Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy)

10/10 banter

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!

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.

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!
