Surprisingly, this was actually good.
After having the absolute shock from powerless, I had little faith in what was next. For powerful the story was actually worth putting in a novel even tho I had some comments on some part of that book.

For Reckless here, I actually dived in with an open mind open heart and no judgement with the hope of fixing most of the things that were wrong in powerless.

At first Lauren thankfully got an editor. The story rhythm was actually good from the first 100 pages to the last 100, it didn't drag like powerless did and to me that was really really my highest demand (500 pages was just too much for such a story).

By the end of the first few chapters I actually had some questions written down because I wanted to know because powerless really lacked the answers for most of the questions that I personally had and by the end I had all of them but 1 answered.


The chemistry between them got better, I wasn't just reading two ppl with forced and annoying flirtation there were actual feelings here in a certain scene it was actually so emotional I actually had tears in my eyes, it was well written.

The revelations throughout the book were well timed although some revelation took the entire book but anyways.

At the end there was some part where the reaction to some thing (I ain't spoiling you shit whoever is reading this) was exaggerated but I also didn't mind because the book was overall good.

Kitt was so 2D here, lacking personality and having just inky fingers. I felt like maybe she could've made his POVs a bit longer and with more meaning than seeing him just sinking into the floor mourning the dead king who doesn't deserve to be mourned.


The end??? I'm still so freaking confused about what happened and I don't understand what that even means. It was so unexpected, it threw me off guard like what do you mean this is the end?? Like hell this is the end. But it was and I'm left with two questions but I'll only reveal one.

How long was that fucking chain guys???
