Summary:
Book by Maria Rutkoski
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.
One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.
But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

Review:
4.5/5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. I found it surprising and intense. I am not easily shocked in books, and while it was not necessarily "shock" that I felt, I was surprised at a few points.
It was a very quick read. It left me wanting more and wondering what was going to happen next. I fell in love with the characters. Their interactions were interesting. With the idea of slave and slave master, how it changed during the book, and how they reacted was amazingly done.
My favorite part was when Arin threw the revolution and then suddenly owned Kestrel. I thought that was so well written. I am a sucker for a good revolution and having spoiled people become slaves.
I also felt that the romance was appropriate for the book. Sometimes in YA books it can be over done. There was enough action, revenge, history, and other things in this book to keep my attention.
I have bought the next two books in the series and am reading them now!
-Happy Reading
