I…I am not ok. I completely devoured this book in a single day and I am not ok….

Edit—
Just finished my reread and I can honestly see why some wouldn’t like this book. That being said, I don’t think it deserves a lot of the hate it’s receiving. I’m looking forward to the next book and seeing where it takes us.

Put the bow and arrow down, girl. You are no Katniss.

At first, Powerless was kinda fun. But it got cringey REALLY quick. First, Kai is annoying and a hypocrite. Dude, stop pretending you are above murdering a woman. “Who hurt you” my ass. Also, Paedyn’s not that much better. She’s a “cool girl.” She’s sassy, talks smack, and is really good at fighting. I’ve definitely never seen that female archetype before. Lastly, this book reads so YA. It feels like a bad amalgamation of 4 different books I read when I was 14.

3 to itak dobra ocena u mnie.
Dobrze się bawiłam czytając tą książkę, jednak nie zmienia to faktu, że niczym się nie wyróżnia i w trakcie czytania miałam ciągle myśli o innych z tego gatunku. Jak i również.. jak na mój gust, minimalnie za dużo nie potrzebnego romansu, historia byłaby o wiele krótsza i łatwiejsza do czytania gdyby nie tyle stron poświęconych głównie relacji postaci. Szkooda
