queensthiefHi, everybody!
I was going to post this at the bottom of our latest "While She Knits"discussion, but I was afraid it would get lost. So...
I just finished a really good book! It's called "The Winner's Curse," it's by Marie Rutkoski, and I really think that some other Sounisians might like it, because it is quite well written and deliciously twisty. Also, it includes some romance, and a whole lot of politics and warfare. And the heroine could be Eugenides' and Irene's daughter -- I mean, she's got a very interesting mix of their personality traits. (Well, OK, she's not quite as tricksy as Gen. Also, she is blonde. But if you read it, I think you may see what I mean).
BTW, there is music in the book, too. Not as much as in Serafina (another book I loved), but still, it's there, and it plays a key role (pun intended. )
There is one bad thing -- it's book one of a trilogy, and the other volumes haven't been published yet. But we're used to that here!
Has anybody else read this one? And did you like it?
