The Winner's Kiss

I have loved every bit of this series from the start. Marie Rutkoski has woven a tale so mesmerizing and captivating that I could not put this book down once I picked it up.

Kestrel made me hold me breath at every turn. You could feel the anguish, the hurt and the wicked intelligence in her and it made me anticipate her every move. She is one of my favorite main characters. This series has grown a lot from the very light feel of the first book and it has picked up pace, and with it, grabs your feelings and takes them for a pretty brutal spin. Honestly, I was afraid someone I loved dearly was going to die in every battle scene. The writing was both heart wrenching and left me with dread at the same time.

This was an amazing finale. Kestrel, Arin, Roshar. They all show you how you can put away your anger, your vengeance, for something better.
