The Winner's Crime is a captivating tale of rebellion, betrayal, war, and love. From the very beginning, the book's worldbuilding and storyline makes it impossible to put down. Kestrel, our protagonist, is very well-written and full of depth. At the start, she meets a strange Herrani slave who strikes her as special, and she cannot help but be intrigued. After she purchases him, they get to know each other and become almost friends. The slave, Arin, surprises Kestrel with his intelligence and quickly gains her trust.

Rating: 3
My rating for this book is a 3 because the book is a bit confusing at times and the
plot is a little blurred at times. The book is okay in my opinion but I think it will be great
for people who like to read about fantasy.

Summary:
This book is about a princess named Soraya. The rest of the world has no idea that
she even exists. She has a poisonous touch that will kill anything that she touches. She
then meets Azad who isn't scared of her; he even looks up to her.

Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard is fantasy fiction and the second book in the series. Mare
Borrow continues her search for others like her to join the Red Guard. She learns about her
powers, about her heart, and becomes something the Silver Court should fear. I didn’t enjoy this
book very much. There were a lot of unnecessary scenes and it was so dragged on. The
monologues were unnecessarily dramatic and the characters got on my nerves sometimes.
