The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

4.0

3.5 stars

Everything about this book is beautiful. The writing and the spectacularly weaved characters are what drew me in the first place. Even though the first book is more character driven with less political intrigue, I still found myself wanting to finish the series. The first 50% of the book doesn't have much else other than the "slow burn" romance between Arin and Kestral. And the last half has the political drama I was promised.

Despite of being a little slow, I enjoyed this a lot. And also the plot redeems itself in the next books, so i do recommend.
