About this listen

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love.

They were never meant to be together. As a general's daughter, 17-year-old Kestrel enjoys an extravagant and privileged life. Arin has nothing but the clothes on his back. Then Kestrel makes an impulsive decision that binds Arin to her. Though they try to fight it, they can't help but fall in love. In order to be together, they must betray their people...but to be loyal to their country, they must betray each other.

Set in a new world, The Winner's Curse is a story of rebellion, duels, ballroom dances, wicked rumors, dirty secrets, and games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

I liked the story initially it was quite interesting but as it progressed it became more about war and strategy than the dynamics of the main characters. Overall a good read but I was not enticed to listen to the sequels of it.

Good but not great

The story evolved with every word and every chapter. I dived into the book without even reading the excerpt. Listening to books is new to me, so it took me a while to finish it. But the wait was worth it. The complexity of the situation of Arin and Kestrel was given to us in little bits and pieces. I can't wait to see how the trilogy pans out.

Simple but amazing
