Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.
This is as much as I could write the synopsis of the second book in The Winner's Trilogy. If you haven't read the first book, please read it first before going forward reading my review. I will try to not spoil anything but you will not know if you can get any glimpse of spoiler while I'm discussing my thoughts on the book. You can read my review of the first one here : The Winner's Curse.

At this point, I don't really know if Kestrel really good at acting and hiding emotions especially truth or Arin was completely stupid. That's what I thought when I first going in to this book. At the end of the first book, any kind of human should be able connect things with things why things happened to someone exactly after things that happened to the other one. And that disability of connect things that brought us to the theme of the second book. It sure did get me shouting, "Wake up, Arin! Why don't you see that???!!!"

While there's not much happened during this 2nd book, I'm still loving every page of it. The fight took to another level with higher consequences. It's exciting yet frustrating with our main characters problem with each other. Haha I don't really know how to describe that. Even though that certain problems (that I tried to explained without giving much) is kind of what set the character up to the current state of he/she is that will take us to the things that will happened in the next book. Well, I don't really know since the book will not come out until next year, but I hope so. If not, the fighting will not means anything at all and I would be 100% disappointed,

I gave the sequel 5 out of 5 stars!


Happy Reading! :)
