I have so much to say about The Winner's Kiss but I'm afraid this won't seem like a review. I'm just going to be raving about it with spoilers because it was perfection! 
 The Winner's Kiss was one of my most anticipated releases of the year because of the crazy cliffhanger in The Winner's Crime. The first two books were nothing short of amazing and I expected no less from the last installment. Somehow it was still even better than expected! The plot was full of interesting twists and turns, the story was filled with action and political plotting that I enjoyed so much in the previous books. 
 Also, it was full of romance! Welcome to my group of OTPs, Kestrel and Arin! Their romance is one of the best ones out there, and oh boy, they go through a lot for their love for each other. Also, all of the best ships suffer from amnesia or other problems with their minds (looking at you Everlark, Percabeth and Rubiam). 
 I love Kestrel and Arin's characters so much. I think they are so well developed and have their own strenghts and weaknesses. One of Kestrel's best qualities is her mind and it was super interesting to see that taken away from her and see how she fared without it, and eventually become herself again. Then Arin, he is this fearless warrior, blessed by the god of death, and still so sweet with Kestrel. Roshar is also one of my favorites! He can be rude but he never fails to amuse me. Verex is also great and it is a bit sad that he wasn't that much a part of this novel. In the end I was so amused with his decision and thinking about all the "running away from my responsibilities" memes. 
 I can't not mention Marie Rutkoski's amazing writing. She weaves the story so beautifully and conveys emotions perfectly. I love how everything she writes isn't straigthforward, but there's space for thinking and imagination. Her writing literally brings a picture of the fumes of a magic potion and how they slowly curl around each other to my mind (I have no idea where that came from, but that's literally what comes to my mind and I had to say it). 
 I have to say that The Winner's Kiss is probably one of the best concludin installments I have ever read. Only a few questions were left unanswered and they were nothing major and the ending was so satisfying. I literally wanted to jump around the room when I realized what was happening in the last scene! Perfection, I loved the whole book and I'm complete satisfied. Can there be any better feeling after finishing a great book or series?
