Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: YA Romantic fantasy  Traits: Dystopian fiction, forbidden romance  Language: English  Click here to be redirected to BUY  ️ Powerless by Lauren Roberts is a solid 4-star read for me. It's a young adult, intense and character driven story that blends action, suspense and romance. It's set in a world between "Ordinaries" (people without abilities) and "Elites" (people with powers/abilities). "Paedyn", is an ordinary without any powers but she has to pretend that she is an Elite to save her life. She finds herself thrown into a dangerous game of trials - a deadly series of challenges reserved for elites. She's resilient and willing to do whatever it takes to survive, which makes her journey a heart pounding adventure. However, my most favorite part and true star of the book for me is "Kai" (King's son and the Future Enforcer of Ilya) who earned a glowing 5-star rating. He’s not only complex but also impo...
