About this listen

From the No. 1 international bestselling author of Powerless, comes a sizzling and heart-racing story set in the Kingdom of Ilya. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing.

Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they’d always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn – an Ordinary – has been selected for The Purging Trials, which means almost certain death.

Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, it’s a mysterious man from the market who comes to her rescue. Mak’s shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials begin, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives…

Powerful

It is a lovely little novela to understand the story of Adena and Makoto(Mak). I was sobbing at the end of the book and am very curious how Mak is related to this story.

Slow to begin with

Slow to begin with and not much happening at first but I felt the same way about Powerless. Picks ups towards the end and I enjoyed it!

Still hurt the second time!

*Possible Powerless Spoilers - recommended not to read if you haven’t read Powerless.

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. I went in being all delulu, pretending I don’t know how this book will end and well I got hit by a train full of reality and ended up crying my eyes out.

Powerful, is the novella to Powerless. In this story we get to witness what Adena got up to and who she got up to with whilst Paedyn entered the Elite Trials. Adena meets mysterious Mac after they both watched their loved ones go to the castle. They must now rely on each other, Mac providing food and Adena, providing a way into the castle for Mac to say goodbye. But what happens when they make it into the castle?

I want to say I didn’t like this because of the emotional wreck this book made me, but it was so good! Adena has captured my heart and I have so much more love for her sunshine self. Mac was incredible! He was so grumpy in the best kind of way and it made me so happy that Adena found someone like him to protect her.

I love Lauren Roberts and her writing. It’s so easy to fall in love with and read. I’m so excited for Reckless in July! I NEED MORE PAE AND KAI!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Great addition the first book, had me ballin by the end

Listened to the audiobook, the voiceover for Adena from Mak’s POV was sometimes a little frustrating
