Flavor of the week:
The Winner’s Kiss
Marie Rutkoski
Series: The Winner’s Trilogy #3
Publication date: March 29th 2016
by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
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 have my hardcover of The Winner’s Kiss coming in the mail!! I’m very curious about Stone Field though!

I’m trying to stay away from everything about Winters Kiss! I loved the first book, but never read the second. At least now I can just read the two back to back, so I won’t have to deal with a horrible cliff hanger!
