I have no words to say how much I loved this book. It was everything that I wanted it to be and more. I wasn't too sure about a few things that happened throughout the story, and of course I didn't want the story to end. It was a bittersweet moment to get to the last pages and realize that I wouldn't be able to read about Kestrel and Arin again, but the journey of this trilogy was worth it. 
 The author did a good job with the surprises, the twists and turns strewn about, and the angst (view spoiler)[oh don't get me started on the whole Kestrel losing her memory and Arin just about in pieces and other shit that went down (hide spoiler)] between the two. I liked that while there was romance in there, it was also centered around the war and everyone else that came back in this last book. 
 I loved every minute of it. Regardless of what happened, I will always love these set of characters and the world within it. Of course, I can't help but wonder about their future and how open-ended the ending was. I guess we'll have to fill in the blanks on how we think they lived out their rest of their lives. 
 All in all, I'm just glad, ecstatic, overjoyed, you name it, that Kestrel and Arin got their happy ending. After all they went through, especially in The Winner's Kiss, they deserve it.
