The Winner's Curse

Night had truly fallen. Arin wondered if she would lift her eyes, but wasn’t worried he would be seen in the garden’s shadows.
He knew the law of such things: people in brightly lit places cannot see into the dark.
- The Winner's Curse

Nice intro from Karen!!! Its a series that I will be looking forward to! And it is a miracle that I am into this war related book because whenever it comes to war, I am usually very reluctant to immerse myself into it. Yeah, it contains romance and slavery too but this book is really nice!!!

How much have we sacrifice just for own pride and ego?
Don't we all lose something more important when we put too much emphasis on or image?
To apologise, when you are in the wrong,
to say your gratitude, when you are thankful,
is that really so hard?

In this case, its a harsher. Just because you want to win, you sacrifice much more men to conquer that territory? Even though it is not worth it any longer, you still want your pride back. 

Humans are such dum dum di dummmm~
