If the Renegades trilogy and Hunger Games trilogy had a child, this would be it. (can't say anything on red queen cuz i haven't read it yet)
EDIT: after further examination, (and 40 pages into Lightlark by Alex Aster) I feel like there's some... COPYING here. Lightlark came out in I believe August of 2022 and Powerless came out in January of 2023, now I'm not saying it's an exact copy because I don't think anyone can write a novel THAT fast. But, there are a lot of similarities, like 1. A dark hunger games theme, 2. A main character with no powers, and 3. a dark love interest. also, if I remember correctly, Kai has one dimple, and... GRIM HAS ONE DIMPLE TOO? uhm but yeah, thought I'd point that out.

I'm currently going thru like the 5 stages of grief from that ending as I write this so don't expect a lot-

This was such a good book, especially for a debut novel I'm so impressed- I do want to say some things I didn't like first.

So this book was SO ROMANCY and I loved it but at one point I literally forgot plot existed- like it went from

DNF at 24% (chapter 7)

I saw this book on Instagram reels saying it was a cute historical romance and expected something like Queen Charlotte (never seen Bridgerton). It was a bit disconcerting when I asked the worker at Barnes & Nobel where it was and they led me to the religious section. (Not saying that's bad, seeing as I'm Christian, but that's not exactly what I like to read.)

First off, both Finola and Riley are the most annoying main characters to ever exist. Finola doesn't want a man and wants to be a nun, and Riley is the 1840's version of a fuck boy.

For a book that was in the religious section he sure did talk about her body a lot, I just couldn't go on with it.

I was highly disappointed, hoping for a cute romance and getting a sex-centered boy wanting a pick me girl because he saw her changing.

Don't recommend.
