4.0

Despite this novella not really adding much to the original book (Powerless) other than

how Adena ended up at the center of the final trial as the sacrifice

, it was still an interesting read and see how Adena's character influenced Paedyn's.

SPOILERS AHEAD…

🖤

Well, this is one of those stories that you know exactly how it ends before you begin and while you’d think that would soften the blow… it doesn’t. It still hits like a brick. Listening to the inner monologue as she slipped away was one of the most gut-wrenching moments I’ve experienced in a book. And knowing all that she had to look forward to and all that she could have become was all the more devastating. She was so much more than Paedyn’s best friend. She was a smart and powerful girl who would have done amazing things if the world had been a little less cruel. And knowing he was there waiting for her, looking for her… and had to watch it unfold, tore me up even more.

I enjoyed this glimpse into her life and I am so glad we got a short story about her, even if it did break my heart all over again.

Favorite quotes:

“You make even the stars envious,” I repeat softly, leaning toward her. “Because one day—far from now—you will be up there beside them, outshining every single one.”

“If darkness is the absence of light, then that is what I am when she is not around. And I wonder how I’ve stumbled this long without her to guide me.”

*spoiler for Powerless*

I unfortunately couldn't fully enjoy it knowing what happens in the end T.T. I really enjoyed reading Adena's story and I loved how the author brings her to life in this book since we didn't have much time to get to know her in Powerless!! I really liked Mak and Adena's story, and I'm so sad that Adena did not have the chance to tell her about Mak!! I wonder if he will play a bigger part in the next book seeing as

He has the same power as Kai. I kind of hope that they don't meet each other early so that Kai doesn't kill him (or the other way)

I wonder how Mak will affect the characters in the next book and I am very interested to see how it plays out in the end :) Seeing as we didn't get much time with the characters, I couldn't really give the book higher than 3.5 stars, especially as I went through it knowing what will happen to Adena in the end because of Powerless :(

Loved this novela. Even though I knew what would happen in the end, it still made me tear up. I'm so excited for Reckless, I can't wait to see if Mak is brought back into the main plot.

Lauren Roberts, you got me loving this couple just to break my heart 💔

Definitely recommend! I was kindly gifted this copy by the publisher, but all opinions are my own.
