Powerless Deserves Every One of Five Stars
If you haven't read or don't already love Powerless, you should.
Powerless by Lauren Roberts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
PSA: This is a MUST read. Like y’all.. SO. GOOD!!! We’re obsessed with the “!!!!!” feeling over here and this book HAS it. 🤩
Powerless had me giggling, my feet kicking, jaw dropping, heart wrenching - alllll the things. Literally couldn’t put it down hahaha.
It's Lauren Roberts’s debut novel and the first book in what she plans to be a trilogy, with novellas in between (YAY!).
In Powerless, we meet main characters Kai and Paedyn (enemies to lovers anyone? 😏), in a world where “only the extraordinary belong.”
“When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites’ powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is—completely Ordinary.”
AHHH!!! That’s just a snippet of the synopsis and I’m already freaking out, ready to read it again over here.
If you’re - SOMEHOW - still on the fence about adding Powerless to your TBR and reading it immediately, just know I’m not the only one raving about this book.
Powerless has a rating of 4.32 stars out of 76,098 ratings on Goodreads and 4.5 stars out of 7,049 reviews on Amazon - that’s AMAZING. For a debut novel written by an 18-year-old and published at 20 no less?! UNHEARD of.
I can’t say enough good things about Powerless and I wish I could re-read it for the first time again. I’m already SOOO excited for Reckless to come out this year. 🥳🥳
Good news! Lauren announced that Powerful, the first of two novellas in the series, is releasing on April 30th in the US (April 11th in the UK)!
“Set during the time of the New York Times bestseller Powerless, fan favorite Adena gets a story all her own as she attempts to survive on the streets of Loot...and falls for a mysterious—and dangerous—Elite.”
I pre-ordered Powerful and can’t wait! Just the thing we need in our wait for Reckless.
And if you’re not convinced you need to read Powerless ASAP yet, let me just say - the slow burn be slow burnin’. 😍🥵🫠
Put simply, 🤩🥰🙌🏼🥹🫶🏼😍🥵🥳🤌🏼😭🫠
