How many times can my heart be broken by a single book? The Winner's Crime was another book to proof that the answer is so very many times! Most of the things that happened in this book made me sad. Choices, reactions, broken relationships, lying... There were so many moments where I just wanted to shake or scream at or hug Kestrel or Arin. Reading this was pretty torturous but I liked it in a twisted way. I really love this story, it all is just very hopeless! 
 Kestrel and Arin were as amazing as they were in The Winner's Curse. I just hate how many times Kestrel had to break his heart and her own, too. I both loved and hated how smart she was and I was really enamored by Arin's personality. I liked how hot-headed he can be and his emotions felt very real to me. I was happily surprised by Prince Verex, I really liked him. One of the most heartbreaking things was what happened with Kesrtel's relationships with Jess and Ronan. I really liked those two in the first book. 
 What an ending this had! I really need the last book and I need everything to be fixed between Kestrel and Arin and the king to be killed and the war to be over! I really enjoy the politics in this story so I'm really intrigued to see how it all plays out.
