So I have started to read through my mammoth 'to be read' pile. Near to the top was The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. MANY people have said that this book was amazing and that I should read it straight away.
I have to admit that the blurb on the back of the book sucked me in straight of way. But...I didn't enjoy the book as much as I thought I would.
I mean, the author is clearly very talented and has a great way with words. But the story line as a whole was bit on the boring side. The concept seemed good but as I started to read I got bored. I do have to say that the last quarter of the book was very interesting and I couldn't put it down.
I understand that it is the first book in a trilogy but I still think there could have been a bit more action throughout the novel. At the start of the novel, however, there were some scenes that broke up the slowness of the book but it wasn't enough to keep my attention.
I know my opinion is rare for this book as almost everyone I know that has read this book has greatly enjoyed. I did enjoy parts of the book but I don't know if I will continue with the series. I think I like books with a bit more drama and plot twists. With saying that I really enjoyed the writer's writing style.
