Ok ok ok don’t come for me. All the reviews I read compared Powerless to Hunger Games, but I wasn’t seeing it at all!! Maybe because I just read it, but saw more similarities to Throne of Glass, and let me tell ya- I preferred this so much more!!!! I mean the banter was great. I was super invested in this fantasy/forbidden romance/love triangle thing going on (but no one will compare to Kai.) When I saw the wait for book two, Reckless, was 10 weeks on Libby I said - absolutely not. So obviously I primed all 3 books. Catch me having no life for the rest of the week ✌️.

Paedyn lives in the slums as a thief, and is an Ordinary (meaning she has no powers.) Kai is an Elite, the King’s son, and his whole reason for existence is to find and kill Ordinaries. When Paedyn saves him in town one day, she’s suddenly known as the ~Silver Savior~ and is asked to compete in the Purging Trials. When she moves into the castle to begin her training, she’s forced into proximity with Kai- who cannot stay away from her!! Will she be able to stay alive competing against elites with powers? And can she keep her distance and secrets from Kai, even if she doesn’t want to?!
