The Winner's Curse was one of those books that was making waves and had a hefty dose of the HYPE MONSTER. While it was enjoyable, I don't think I love it as much as others seem to.
Honestly, this is probably due to the narrator. Her voice is so irritating. It's shaky and gruff and just didn't work. Okay, it did where Arin was concerned but for everything else? NOPE.
I had a lot of issues with the hypocrisy of the characters and romance was one that kind of made my stomach hurt. It was slow at times too. In any case. I will continue the series, though. So YAY for that.
very quick and much fun to read, way better that it semed, actually going to read its sequel.
nice, very nice.
