Sabrina Davidson: Book Review: The Winner's Curse

Hi everyone,

I recently finished The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading into my review. Another bookish thing you can check out is my TikTok @brinadancer to see all the books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video.

Hopping on into the review. I picked this one up because had finished watching Bridgerton and I wanted a book that had those kinda vibes but with a little more action. I love Bridgerton but I'm not sure how well that would translate to a book since I'm not the biggest fan of romance books. I did like the way this one started out it was a really good setup. I also love Kestrel and Arin. I almost wish they had a little bit more going on between them. At least in this book Kestrel really struggles internally with trying to make up her mind about Arin. Also, side note I want a game of bite and sting now. It sounded super fun and interesting.

I will say the first part of this book is great. I was really into it but then in the middle, I got a little bored and wanted things to go a little faster. I like things to move pretty quickly, now the last 40 pages or so picked back up the pace which I like and it made me want to read the next books to see what happens between Kestrel and Arin.

Overall I would recommend this book I think it's worth a read especially if you like a period fantasy with light romance with action.

Lastly, if your looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And A Storm of Magic and many more throughout my blog.

Thanks for reading, please don’t forget to like, comment, and follow for more of my posts.

As always,
