Following your heart can be a crime.

A royal wedding is what most girls dream about. It means one celebration after another: balls, fireworks, and revelry until dawn. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement: that she agreed to marry the crown prince in exchange for Arin's freedom. But can Kestrel trust Arin? Can she even trust herself? For Kestrel is becoming very good at deception. She's working as a spy in the court. If caught, she'll be exposed as a traitor to her country. Yet she can't help searching for a way to change her ruthless world...and she is close to uncovering a shocking secret.

This dazzling follow-up to The Winner's Curse reveals the high price of dangerous lies and untrustworthy alliances. The truth will come out, and when it does, Kestrel and Arin will learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

If there's one thing I love in my books, it's political intrigue, and this series is full of it! It's very reminiscent of the Folk of the Air series in that way. There were so many twists and turns and new characters to love! And that ending had me immediately reaching for book 3!

A sequel that's even better than book 1?

I loved it! The heroine isn't a typical cry, or woe is me character.She's clever, refreshing and the author really made me as the reader care about her story. The cliff hanger is killing me I can't wait for the 3rd book!!!!

It’s a Great second installment with a killer voice performance that brings the characters to life. Even when the story seems to slow, the beauty of the writing shines through. I don’t think This book had as much poetic foreshadowing as the first book, sadly, but it had plenty of irony and drama

One of my all-time favorite love stories

This series is one of the best YA series I have read in ages! The author has wonderful, believable characters and puts them in an impossible situation and has them make good choices. It is excellent storytelling and always unpredictable. Justine Eyre reads really well too. Can't wait for book 3!

Fantastic series with awesome characters

Great book in trilogy. I can't wait for the final book at the end of March. It's going to be a long wait. Love the narrator. I always pre-listen to them before I purchase a audio book and she is one of my favorites so much that I purchased two others that she has done.

amazing

I originally was going to read because I’m not a fan of the narrator but I can’t. I’m loving it.

I can’t stop.

I loved this book. I think the performer does an excellent job in portraying each character. The politics and the plot were also amazing. I'm rooting so hard for Arin and Kestrel.
edit: just finished listening to it again after a year! damn this book is intense.prepare yourself for so much tension and anxiety!

Amazing story!

I read a few reviews that were disappointed with this book so I almost skipped it. I'm so glad that I didn't. The main characters make mistakes and try to do what is right and loose people they love... Marie Rutoski uses the second book to enrich the characters of this story. They are real and relatable. Don't expect a happy fairy tale in this book and you will enjoy it.

As long as listeners recognize that this is the second act in a 3 act story and expect challenges to intensify.... They will like it. This book made me like the series so much more.

I admit that I did listen to the narrative at 1.5 speed bc I'm anxious for the third book.

Loved Justine Eyre's performance.
