Powerless

This is the first time a book has moved me so much. I felt part of the book. I could feel the tension, hatred, hurt and much more. I couldn't put the book down, and I never looked on what page I was I just kept going. Amazing book I have to say Lauren Roberts did a fantastic job writing this book.

This was a decent, albeit a little trashy, quick read.

An unprecedented coronal mass ejection sends plasma hurtling towards Earth to wreak havoc on the majority of the world's electrical grids. The premise was exciting and I think Washburn did a great job balancing the science talk with layman's terms for people like me who are certainly not experts. Also, I'm a sucker for disaster stories and I appreciated the side storyline of global relations that distinguished this novel from many others.

My only real gripe with this book was the very shallow and superficial female character development. I can't think of a single character who was not almost immediate sexualized by the men around her, except for one department head who was very clearly called out as a lesbian. Even the President of the U.S. during a major, worldwide crisis takes the time for a nooner with his wife and tells her how good her ass looks in her jeans... Maybe it's realistic, but it was annoying to me.

The main character is awesome and the love interest is such a simp– I love it. They’re both morally grey and dangerous. There were so many spelling and grammar errors though…
