ABOUT THE BOOKS
As a general's daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin's eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him'with unexpected consequences. It's not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner's Curse is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.
The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

Though I really couldn't imagine Harry Potter ever being remade (at least not for 10 years) as far as this dream cast goes there are some choices that I disagree with and others that ARE JUST SO RIGHT. I always thought David Tennant would be a great Remus Lupin and Benedict Cumberbatch would be PHENOMENAL as Voldemort. (A character who I was always a bit disappointed with in the movies).

ReplyDeleteYAY I literally just reread this yesterday, but totally game to do it again.
Also I think you forgot Ginny! Recasting for that character is urgently needed
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAS!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! I've been wanting to read The Winner's Curse. Here's my excuse! ;)
ReplyDeleteI actually just got my copy of The Winner's Curse! I'm pretty excited to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteI would fail so hard at this. The second people put constraints and time lines on when I'm supposed to read, I can't do. How silly is that?
ReplyDeleteHaha. I'm normally the same way, but I won't have any trouble reading this one any time anyone tells me to. :P
ReplyDeleteYes!!!! I'm so excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteOmg yay!!! Yes, you MUST!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a decent read! I enjoyed the excerpts a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI don't want to see any more remakes, they already butchered the books enough. TV series please where we can have everything from the books
