2.5 ⭑ ⭑.

“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨”
“𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺”

whattt in the endinggg I wasn’t expecting that!!!!
Buttt while reading the book I’ve felt like I’ve read this same story before. It had zero originality, it was just a book with all the tropes that everybody loves, just for people to enjoy it. The main characters also had zero attachment and whatsoever they were so sad to see each other go. Just gonna say the plot twist, that later on in the thir ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This would've been a five star read if there weren't some major plot holes. I loved everything about this book. But there were just two things that were very confusing to me. How did Kai learn the silencers name even tho the silencers refused to give up that information?

“Remind me to make you smile like that again, when you aren't dying, and I have all the time in the world to memorize it.”

LAUREN ROBERTS IS A LITTERARY GENIUS.

5 Star Read! Powerless is a MUST READ for 2024. It quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. I cannot believe that this is a DEBUT novel into the romantasy genre. It was beautifully
written. Add to you TBR right away!!
