This book wasn't really anything special, much like Powerless. It was nice to see what Adena was doing in the slums whilst Pae was in the trials, but I didn't really feel connected to the book knowing already
that she was going to die at the end.


Her and Mak were cute, and I do feel awful for him considering
he lost the two people he was closest to.


It was a nice, quick read but not something I would read again. I would've liked an after bit, maybe of a couple months later about Mak and how he was coping perhaps.

Powerful by @laurenrobertslibrary had me screaming and crying and almost throwing my phone across the room. 

This novella manages to be darker and much more intense than Powerless. 

PROS: 
🪡The people who love the people in the arena 
🩸A different form of hiding in plain sight 
🪡Under appreciated talent 
🩸Power doesn’t save you from poverty 
🪡Enemies to Friends to Lovers 

CONS: 
🩸The King, but make my rage about 200X worse 
🪡Never getting to say goodbye 
🩸Love cut short 
🪡The fact I became so invested when I already knew what was coming. 

🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮 out of 5 sticky honey cakes
