I’m torn on my rating for this one. This book is eerily similar to another book series that was additionally made into movies, which is negatively affecting the stars. That said, the ending has me incredibly curious as to where the author is taking us and I am absolutely reading the next book in the series to discover how this plays out. I’m hoping the next one moves away from the other series as I have high hopes for what’s to come.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Format: Ebook (kindle unlimited) If you enjoyed the Hunger Games... This is up your alley. Very similar but with special abilities and more spice and betrayal. Enjoyed from beginning to end and seeing that characters and situations aren't nearly what they seem to be. Not overly predictable and I flew through this one ☺️. The ending definitely has me ready to read book two in this trilogy. Just be mindful of some triggers such as violence, murder, homelessness and more. #bookreview #bookstagram #bookclub #realityescapeartist

This book was a joy to read. The storyline is a familiar one to another popular series, but it was still engaging and I was not expecting the final twist!

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.
