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!
CW: Violence/blood/death/grief; mentions of child death; torture; death of parent
