I love the way that this was written. It had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next thing to happen. And when I tell the enemies to lovers in this books was just *chefs kiss* perfect.
And I cannot believe that Kitt went and "proposed" to Paedyn when he damn well knows that Kai is in love with her and that she very much feels something for Kai even if he isn't for sure that it's love. That is a fucked up thing to do. Especially without speaking to him in private about it first, make sure that he was okay with it. Cause you can hate someone and love them all at the same time, that doesn't mean that you are okay with your brother getting with that person.
And was Paedyn the one that Kitt and his advisor were talking about in his study or did he come up with this on the fly in his craziness. I could have sworn in the first book that there wasnsomething mentioned about him being promised to someone else. Maybe I am wrong though.
Also how is Paedyn going to react to this. Is she going to be okay and go along with it to survive? Also will Kitt have her killed if she refuses to marry him? What is his whole game plan for that? Will Pae pretend to go along with it and then try and escape with Kai later?
I need the next book in my hands right now.

The sequel to POWERLESS continues Paedyn and Kai’s story.
This entire series has me hooked, and I cannot WAIT for book three. I absolutely love the characters here (especially, once again, Kai, who is so nuanced and morally grey and absolutely perfect I can’t stand it), and really enjoyed the layers to their development and relationships here. This book was very different from POWERLESS but I was still thoroughly entertained the entire time.
I did predict the ending, but I still screamed anyway, and there was a jaw dropping plot reveal towards the middle that I am still struggling to wrap my brain around (seriously, people, I need answers). I can’t recommend this series enough for YA fantasy fans!

I wanted more storyline and world building and that’s on me for having those as my expectations of this book.
