I loved The Winner's Curse more than I thought I would! I especially enjoyed the tension and angst between Kestrel and Arin.
The writing was very straight forward which made it a quick and easy read! However, I feel like the characters lacked depth because of this. I hope we explore them a bit more in the following books! Can't wait to read them!

people died when when arin told kestrel  “i will let every single valorian in this city die if it means that you don’t.” cities were burned when arin told kestrel “don’t you dare weep for him. if he weren’t dead, i would kill him myself.” the world collapsed when arin told kestrel “i could kill him a thousand times and still want to do it again.”
