While Rutoski draws on the same world as her prior novels, The Midnight Lie promises a glimpse into the struggles of lower status people, a change of direction from the high class life Kestrel leads in The Winner’s Curse. The romance, combined with Rutoski’s rich prose, is sure not to disappoint. As one of the most highly-anticipated LGBTQ romances of the year, The Midnight Lie is no exception. Marie Rutoski is known as something of a romance queen, especially the frustratingly forbidden love we see with Arin and Kestrel in The Winner’s Trilogy. But when she meets Sid, a traveler not to be trusted, Nirrim’s world is turned on its head as she abandons her old life in search of rumored High Caste magic. Forced to follow the rules, and forbidden from the finer pleasures reserved for High Kith, Nirrim keeps her dangerous secret closely guarded. The book is the first in a duology-set in the world of The Winner’s trilogy, I might add! It follows Nirrim, whose life as a Half Kith is heavily restricted. If you loved Marie Rutoski’s The Winner’s Curse, you don’t want to miss her new YA fantasy novel, The Midnight Lie, out today!
