The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars

AMAZINGLY STUNNINGLY PAINFULLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I just can't decide to give 4 or 5 stars but the right rating for me is 4.5 stars. I really loved the first one and gave 5 stars but this book is all amazing too especially through the ending. No, this book makes me crazy about the ending. We're going to talk about it later.

The Winner's Crime is a high fantasy book filled with political issues, betrayal, forbidden romance and lots of more.. At the beginning the political issues seems a little complicated but later I figured it out. That was all amazing. Marie Ritkoski did a really great job. I don't know what to say about my feelings. I just finished this book yesterday and it makes me really sad, angry, confused, scared.. I don't know how I can wait until March because of the ending...

Let's talk about the characters. As I kept saying over and over, Kestrel is one of my favorite female character because she is so intelligent, she is strong, she can hide her emotions easily to be pretending. But actually, she just cares people she love. Especially Arin. I just felt sorry for her to forced to lie to him. Arin and Kestrel's relationship is well-developed in The Winner's Crime. But I just have to say, I expect to read more scene about them. Together I mean. My favorite couple in seperate?? No. NO. I know their love is forbidden but in the first book, we usually see them together. But I hoped in the third and the final book -did I mentioned that the third book's name is The Winner's KISS'? YES, I WANT TO SEE THEM TOGETHER. WITH A LOT OF KISSES. PLEEEEAASSEEEE......

Anyway, if you're looking forward to read a high fantasy book with intriguing plot twists, political issues, forbidden romance by amazing well-written writer? You should read this book.The Winner's series is one of my favorites forever. I just started to love high fantasy books with this series.

PS: Why did Turkish publishers started to publish these kind of books? ESPECIALLY THE WINNER'S CURSE??? I just wanted to read again in Turkish too. :)))

PS2: If you hate cliff-hangers (this is a lot more than cliff-hangers) I probably should warn you about the ending. Maybe you should wait until March. I didn't and I just have to wait until 2016..
Anyway, the last advice is go get that book despite that painful ending :D

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At the beginning of the book, I am confused about my feelings for this book. But when I continued reading, it gets better and better. Tarver and Lilac is adorable couple and their story is touching and also perfect.

I really like the space parts because before starting this book, I hopefully imagine some space scene going on because I love everything about space- it is so cool and unique-.

It's a young-adult book and you can see the signs of it but it didn't really bothers me. At first the characters have different bevavior but when we learned why they actually did, you can understand them.

If you love reading amazing love story in unnamed planet with amazing world-building and amazing characters, I will definitely recommend this book to you! :)
