It's awesome that Marie Rutkoski's writing was the star of The Winner's Crime followed closely by the world-building, and of course the feels. The author couldn't possibly pour on the pain for two installments in a row, now could she!?<br /><br />Carmel @ <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/2015/02/fresh-meat-february-15-21st-speculative-fiction-releases.html" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837765255919617324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-68289359529769724152015-02-17T12:45:34.017+01:002015-02-17T12:45:34.017+01:00It is an amazing series Lili, you need to read it!...It is an amazing series Lili, you need to read it!!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-75895783286359118392015-02-17T01:28:10.283+01:002015-02-17T01:28:10.283+01:00Heartache and pain?
