The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy, 2)
The Winner's Crime, the dazzling follow-up to Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse, reveals the high price of dangerous lies and untrustworthy alliances.
Following your heart can be a crime
A royal wedding is what most girls dream about. It means one celebration after another: balls, fireworks, and revelry until dawn. 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: that she agreed to marry the crown prince in exchange for Arin's freedom. But can Kestrel trust Arin? Can she even trust herself? For Kestrel is becoming very good at deception. She's working as a spy in the court. If caught, she'll be exposed as a traitor to her country. Yet she can't help searching for a way to change her ruthless world . . . and she is close to uncovering a shocking secret.
The truth will come out, and when it does, Kestrel and Arin will learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

it kept me on the edge since the beginning until the very end, I can't believe how it had so many twitches and cliffhangers and barbed edges by, pretty much, every sentence.
so much happened, so fast. the new characters, the ones I thought I couldn't like, the old ones and the ones who WEENT AWAY, oh my heart, it hurts, but to see how beautifully they were taken down, falling and breaking pieces inside of her. The Emperor, I breathe and live for characters like him, my heart is still beating because I know there is another book coming with more of his evil. THAT IS HOW YOU VILLAIN. he is so bad. I live.
another seven months, though. I can't believe I've allowed myself to be caught in another unfinished series.
but it so good, so good.
I might die waiting, and you can be sure I'd come back just to know it ends.
