okay so this one was middle of the road type of book. I went in blind based on recommendation from a booktuber and I am not mad about it.
I felt like this book was from a romance author cause the banter was chef's kiss. It intrigued and kept me reading because I read a book about an enforcer type of character soon-ish and I wouldn't have read another similar book directly after that. The book was fun and made me smile and then we reached the resistance and here I became worried cause this could go down really quickly.. nothing surprised me but the plot wasn't bad fortunately so I am not mad about it (3stars)..
The ending felt lacking + predictable to me so I'll wait for the reviews before reading the next book
Side note: I loved the audiobook and the narrators. There was no music or any special effects but still this is one of my fav audiobooks recently.

Also, I needed to suspend my disbelief alot near the ending cause no way in hell she could run/fight/act all of that only from adrenaline when she literally had a shock physically and mentally within minutesThe ending felt lacking + predictable to me

I needed some kind of end to the resistance to be intrigued what will happen to them next. Also, I guess I'll miss the banter and the relationship between the brothers in the next book which were my most enjoyable pointsSide note: I loved the audiobook and the narrators. There was no music or any special effects but still this is one of my fav audiobooks recently.

I spent about 85% of this book rolling my eyes at the cringey dialogue or all the near plagiaristic parallels between Powerless and the Hunger Games. But for some reason I felt compelled to keep reading.
The last 50 or so pages is when the ball really started rolling and I’ll say I even felt invested in what was going on. My last progress review I wished for some drama between the love interests and without spoilers I’ll say fine, I certainly got what I wished for.
If you had asked me in the last 100 pages if I planned to read the sequel, my response would have been undecided. Now that I am finished, I plan to get my hands on the sequel ASAP.
this book is still only three stars because it was not very original and had more potential. I hope the next book provides that originality.

4 Stars, but had potential to be 5. It’s like a magical hunger games with better banter. The book was witty and entertaining, but I somehow was left wanting more from both the love interests and the plot itself. I attribute that to the book being a YA novel and almost wish it wasn’t. I like the point of view switching between the two main characters, but I often found it switching either too soon or too late and jumbled the storyline. Nonetheless, it was a fun read that I’ll be recommending.
