For me, this one wasn't as good as the first. I fell in love with the characters and the story in The Winner's Curse. In The Winner's Crime, I was looking forward to more character development, but more importantly more political intrigue, planning, and deception. I feel like many aspects of this were lacking in this installment. And that is not to say this was a bad sequel, it was an amazing one. For me however, it just did not live up to the high expectations I had.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT OMG HOW IS THE THIRD BOOK GONNA END?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GONNA HAPPEN??? OH GOD OH GODDDDDDD
