A review by jess_walkinshaw
The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

This book was quite the read. I was really excited to read this book after having a book hangover from The Throne of Glass series.
This book is about a girl who in society has a big reputation as she is the General's daughter her name is Kestrel. She has a best friend and her name is Jess and Jess has a brother who is in love with Kestrel.
In this world we dive into has been conquered by the Valorian's and the people who have been conquered are the Herrani, who are now slaves of the Vslorian people.

Kestrel is tricked in to purchasing a slave (Arin) Kestrel at first is very disgusted by the fact that shes bought a slave, but she has and eventually becomes infatuated with him. They learn he is an exquisite blacksmith, and through this book you learn a lot about Arin you wouldn't believe and Kestrel catches on to some of these things and looks to find out how he came to learn these things and after a big price is made and Kestrel has to defend Arin they both find out that they have indeed falling for one another, And near the middle of this book you find out just who both of these characters are to them selves and to each other. The end of this book leaves a big shock and left me wondering what is going to happen to these to love birds.

This book I'm not going to lie took awhile to get into, but not in the way you would think. I knew all the little details would matter after reading the first few chapters and I paid attention to them knowing they would be important later and as I read I just wanted to know what all these little things were leading up to and when it happens you know why it took so long and why all those little details mattered. It truly is a great book and I cannot wait to read the second book.
