Powerless: TikTok Made Me Buy It! The epic romantasy series taking the world by storm! (The Powerless Trilogy) : Roberts, Lauren: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Powerless is one of the best reads I have had for many years ... - I found this book very hard to put down in fact I started reading it at around 3.30 in the afternoon with my usual flat white coffee treat and a piece of cake , well I was reluctant to put it down to get myself some dinner later at around 6pm !! yes I was hooked .. I got a ready meal out of the freezer so I didn't have to faff about and waste good reading time so in the microwave it went and was back on my sofa reading , come 11pm I decided to go to bed and read for an hour before going to sleep... By 5.30am I am rubbing my eyes so that I could keep reading !! , made myself go to sleep but was awake again at 8.30 eager to get some toast and get back to this book ... It turned out I did not get dressed just kept reading until later that night I was at the end of book one and diving into the next of this series, So I am 74 years old my husband of 54 years past away not so long ago and I cant remember the last time I read a love story that had such a big effect on my emotions.. The author has captured the essence of a deep relationship that comes from ones very soul yet is also graphic in the brutality of the "enforcers " life where love does not have a place to reside, love is a weakness that his father will not allow his son to feel at any level ...A book that can make me "feel" every emotion the characters experience is powerful and rare yet this book has sent me down that giddy path where I laugh and cry, feel anger and pain, my heart was pounding with hopelessness and fear ... Its true that the loss of my dear husband has made me more vulnerable to these feelings , yet also helped my faith that even at my age I can still me moved by the talents of a great writer ...
Review: ✨Book Review✨ - Beyond the basic premise of Powerless and seeing an aesthetic video on Insta I didn’t know much about this book other than it’s a YA fantasy with a stabby FMC. Paedyn is an 18-year-old orphan, left to fend for herself and work as a pickpocket on the streets of Ilya, after her father's brutal murder. Ilya is a kingdom ruled by a king who wants only the magical Elites to have a place and the powerless Ordinaries to be eradicated. Of course, Paedyn is an Ordinary in hiding and using her abilities to read her adversaries' weaknesses and pass herself off as a Psychic. When she picks the pocket and then saves the life of a handsome stranger, Paedyn is entered into the annual Purging Trials. In these survival challenges she is forced to compete against a group of Elites, all with their own deadly magical abilities. Making an unlikely alliance with Kai, the king's second son and personal fixer/assassin, Paedyn must use her skills to fight to survive the trials and bring down the tyrannical king. I really enjoyed the story and characters but I know if I hadn’t read The Hunger Games I would have loved it so much more. There are so many elements which are a direct parallel to THG that it started to become a bit predictable. For example the contestants are made to gain the Ilyan peoples votes through a public interview (where Paedyn doesn’t say the script she’s meant to follow), royal balls (where of course Paedyn goes against tradition and dresses to stand out) and of course the trials themselves which despite knowing there can be only one winner they form alliances. For a new YA generation this book does a great job of combining a fast paced fantasy adventure with a very capable female main character, a dark haired morally grey Prince who only has eyes for her and enough slowburn tension to keep the reader wanting more. If like me, you’re an older reader that likes to dip back into YA then this might not be the best choice as it has so many elements of other books that it loses some of its charm and becomes too unoriginal in places. Overall an enjoyable book and I’ll definitely be reading the other two books in the series. Ratings Spice: 0.5🌶 Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved it!!
*by A***Y on 7 March 2024*

“I’m tougher than I look, I assure you. The strongest weapon a woman has at her disposal is that she is often underestimated. And I wield that all the time.” 😭 ahhh this book!! It’s been a while since ive been so submerged in a story and the characters. I savoured this book like a fine wine, I wished it wouldn’t end. The story building is epic, kept me hooked from the very first chapter. My first thought was, this is giving me hunger game vibes which I didn’t dislike as I love hunger games! But I hoped it would open up into its own and I think it did in the ways that count - I think you need to overlook the similarities and enjoy this story for what it is. Hunger games who?! 😉 Paedyn is officially up there with my all time favourite FMC’s!!! She may be labelled as an “ordinary” but this girl is anything but. She is an absolute bad***. She has been through some absolute horror in her life and is now living it out in the slums of Ilya with her best friend Adena. She claims to be psychic to survive and blend in with the elite. She is an epic thief!! Little did she know the guy she saves in the slums is the prince, which leads to her standing out and her name being picked for the the brutal competition - the purging trials. Anyway….. KAI!!!!! 😍❤️🫶🏼 new book boyfriend alert!! I’m so in love I can’t even. Brought up to be the kings enforcer, Kai has been brutally trained to play his role and execute whomever the king wishes. A killer. Brutal. “She is a vision, a nightmare, a dream. “ The banter between Kai and Paedyn is everything 😂 I was laughing so much throughout. The flirting and swoonworthy - ness 😍😍 I was here for it all!! But I will say, if you’re looking for any sort of spice, it’s not there. ** spoiler alert** we didn’t even get one kiss!! Soo damnnnn close!!!! 😫🥲😂 - Lauren you big tease!! You done us dirty there 😜🤣 “She is a devil. She is a deity. She is a man’s downfall in human form. She is my downfall.” And what with that ending, it might be a while till we get what we’re all waiting for!! But my god, that ending guys 😫😭 we all knew it was coming, but didn’t make it any less harder. I need the next book. Like. Now? 🙏🏼🥺
