A review by bdunn77
Powerless by Lauren Roberts

3.0

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.
