Powerless by Lauren Roberts

4.0

Powerless was such a fun read. It was slow at times and definitely feels like a YA book (which I know that it is), but it was good. My only drawbacks were that 1. The author repeated herself a lot, specifically with descriptions of people which was kind of annoying, and 2. There were a couple of scenes that felt like they were pulled from other series’ like acotar (the scene where Kai has a nightmare… its cute and all and I was blushing for my boy Kai but it seemed too familiar) and from other pieces of work as well. I obviously know that authors are going to take inspo from other authors and that there really isn’t a lot of original ideas these days, but it was kind of obvious. Now, I did still thoroughly enjoy the book! I think the way Lauren wrote Kai’s and Paedyn’s character was great. Kai was very charming and very lovable and I found myself hanging on every word he said to Paedyn. And I felt like Paedyn was strong, smart, and a good FMC. I loved the banter between the two and their relationship was just very sweet and fun to read. With all of that said, I am impatiently waiting for the next book to release.
