Ungefär vad man kan förvänta sig av en sån här liten novell, inget speciellt men verkligen värd att läsa!
Medan Paedyn deltar i the Purging Trials, får vi ta del av Adenas resa under tiden. Adenas lojalitet och vänskap till Pae följer henne till slutet.

Somehow knowing the ending just made the book cruel but also beautiful to read the other perspective.

This book was sad, but we all knew that before we started reading it, and altough it was supposed to be that way, it felt very bland to me.
We were given an instalove once more, where the characters go from "I don't like you" to "you are now the love of my life" in such a short time, and even if it wasn't such a short time in the timeline of the book, it was quite fast for us readers.
Shure, we saw them warm up to each other, but the jump from warming up to love was so fast I didn't even felt conected to Mak as a character.
Anyway, I think Mak's power is an interesting twist for the future of the books and, if done properly, it can make the story a lot better. Unfortunately I won't find out since I won't keep reading this series. I don't think I'm the target audience for this books.

Powerful by @laurenrobertslibrary had me screaming and crying and almost throwing my phone across the room.
This novella manages to be darker and much more intense than Powerless.
PROS:
🪡The people who love the people in the arena
🩸A different form of hiding in plain sight
🪡Under appreciated talent
🩸Power doesn’t save you from poverty
🪡Enemies to Friends to Lovers
CONS:
🩸The King, but make my rage about 200X worse
🪡Never getting to say goodbye
🩸Love cut short
🪡The fact I became so invested when I already knew what was coming.
