It’s a midnight lie… a kind of lie told for someone else’s sake, a lie that sits between goodness and wrong, just as midnight is the moment between night and morning. However, there were still many things that I enjoyed about it, including the F/F romance. I’ve been looking forward to a new book from Marie Rutkoski for a long time and I have some mixed feelings about The Midnight Lie. It’s set in Herrath, an island that sits in the same world as The Winner’s Trilogy and, while I loved being back in the same world and hearing mentions of some of the characters who I’ve come to love, The Midnight Lie didn’t bring out the same excitement in me as The Winner’s Trilogy. There were many subtle similarities in the plot and characters of between the two and I just didn’t think that it was done as well this time around. Set in the world of the New York Times–bestselling Winner’s Trilogy, beloved author Marie Rutkoski returns with an epic LGBTQ romantic fantasy about learning to free ourselves from the lies others tell us-and the lies we tell ourselves. She must place her trust in this sly stranger who asks, above all, not to be trusted.
But to do that, Nirrim must surrender her old life. Sid tempts Nirrim to seek that magic for herself. Nirrim keeps her head down and a dangerous secret close to her chest.īut then she encounters Sid, a rakish traveler from far away who whispers rumors that the High Caste possesses magic. You either follow the rules, or pay a tithe and suffer the consequences. People of her low status are forbidden from sampling sweets or wearing colors. Where Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society’s pleasures are reserved for the High Kith.
