Waiting on Wednesday #9 : The Winner's Crime

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski

(The Winner's Trilogy #2)

Publication Date: March 3, 2015

Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux

Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.

The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.

As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

Why Am I Excited For This Book?

So I absolutely LOVE The Winner's Curse! I read it in one day. I could not put the book down. I was so addicted to the story and the characters and I WANT MORE NOW!!! I cannot wait to find out what happens next. Plus the ending of The Winner's Curse! I need to know what happens. This is easily one of my most anticipated releases this year.
