The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
3.0
The Winner's Curse is the first book of the YA fantasy series with historical novel vibes.
The book is classic YA, with many tropes and twists that could be found in nearly all the young adult books of that period. And yet, the story is interesting, thrilling, and and suspenseful, even making one want to read more. The romance was angsty enough to keep things thrilling to the very end, which was an open one, giving room for the story to unfold properly in the second book. Actually, the whole book kind of felt like it was setting the pieces down for the rest of the series.
So, three out of five stars for this one; not a very deep book but an adictive read nevertheless.
