Honestly I did genuinely love this book, but it is somewhat of a filler between powerless and fearless. 

It follows Kai and Kitt as they battle with their feelings following their fathers death at the hands of Paedyn, with kai hunting her in his role as the enforcer and Kitt stepping into his new role as king.  

There was definitely some shocking twists in regarding to feelings and some actions that are made, but the main consensus is it is a way of working through passion and anger  following the death and destruction wreaked and ordered by the old king and the lies he may have spread.   

Overall I can’t wait to get to the final book and find out how Paedyn and the brothers tale truly ends.

This definitely had that Middle Book Feeling where it seems like a lot happens, but nothing really happens at the same time. Like, there’s tons of action and drama and witty banter—which I totally LOVED—but the plot really isn’t moved along until the last chapter, which I kinda saw coming. Though I have questions. And despite the lack of overall plot furthering, I am absolutely consumed with Kai and Paedyn’s relationship. I can already feel the angst and longing that Book 3 is sure to drag out, and I don’t like it. Lol

While this book kept me entertained, it was fine. There were parts I liked and there were more parts that I didn't really care for. I found the plot to be predictable and the pacing was off.  The characters, mainly Paedyn and Kai, were fine and it was interesting to see how their relationship developed. I will say that I wasn't too surprised by the ending.

Lauren Roberts, I'm under your bed. OH MY GOD.

I LOVED THIS SOOOO MUCH. I need the third book right now in my hands.

if you know me, you know I never shut up about the fact that I'm an OG Lauren Roberts fan. I waited for a year for Powerless to come out as self-published and immediately bought it once it was available and I fell in love right away. when she got traditionally published and then got insanely popular, I honestly couldn't be more proud of her and I'm so glad so many people got to know the world I love.

enough rambling and let's get to the book, 

Kai Azer is the fucking standard, I genuinely will not accept less than him. he's the love of my life. 

and Pae 🥹 love herrr. what a queen.

I'm so in love with their relationship and after that ending, I NEED to know what happens next. god I can't wait to read the third (and final😭) book in the trilogy.

I loved how character driven this book was. the fantasy and romance Lauren created is PERFECT.

I'm so in love with this world.
