Waiting On Wednesday!



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, that highlights upcoming book releases that everyone is waiting on.

This weeks selection is:

Title: The Winner's Curse
Author: Marie Rutkoski
Published: March 4th, 2014
Goodreads Summary:

 In the tradition of Kristin Cashore and Cassandra Clare comes this brilliant, unputdownable, star-crossed romance about the curse of winning.

Seventeen-year-old Kestrel is an aristocratic citizen of Valoria, a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers. Here, a girl like Kestrel has two choices: join the military or get married. Despite her skills in military strategy, Kestrel’s real passion is music.Which is why she feels compelled to buy Arin, a slave with a talent for singing, at auction. It’s not long before she finds herself falling in love with Arin, and he seems to feel the same for her. But Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for Arin is much higher than she ever could have imagined.

Set in a new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of wicked rumors, dirty secrets, and games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

 My Thoughts:

 I haven't read Marie's book The Shadow Society although I still have an arc of it but, I absolutely love, love, love this cover sooo much. I like the way the font sits on the cover and I can't help but love the girl in the pretty dress. I am definitely wanting to read this one!!

    Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the word Unputdownable on the back cover? That aside I think this sounds neat and the cover is so pretty.
