4,5⭐ Degna conclusione di trilogia e dei tre a mio parere anche il libro più bello. Il messaggio della Rutkoski qua viene presentato a pieno titolo: la denuncia sociale sulla schiavitù è palese, non ci gira attorno, non te la addolcisce ma te la mette dinanzi nuda e cruda e così andava fatto. Si parla anche di incontrare se stessi, del perdono... è riuscito a commuovermi. Arin e Kestrel sono stati due grandi personaggi la cui storia mi ha coinvolto e non potrei essere più felice del loro destino. Non ha grandi colpi di scena ma l'ho divorato in un giorno. È una serie che assolutamente consiglio!

I want to high-five Marie Rutkoski for how strong and just downright PERFECT an ending this book is for her Winner's trilogy. This is how you wrap-up up a series. So, so very well paced, developed, and executed, while remaining true to the characters developed in the first two books.

Started 18th

It took me a long time to finish The Winner's Kiss.
In comparison to the prequel, The Winner's Kiss lacks something for me. It's a really good book, good ending, good everything.
I wish there wasn't a but, BUT, unfortunately there is.
Too much goodamn battle scenes. Written wonderfully, but unexpected.
And the fact that Kestrel...well, Kestrel isn't the same after her slavery work, it was kind of depressing, but necessary to the plot.
This book deserves more than four stars, but I feel that my overexceeding expectations kinnd of ruined everything for me.
I imagined Kestrel being her usual stealthy self. She was cunning, a bit at lost with herself. So, I feel a bit unattached to her as the main character. Or at least one of the main characters.
Ari....and his unnatural relationship with his god of death, creeped me out. But he was the forevermore charming Herrani. A little bit more matured and nursed into the battlefield, both as a leader and a warrior.
I think I sympathized better with him than Kestrel.
And I ended up shipping Roshar and Ari. *clears throat*



I meant Ari, Roshar's tiger, and Roshar himself obviously...

Roshar, he's what I would depict as a cutie little piece of shit. Simply because he was snarky, and endearing at the same time. No flaws whatsoever.
I love me some snarky characters.
Ugh, I wish I could write more. But I'm not feeling anything with this being the ending of The Winner's thrilogy.

I love this series! Great conclusion!

WOOOOOOW! I really enjoyed this, what a perfect conclusion to this series.

“She would never give him her dagger. “I tried so hard to live in your world,” she told him. “Now it’s your turn to live in mine.”

I'm devastated the journey is over, but grateful that I had the chance to experience it. Thank you Marie Rutkoski for blessing the world with this enchanting series. I won't say much (mainly because I'm still a wreck), but just know that the whole series is worth every penny just for that perfect ending.
