The Winner's Crime / Marie Rutkoski


4.5/5

OMFG LIVED UP TO ALL MY EXPECTATIONS AND MORE.
LOVE THE FIRST, LOVE THE SECOND, WILL LOVE THE THIRD. READ THIS.

Ok but real review: Rutkoski continues her story. She doesn't lose momentum or her reader's interest. What attracted me in her first book were Kestrel and Arin's intelligence, competence, and complete development, and none of that is lost in the second book. Rather, it's proved further. I love that they're BOTH smart, and BOTH competent, and both developed so thoroughly. Their emotions are real and well-explained, and therefore extremely relatable so I felt connected with the characters. There were times when Rutkoski gets a little too carried away with the metaphors, but I love it. Very interesting. This series is pretty much up there with Maas's Throne of Glass.
