Lauren RobertsPowerless (The Powerless Trilogy)

Paedyn Gray a girl from the slums, an ordinary with no powers is selected for the trials of the Elites. Oh! But she is anything but ordinary in her skills as a survivor, trained by her father. .All her life she has hidden this secret from the world except from her friend Adena. Under the rule of the tyrant King, the kingdom of Ilya have these annual trials, where Elites(humans with an added ability) are made to fight, survive and win them.Kai the future enforcer of the Kingdom is a monster made for murders. To kill for the King and his beliefs. Trained by the King (his father) ruthlessly made into a killing machine. Kitt the older brother trained to be the future King, is a kind, warm and loving man. His training also by the King, yet so different in comparison to Kai, to govern the kingdom.Once the trials start, Paeydan must do everything to hide her identity of an ordinary, to survive and perhaps win these trials. A compelling tale that had me flipping pages and losing track of time completely. A slow burn romance, enemies to lovers triangle had me arrested for days at a stretch. The witty dialogues and teasing banter added flavour to the flow. The trials were fascinating and I found myself empathising with each character struggling to survive. The descriptions were picturesque and I could easily visualize them. The twist in the end was heartbreaking and yet it set the ground for the second book perfectly. For all those who enjoy this genre, go ahead and grab a copy now. This is part of a trilogy.

Just finished Powerless and wow—I didn’t expect to get this emotionally invested. Lauren Roberts builds a world that’s gritty and intense, but what really pulled me in was the characters. Paedyn is such a strong, complex lead, and I loved how her vulnerability and bravery balanced each other. The slow-burn tension, the moral gray areas, the stakes—it all just worked. Can’t wait to see where this story goes next!

It was one of those quick read books.It is really engaging . Normally I find slow burns boring but this book has the perfect balance . It has all of the troupes I love 💖

Literally so prettyyyyyyy TOTALLY IN LOVE SO EXCITED TO READ IT letsgoooo🥹❤️

Kai Azer, my love.Great storytelling!

Set in a brutal kingdom where the divide between the powerful Elites and the powerless is everything, it delivers a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers fantasy that doesn’t hold back on danger, betrayal, or slow-burning chemistry. A world where power isn’t just a privilege—it’s the difference between life and death. And for Paedyn Gray, who’s been hiding the truth about being powerless in a city that hunts people like her, every day is a gamble. But when she’s accidentally thrust into the deadly Purging Trials meant for the Elites, her entire life becomes a dangerous performance—one misstep away from exposure.This was a fun read but I didn't feel that I was reading anything new.
