All Aboard The Powerless Hype Train 🚂🚂🚂
I caved, and by the end I can say that I loved it. There were moments in the middle between 30-60% that yes, I did feel some hunger games similarities… BUT overall this is definitely a work of its own. By 60% I was sure this was going to be a 3.5 or 4 star read, but the ending really pulled through to bring it up to 4.75 for me.
There’s a lot of books in the fantasy realms that have similarities to one another, tropes and plot points that can be related to previous reads- that doesn’t deter me from reading them.
Where can I get myself a Kai????? 👀😋 The writing was engaging and easy to read, & I was foaming at the mouth with the witty interactions between Kai and Paedyn. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book because that cliffhanger was criminal.
