecary, and soon Maomao is back to brewing potions and...solving mysteries?!

I started The Apothecary Diaries last week, and I'm currently on vol. 2... LOVE IT. These are a few others I nabbed from the library as well. Will probably spend a good chunk of my day tomorrow reading them.
A not pictured shout out to, SHADOWS HOUSE by Somato because that started getting Really good in volume 4, and I'm also watching the anime.. however, I'm reading the series illegally on the internet, so shhhhhhh 🤫

This light novel is a little different from the manga version. Get a little more character storyline. Either way light novel or manga this series is fun. The FMC is sassy, smart and very clever. And quite rhe mystery solver to boot. This was my March #bookspin book read. @TheAromaofBooks

Uh oh someone is targeting the consorts of the emperor and one lady in waiting is the taster and detective who can sense poison. Really good storyline and I really enjoy the characters.
