The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
THE WINNER’S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski has been on my radar since some lucky ducks got SUPER early copies at BEA. It immediately set off a bunch of my “OOOOH! THIS SOUNDS EXCELLENT” bells because it’s a fantasy, and we all know how much I’m all over those. Any time I hear about a new fantasy series starting I get the happy fidgets; I just want to read them all.
But when I read the synopsis, a few bonus things jumped out at me: First, right off the bat, Kristin Cashore’s name flashed like a huge neon sign in front of my face. KRISTIN CASHORE. Done. I’m in. (Cassandra Clare, too, but if I’m being honest, Kristin Cashore is more of a draw for me.) But then there’s also this music angle, and war and slavery. This sounds like some legit drama, friends. Can’t wait to get my mitts on it!
THE WINNER’S CURSE comes out March 4, 2014 from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
I can’t wait for this one either, it sounds so good. Get married or join the military? Falling in love with your slave? I’m there…great pick!
