Every line in The Winner's Curse is beautifully written. The story
is masterfully plotted. The characters' dilemmas fascinated me and
tore at my heart. This book gave me a rare and special reading
experience: I never knew what was going to happen next. I loved it.
I want more.
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', Kristin Cashore, NEW YORK TIMES
bestselling author of the Graceling Realm books*
Like any epic page-turner worth its salt, Rutkoski’s richly
imagined world is full of dynamic repartee, gruesome battle scenes,
and shifting alliances. A high-stakes cliffhanger will leave
readers eagerly awaiting the next book
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', Publishers Weekly, starred
review*
Rich characterisation, exquisite world building and rock-solid
storytelling make this a fantasy of unusual intelligence and depth
... Breathtaking, tragic and true
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', Kirkus, starred review*
A forbidden romance. The romance is heartstoppingly lovely and
admittedly steamy ... but the raising of stakes and the reluctance
of the couple to give up their respective causes, even as they
confess their love for each other, lends their relationship a
complexity not often seen in the genre ... A last-minute compromise
between the lovers secures a sequel, and fans of Kristin Cashore
and Robin Lefevers will be pleased to have a new romance to
follow
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', BCCB, starred review*
Faultlessly written, home to a rich cast of mesmerising characters,
and possesses just the right amount of intrigue, romance and
emotion to make the story one that leaves an impression. My mind is
still reeling from those final few pages
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', Realm of Fiction*
Rich with detail, tension, and true feeling — and that goes for
both the plot, and the characters. Everything about it is just
incredible
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', There Were Books Involved*
Full of high society balls, lies and deceit, stolen moments in
secret places, as well as being absolutely beautifully written, The
Winner’s Curse is a brilliant first book in a new trilogy that
everyone should read!
*Praise for 'The Winner's Curse', Swept Away by Books*
The hype is right – The Winner's Curse is a beautiful,
heartbreaking must-read
