Recenzie: The Winner’s Crime (The Winner’s Trilogy, #2) de Marie Rutkoski
RECENZIE SCRISĂ DE CRISTINA URS PENTRU BLOGUL OKIAN.
My rating: 5 EPIC Stars
Before I start I just wanna ask Marie Rutkoski: why are you so cruel? Why? You, Marie Rutkoski, are a phenomenal storyteller, I loved this book and the rest of the series, it’s just that the ending was too much for my heart to bear, especially for another whole year! The book is really EPIC (A.W.E.S.O.M.E.)! The feels this book put me through though… how do I even describe that ?
A whirlwind of angst, heartbreak, heartache, doubt, and self-sacrifice to the fullest extent, I could barely breathe through most of this story. It was harsh. It was evil. There wasn’t a moment where I wasn’t sitting on the edge of my bed. And Holy Hell did I LOVED IT!
From my point of view, the book was more about the sacrifices we make for love. It still had the forbidden love elements, but a lot of the story was centered around Kestrel’s heartbreak. It was a bit hard to try to differentiate my emotions from Kestrel’s. I think that was my biggest struggle with this story - our emotions meshed together a little too well.
I knew there was never going to be a a good end to this story. Kestrel knew that, too. But Arin, Arin didn’t, on oh boy did he begin to see it that way. The King was an evil, conniving jerk, and he was the main reason I couldn’t breathe through this story. He watched Kestrel’s every move. He watched Arin’s every move. He watched his son’s every move. And when Kestrel’s father came back into the story, it only added an extra layer of oh no.
Lies. Lies, lies, lies and another handful of lies. Secrets and secrets and misunderstandings and assumptions and lots of heartbreak. Hope, bleak hope. And then that door closes in on you, too.
This book is way tooo good to miss!
