The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
5.0

This book has some of the best characters interactions in young adult fantasy. All the words given back and forth between the characters have so much meaning behind them. There's always double meanings of what is being said.
Kestrel and Arin forever and always. These two have gone through so much together and those last hundred pages showed what they really meant to each other. Perfect YA couple.
I do have to say though that whole didn't seem completely finished. What's going to the queen, Kestrel's father, and the country of Valoria??? I need answers not just some faded ending.

Now that's how you end a series. I love this trilogy, I can probably say it's one of my favorites. The first book is a little slow but after that, there's a whole new world in book two.

I didn't know how I was going to handle my emotions while reading this one after finishing Crime a few months ago because the ending in that was... *sobbing & shuttering*.

I won't spoil anything because everybody needs to read this trilogy and enjoy its wonderful awesome sauce. Bravo Rutkoski!!!
