As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement: that she agreed to marry the crown prince in exchange for Arin's freedom. But can Kestrel trust Arin? Can she even trust herself?
Kestrel is becoming very good at deception. she's working as a spy in the court. If caught, she'll be exposed as a traitor to her country. Yet she can't help searching for a way to change her ruthless world...and she is close to uncovering a shocking secret.

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
The first book was a little better, but I'm hooked and waiting fir the next book
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.
