The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski

4.0

4.25 stars

rep: gay side character
cw: torture, brief mention of implied rape

honestly the first couple of times that I read this, I was annoyed by how slow it was but this time around, I found the pace to be more pleasant than before. the way things unfurl and how arin and kestrel slowly build their relationship back up was more believable and realistic to me.
