The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski
5.0
Thank you Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
It took me FAR too long to pick this book up and when I finally did I read it in just a few days. It is an amazing fantasy story with a beautiful f/f love story at it's root that I loved so much.
I've never read The Winner's Trilogy and was a little worried that I would find it difficult to understand the world without having read it, but the world building was brilliant and I had no problems following the story and being immersed in the world. I definitely think I need to read The Winner's Trilogy now and learn even more about it!
Nirrim is a great protagonist, she's not had the best life but she is incredibly selfless and would do anything to help others, even to the point of sacrificing her own happiness and needs. I loved getting to see her grow throughout the story and allow herself to have the things that she wants.
The relationship was beautiful to see unfold throughout the story. I loved their flirting and jokes, their trust in one another and the way they helped each other out. They had a fantastic dynamic right from their first meeting and this was kept up throughout the whole book.
The cliffhanger at the end of the book was incredibly frustrating because I need to read the next book NOW.
