Starred review/ Kirkus Reviews, The Winner's Curse :  "Rich characterization, exquisite worldbuilding and rock-solid storytelling make this a fantasy of unusual intelligence and depth... Precise details and elegant prose make this world fresh and vivid. The intricate and suspenseful plot, filled with politics, intrigue and even graphic violence, features neither heroes nor villains; every character displays a complex mixture of talents, flaws and motives... " - Kirkus Reviews , starred review  "A spellbinding first book in a trilogy about a pair of star-crossed lovers... Like any epic page-turner worth its salt, Rutkoski's richly imagined world is full of dynamic repartee, gruesome battle scenes, and shifting alliances. A high-stakes cliffhanger will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next book." - Publishers Weekly ,  starred review                     , " The Winner's Crime teeters on a knife-sharp edge between devastatingly romantic one moment and simply devastating the next.
