About this listen

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Set during the time of the New York Times bestseller Powerless, fan favorite Adena gets a story all her own in this captivating novella as she attempts to survive on the streets of Loot…and falls for a mysterious—and dangerous—Elite.

Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn—an Ordinary—has been selected for the Purging Trials, which means almost certain death.

Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, she’s rescued by a mysterious man from the market. Mak’s shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.

This novella also includes a special extended teaser to Reckless—the exciting sequel to Powerless!

It was good, just didn’t live up to what I was expecting. Easy and quick read!

So nice to get to know more characters

Can’t wait for reckless! This was a good piece to tide me over, but I really thought there would be more development on why the king did it. I get why, but it’s more reading between the lines that got me there.

Devastated

This is a quick read, but so engaging! It tells the story of Adena during the events of Powerless (book 1). Adena is such a lovable character and we didn’t get enough of her in Powerless so Powerful is for her. I knew what was going to happen based on the ending of Powerless and it did not make it any less devastating. This book had me giggling, falling in love, and desperately hesitating reaching the end I knew was coming.

Sweet and sad. Pretty good

The female narrator was perfect.

The male wasn’t as convincing. I hadn’t read the first and figured this would be a test. Good but not sure I’ll read the rest

Heartwarming & Heart wrenching

The pace and the soft tumble into love was perfect. And enough to distract me from what was to come.

Review of Powerful by Lauren Robert’s

I did a hybrid read with the audio. The audio cast did a good job.

Event though I knew what was coming this is like THE BEST NOVELA I HAVE EVER READ! . Lauren does slow burns really well. This book had me tearing up. I do have some thoughts on the ending but it was a really good book regardless. Love Lauren’s writing style. This book had so many good quotes! We got to know Adena more and come to a better understanding with her story. I did feel more for her in this book than I did in powerless since we only got a glimpse of her in that book. We got a glimpse at Kitt and Kai in this book too and made us have more of an understanding of how they felt for Pae. The fact that she met Mak surprised me because I never knew she was seeing someone during powerless.

AMAZING

This book had me sobbing. Even worst when Makoto's voice actor also started to tear up.
Just amazing
