Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy)

first books in a series can be hit or miss. the first half was hard to get through. but it still captivated me with the little hints here and there. I enjoyed the second half a lot once the action started to pick up. makes me wonder how the characters will grow and change in the next book.

I love the characters and plot. I love the connection between the characters. I love that the story keeps you guessing. I’m used to standalones and “happily ever afters”though, so this intense cliff hanger ending was harder for me

Just started reading Throne of Glass & am realizing Powerless was kind of a rip off of it. The whole time I felt like the book was missing something, and now I can see why. It was highly derivative. I’ll read the second because I feel like I have to. But, I was highly disappointed what with all the hype this book received.

Just like every other fantasy reader out there I’ve seen so much about this book, and... I am obsessed with it! There’s so many classic fantasy book feels in here and it had me hooked the whole time. Plus, there’s almost nothing I love more than a fantasy trilogies/series. When I fall in love with characters, a storyline/plot and the world it takes place I just want more, and more, and more of it so when we get multiple books I know I will be getting so much more. And I definitely Loved Pae & Kai! Paedyn might be at the in the list of my favorite FMCs; there is just something about her that is so special even though she is an ordinary. On the flip-side we have Kai who is not at all good but I was constantly feeling empathy for him and wanting him to be good. Willing him to become someone that wasn’t who he was made to be. My attachment to Kai is probably why I hated the king so much and frankly I wasn’t a big fan of Kitt either. There were so many scenes I felt myself needing to grasp for air because I was in shock or emotional. And the ending had my jaw on the ground ready to pick up Reckless!

A little bit of every fantasy book I’ve ever read with literally no smooching! Still excited for the next book this summer though. 🤗
