A Powerless Story

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Set during Powerless, fan-favorite Adena gets a story all her own in this unique special edition of the runaway hit! This deluxe format includes Powerless trivia and quizzes!

Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would 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, she’s rescued by a mysterious man from the market. 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, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.

Review of Powerful by Lauren Robert’s

I did a hybrid read with the audio. The audio cast did a good job.

Event though I knew what was coming this is like THE BEST NOVELA I HAVE EVER READ! . Lauren does slow burns really well. This book had me tearing up. I do have some thoughts on the ending but it was a really good book regardless. Love Lauren’s writing style. This book had so many good quotes! We got to know Adena more and come to a better understanding with her story. I did feel more for her in this book than I did in powerless since we only got a glimpse of her in that book. We got a glimpse at Kitt and Kai in this book too and made us have more of an understanding of how they felt for Pae. The fact that she met Mak surprised me because I never knew she was seeing someone during powerless.

AMAZING

This book had me sobbing. Even worst when Makoto's voice actor also started to tear up.
Just amazing

I love it

it's so good but I'm just soo sad now. it's just awww and awesome

Salty heartbreak

I loved Powerless and Fearless. LOVED. Was actually blown away by how much I loved them. That said, though I knew how Powerful would end, I expected that storyline to be a bit more entwined with the main arc of resistance, court dynamics, etc. I know it’s a novella about two other protagonists, but it felt really separate even though A and P are so close in the first book, and at the end I found myself asking whyyyy I put myself through the pain! I finished the book both frustrated and sad, which probably means it’s written well enough that I should rate it higher. So take this review with a grain of salt— I’m in mourning. Here’s hoping Book 4 gives me some closure, ha!

Good, but not as good as the other books

Am I the only one disappointed that this book was about Adena instead of Pay? The romance in this book also developed way too fast to be believable to me, and there was so much non-closure in the end.

EXCELLENT!!!!

I read the 2nd book first and knowing what happens made this book all the more powerful. I thought the ending wouldn’t affect me as much since I knew what was coming but alas, my heart ached!

Sweet and sad. Pretty good

The female narrator was perfect.

The male wasn’t as convincing. I hadn’t read the first and figured this would be a test. Good but not sure I’ll read the rest

Characters

Definitely lacking,first book was so much better not enough interaction between the characters that were in the first book

Devastated

This is a quick read, but so engaging! It tells the story of Adena during the events of Powerless (book 1). Adena is such a lovable character and we didn’t get enough of her in Powerless so Powerful is for her. I knew what was going to happen based on the ending of Powerless and it did not make it any less devastating. This book had me giggling, falling in love, and desperately hesitating reaching the end I knew was coming.
