The Winner's Curse

"This was pretty terrible. "

"This book has lived rent free in my head since I read it almost six years ago. I fell in love with it and have been chasing the high it gave me in every other book I read. Also one of the very few series I've purchased despite HATING the cover. They really did this beautiful series dirty with the covers."

"I absolutely LOVED this book! I definitely recommend "

"Although there were a lot of great recs, this book is an enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers-to-acquaintances. I am usually one to judge a book by its cover, but PLEASE don't judge this book by the cover. It's a lot better than it looks. "

"AMAZING!!! Best enimies to lovers with no spice and a thrilling plot"

"favorite book series of all time. so enchanting and such an amazing main character. 5/5"

"I loved this book and totally recommend!!! It was just so amazing I am speechless! I finished it in a day because the characters and the story capture you!!! Amazing book!!!"

Porque mientras leía se me hizo difícil entregarle mi fidelidad completa a solo un personaje en la historia. Si hubiera sido una historia simple, sin duda mi lealtad y adoración hubiera ido con Kestrel, estratega, amante de la música, la manera en cómo se maneja alrededor de todos, es un personaje que al menos yo no me encontré antes, quizá un poco Scarlet, aunque son personajes muy diferentes, me gustan muchos los detalles que la escritora incluye en ella, como lo de las manos. Y luego tenemos a Arin, wow. No solo porque sea el chico de la historia, es un personaje tan rico, tan completo, no puedo describirles exactamente cómo es que este personaje es tan especial, más allá de la parte romántica. Y hablando del romance, es algo completamente de segundo plano, lo que lo hace mil veces mejor porque sufres con la tensión de si realmente habrá algo o no con estos dos.<br/><br/>Esa vuelta del final no la entendí muy bien, nada más<br/><br/><spoiler><br/><br/>He is so: "“My soul is yours," "The god of lies loves you"<br/>Me: <img src="http://i.minus.com/iblECR1GxHI3d5.gif" /><br/><br/></spoiler><br/><br/><a href="https://twitter.com/EllieIntheHat">Twitter</a> || <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> || <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/EllaZegarra/">Pinterest</a> || <a href="http://ellie-in-the-hat.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> || <a href="http://instagram.com/ellieinthehat">Instagram</a>"

"I started this while in a book funk. I had no idea what to read. I had bought this when it first came out, it looked good, but never read it. So I decided to just read it. I had nothing to lose other than decided it wasn't time yet. Apparently, it was time. I really enjoyed this.<br/><br/>I enjoyed Kestrel and her struggle to decide what was right and wrong. Even when it came to Arin, her slave. Her impulse buy. I'm not sure where this is headed after finishing this, but I'm excited to finish the trilogy. I even bought the other two books without looking at them. I love high fantasy books and I've hit a few duds, but this is really set up well. It is well written and engaging without being too unbearable. <br/><br/>This book caused me to stay up way past my bedtime. I hope the other two cause the same problem."

"This book checked every box for me. From the characters to the rich political intrigue. Amazing work."
