waiting on wednesday: the winner's kiss

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted over at Breaking the Spine!

This week's pick: The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy #3) by Marie Rutkoski

(spoilers for the first two!!!!)

War has begun. Arin is in the thick of it with untrustworthy new allies and the empire as his enemy. Though he has convinced himself that he no longer loves Kestrel, Arin hasn’t forgotten her, or how she became exactly the kind of person he has always despised. She cared more for the empire than she did for the lives of innocent people—and certainly more than she did for him.

At least, that’s what he thinks.

In the frozen north, Kestrel is a prisoner in a brutal work camp. As she searches desperately for a way to escape, she wishes Arin could know what she sacrificed for him. She wishes she could make the empire pay for what they’ve done to her.

But no one gets what they want just by wishing.

As the war intensifies, both Kestrel and Arin discover that the world is changing. The East is pitted against the West, and they are caught in between. With so much to lose, can anybody really win?

I really love this trilogy, and though I'm going to be sad to see it come to an end, I absolutely cannot wait to see how it ends. I honestly don't have any guesses, because there were so many twists and frustratingly bad character decisions in the second book. I just really have hope for a reconciliation between our main characters, but I don't see how it's going to unfold! Can't wait to see though :) 

what are you waiting on this week?

  7. Okay so don't shoot me but I haven't read these yet. I have the first one and plan to get the second to read them to be ready. I figured with the final book coming out waiting until they were all out meant I wouldn't have to wait :)
