This book was sad, but we all knew that before we started reading it, and altough it was supposed to be that way, it felt very bland to me.

We were given an instalove once more, where the characters go from "I don't like you" to "you are now the love of my life" in such a short time, and even if it wasn't such a short time in the timeline of the book, it was quite fast for us readers. 
Shure, we saw them warm up to each other, but the jump from warming up to love was so fast I didn't even felt conected to Mak as a character.

Anyway, I think Mak's power is an interesting twist for the future of the books and, if done properly, it can make the story a lot better. Unfortunately I won't find out since I won't keep reading this series. I don't think I'm the target audience for this books.

This entire review contains spoilers. Then again, you shouldn’t be reading this if you haven’t read Powerless.

Ugh! I obviously went into this book knowing what would happen to Adena, and the ending still shattered my heart.

Adena and Mak’s love story felt insta-lovey, especially compared to Paedyn and Kai’s in the first book, but they are side characters and this is a .5 novella, so it’s understandable. I wish we could’ve gotten more vulnerable moments with them! They deserved to live their love story, even if it wasn’t for long.

I enjoyed getting to know Adena more and see how she was spending her time during the trails. The chapters around her death were heartbreaking and beautiful.
