A review by justjeanettelee
The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
3.0
"You don't, Kestrel, even though the god of lies loves you." (Oooh I see what the author did there)
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I came to this predominately through recommendations and reading reviews. However, I'm only mildly disappointed. It was an interesting tale, with a good story, above par world building and character development, and beautiful writing, but "The Winner's Curse" wasn't all that I thought it would be.
Many have said that the trilogy gets better, and I'm giving that a chance. I'll continue on with the series, in the hopes that Kestrel becomes the badass strategist and character Rutkoski has set her up to be.
