Powerless by Lauren Roberts

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.

I know it's not fair to quit at 4%, but I could tell right away that this series wasn't for me. The writing is straightforward, and the characters' quirky tone didn't quite win me over. The premise is nothing new or exciting - Plague, Purge, Ordinaries, Elites - it's been done before, and I'm not a fan. I mean, when I read the words "purple force field," I couldn't help but roll my eyes. The magic just wasn't doing it for me. And when I found out there was going to be a trial in this book, I was less than thrilled. I mean, come on, that's such an overdone trope. Thinking back on the few pages I read, it reminded me of Serpent and The Wings of Night, which wasn't a good thing.
