If you are one of those people who loves this book do not read this review, I don't wanna hear it.

This book was a hunger games rip off the only reason it is getting 2 stars is that Goodreads does not have a 1.5 option the only reason for 1.5 is Adina .

This book was a cheep hunger games rip of the characters were lacking so much the world building was non existent we knew the bare minimum for anything to make sense,

this book was character focused which works when the charecters are well done, and the plot isn't it, it is just troupe after troupe. I wanted to love this book but 3 days to read a YA romantacy should say it all,

The book started off really well. It's easy to get into the story and get to know all the characters. The romance is cute, and honestly, it's the only thing that keeps the story going (which isn't really my thing).

Spoiler alert for the next part of the review

- The king suddenly knows everything about Pae and confesses that a friend of his told him everything (which friend??).
- Pae wasn't that shocked when she found out that it was Kai who killed her father.
- The resistance feels a bit off; I can't really trust them.

“The sight of her in jet black is enough to make me colorblind, make me see nothing and no one but her.”

WORTH THE HYPE!

Heard so many mixed reviews on this and decided to give it ago for myself, boy did it not disappoint.

Powerless has a great magic system, a story that grips you, a fmc worth fighting for and a swoon worthy mmc with great banter.
Absolutely hanging for book two!
