Are three stars of rating too high for this book?
Maybe...

I guess I'll collect  my thoughts and then proceed the rant...

De ända problemet jag har med boken är att den påminner så mycket om andra som hunger games och nånstans Shatter me. Har också hört att den ska va extremt lik red Queen men har inte läst. 
Men de hindra mig inte från att ge den många stjärnor för asså jag älskade hur de prata med varan, hur det alltid hände nått och vad som hände. Gillar dehär med trials och sånt och asså tensionen mellan Paeydn och Kai…. Don’t get me started. 100% kär i Kai. Tror största anledningen till att jag ger den så många stjärnor är för Kai hahah. Grät när Adena dog och att de hade brutit hennes fingrar… usch. Gillade alla trial moment men tyckte nog om den första mest men de är nog bara för att man fick så mycket av Pae och Kai. Blandade känslor kring Kitt i slutet, vet inte riktigt vad jag ska tro men han börjar bli mer som sin pappa är ju tydligt. Så bra plot twist att stackars mini Kai va den som döda Pae’s pappa.

Enthralling.

I love a good deadly trials book. The plot twists were somewhat obvious, but the book was still very entertaining. I didn’t want to set it down.

One of my favorite quotes I’ve read:

“I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important. Not until I looked into a pair of ocean-blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing. Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing. Not until I looked into a pair of sky-blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing. I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn’t seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.”

What an amazing debut from Lauren Roberts! Powerless was such a fun, exhilarating ride. I’m typing this as soon as I finished and my heart is still pounding like crazy.

First, I’m so grateful that though Pae and Kai share similar spunk and vibes, they had unique voices so switching POVs wasn’t so hard considering that it wasn’t exactly alternating between chapters.

Second, I’m definitely here for all their banter. Having come from a previous book I DNF’d because of bad banter (and I thought I just grew out of that), Powerless does it so, so well. I was squealing through chapters of endless undeniable chemistry and witty comebacks. I didn’t even care much for the fact that I was being dragged into their romance more than the actual plot—which was still moving, by the way, but come on, Kai Azer??? Swoon.

Oh, but the book doesn’t just do the romantic tension well. The plot is thick and heavy and I’m surprised it actually goes deeper than initially offered. It’s a mix of quite a few things but done so well so far, and I just hope the end of the trilogy delivers a satisfying closure to all of it. It’s ambitious to say the least but exciting all the same. 

I totally get the hype around it. It’s definitely worth picking up, and I fear picking up the sequel so soon knowing it’s gonna take a while before the last book gets released!

I love this book. I don't like Kitt not even gonna lie. It had me sweating and everything. Kai is just...wonderful. The way he speaks about her and to her, you can just tell her is head over heels.
