The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
4.0

This book was harder for me than the other two in the series. I would almost give it a 3.5 Stars if I could.

It’s not that I didn’t like it but there was just so much war and that is just not my favorite subject. I don’t mind the war being a part of the story but it felt drawn out to me and I didn’t fly through this book like I did with the other two.

I did really enjoy the development of Kestrel and Arin’s relationship and loved that we got to see more of Roshar.

The ending was quite satisfying even if there were a few things that weren’t quite wrapped up with as much detail as I would have liked.

Recommend: 16 and up; lots of war, death, descriptive battle scenes, etc; b/b relationship; there is finally a sex scene but it is delicately written; lots of interesting scheming/strategizing; interesting topics on mercy and forgiveness; also as darIng escape!
