I’ve heard about this book around the blogging world and BookTubers and I’m pretty happy I picked this book up. The plot of this book was so interesting and I really liked how this book was written. The characters in this book were just great and the world development was very well developed. I am really excited for the next book and if you have read this book and enjoyed it, you would too.

I'm so glad I finally read this. Kestrel is a truly amazing and outstanding main character. She is strong, but in such a different way than you normally see in fantasy books. She's cunning and clever, not necessarily physically strong. The love story was also something I enjoyed immensely. I saw why it happened and I really liked them together.

I bought 'The Winner's Curse' last year and it's been sitting on my shelf for a long time because I've been apprehensive about reading it. The premise seemed promising but could easily result in a lacking story if not executed well. And I was so pleasantly surprised when the book delivered.

2.5 Kestrel and Arin are the most maddening characters I've read in a while! I don't even care if that's the wrong word to use there. I wanted to strangle them both. That aside the world building was done well. Even though I read this quickly, it felt like it just dragged on for me and I disliked the slavery aspect so much like I get that it's the point of the entire novel, trilogy blah but I just was so uncomfortable and disgusted by the whole thing. I was just like okay what's the point?! I di
