Powerless by Lauren Roberts

Book: Powerless by Lauren Roberts

Rating: 4 Stars 

Review Writer: Ava P.


Powerless by Lauren Roberts is a gripping dystopian fantasy set in a world where power defines fate. Paedyn Gray, a ‘Powerless’ girl in a society ruled by the powerful Elites, hides her lack of abilities to survive. When she is thrust into the deadly Purging Trials, she must outwit lethal enemies and dangerous allies. With romance, secrets, and rebellion brewing, Paedyn’s fight for survival could change everything.

I really enjoyed the witty banter that was often used in exchanges between the two main characters, Paedyn and Kai. This made me laugh so many times while I was reading it, and really added a comedic element to the story.

On the other hand, I did not like how the author left readers on a massive cliffhanger at the end of the first book and I feel that she could have tidied the ending up just a little bit.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading fantasy or enjoyed the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins as Powerless has a similar plot in terms of those game-like scenarios.

Overall, I rate this book a 4/5 stars.
