Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.
Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya . . . The exceptional. The Elites. The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom and shunned from society.
No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers.
If the Trials and the opponents don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn really is . . . completely Ordinary.
Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, dagger-to-the-throat romantasy trilogy that's taken the world by storm.

One of my favourite books of all time!
I’ve started my year off strong!! I buddy read Powerless with Aleira (@aleirareads) and boy did this book cause us to have some reactions! I didn’t know too much about this book going into it but I absolutely loved every element from Paedyn living in the slums, to being picked for The Trials and especially meeting Prince Kai. If I was to describe this book I’d say it’s the hunger games, meets the selection series & what I’ve read of the blurb, Red Queen.
The book follows Paedyn, a girl who is ordinary in a world full of elites. The elites possess powers which they believe, ordinary people weaken so the King decided to kill or ordinary people. Paedyn has mastered the ability to trick people into thinking she has a psychic powers. Every 5 years a selected number of elites are put into a trial of 3 challenges where they battle to win. Paedyn is selected after she saves the Princes’ life, but can she survive when she’s up against the most powerful?
Well I highly recommend reading the book to find out! This book covers some relatively heavy topics however I was in fits of laughter at moments. Whilst this book is not spicy in the slightest, the flirtatious banter between Paedyn and Kai was honestly out of this world! They had me blushing, giggling and even kicking my legs! If I could just read a whole book of them conversing, I 100% would!
Overall, for the first book of the year I am extremely happy! I absolutely loved it and dying for more! You can bet I’ve already got the next book preordered!

So many twists and turns
Absolutely loved it. Great character building and the dual POV was great! I just wish we saw more from Kits perspective during the rest of the book.

I n t e n s e
I understand that this is often likened to The Hunger Games, and I definitely see the similarities, but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of reading it.
The romantic tension in this novel is INTENSE! There was zero spice BUT my lordy lord Lauren Roberts sure knows how to write a dynamic that had me kicking and squealing! The flirty banter and incredible slow burn build up was perfect. I was frustrated and giddy the whole dang time!
That ending though... My heart has shattered. Thank the Gods I don’t have to wait long for the release of Reckless.

Did Not Disappoint!
Honestly I was skeptical at the beginning of the book. I felt like it was a repeat of the hunger games vibes with a touch of Magic but as I’ve gone through the book, i honestly loved it. Couldn’t put it down. The banter, loved the story badass FMC and the triangle love between pae and the two brothers was so intense, revenge of family and a huge cliffhanger. Honestly Such a great book, definitely worth the hype. Can’t wait to read book 2
