A review by allaboutfrodo
The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski

3.0

A tedious end to a series that did not live up to its initial promise. I felt no tension as to how this was going to end - and frankly didn't care long before the book ended.

It's almost like the author forgot who her characters are - I had trouble telling the inner voices of Arin and Kestrel apart. Also, Kestrel is suffering PTSD and, conveniently,
Spoilermemory loss from her time in a labor camp, so Arin and Kestrel have to learn to love each other again
.

"Sometimes Kestrel recalled a moment Arin described, and then it felt to Arin as if he'd looked into a mirror and saw her instead of his own reflection." (p. 254)
Bleh.
