Summary: Winning what you want may cost you everything you love...  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. 

My Thoughts . . . 

Okay so when I first started The Winners Curse I was looking for a really great book because I had just finished one of those I never want to stop reading this kind of books, so I was really hoping to read another book like that but was really sure I was gonna be disappointed (I'll be doing a review of this book shortly so stay tuned). Anyways this book was not the disappointment I was kinda expecting. 

 This book was filled with EVERYTHING I love in a book, action, romance, swoony guys, relatable female heroine, and an amazing fantasy setting. It was amazing. It had all the bits and pieces I want in a book and search for time after time, I've read a lot of books like it but it still was itself and like no other book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting an awesome book with breathe taking characters. 

 Thanks for reading!

Peter and Lara Jean from To All the Boys I've Loved before maybe. 3.  “I want so much more than this provincial life” A character destined for greater things... All of them.
