desertcart.com: Powerful: A Powerless Story (The Powerless Trilogy): 9781665966306: Roberts, Lauren: Books

Review: I bawled my eyes out when reading thiss - Powerful by Lauren Roberts is a companion novella to Powerless, offering a deeper exploration of Adena’s journey and emotional growth. This book shifts focus from the high-stakes trials of Powerless to a more intimate, character-driven story set in the unforgiving world of Loot. Through its themes of resilience, love, and self-discovery, Powerful delivers an emotional punch despite its shorter length. Adena – Once sheltered and dependent on others, Adena is thrust into a world where survival is no longer a luxury. Her kindness, empathy, and determination remain her defining traits, making her an easy character to root for. Her growth from someone who needs protection to someone capable of standing on her own is one of the novella’s biggest strengths. Makoto (Mak) Khitan – The grumpy blacksmith with a hidden heart of gold, Mak is the perfect contrast to Adena’s warmth. His past is shrouded in mystery, and his reluctance to let anyone in adds a layer of tension to their growing relationship. His quiet yet unwavering devotion makes him a compelling love interest. Unlike the controlled setting of the trials in Powerless, Powerful takes place in the slums of Loot, where survival is uncertain, and danger lurks in every corner. The setting adds urgency to Adena’s journey, making her growth feel earned. The story trades large-scale conflicts for personal stakes, focusing on survival, companionship, and self-worth. Lauren Roberts excels at evoking emotions, making even the quiet moments between characters feel impactful. The prose remains as vivid and immersive as in Powerless, painting a rich picture of both setting and emotions. While the book is short, the story feels complete, with a satisfying arc for Adena and Mak. The novella balances hope and heartbreak, making the emotional moments hit hard. The relationship between Adena and Mak carries the story, full of tension, longing, and quiet understanding. At its core, this is a story of finding strength in the face of adversity. Strengths ✔ Strong Character Development – Adena’s transformation is inspiring, and Mak’s layers make him an unforgettable character. ✔ Emotional Depth – The book captures love, loss, and resilience beautifully. ✔ Engaging Romance – The grumpy-sunshine dynamic between Adena and Mak is both heartwarming and compelling. ✔ Well-Written for a Novella – Despite its brevity, the story feels rich and complete. Powerful is a beautifully written, emotionally resonant novella that expands on the world of Powerless while standing on its own as a heartfelt story of survival and love. Adena and Mak’s journey is one of growth, healing, and quiet strength, making this a must-read for fans of the series. Though it lacks the fast-paced action of Powerless, its emotional impact more than makes up for it. I literally could not crying in my class and they stare at me like "why is this girl crying?". Powerful stole my heart and now I cannot wait for Fearless ⭐5/5 – A tender and emotional companion novel that shines with strong character development and romance.
Review: Amazing and easy to read! - I was really dreading reading this before finally moving on Fearless, but it was great! it was such a bittersweet and quick story. i couldn't put it down and read it all in one night. I wish we could've gotten more of their story together!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “See you in the sky.”
*by C***I on June 19, 2024*

Adena is the literal sunshine! She is sweet and so pure of heart. I just loved everything about her! Powerful is a quick novella that follows along with Powerless, showing what happens to Adena once Paedyn is gone for the Purging Trials. Adena meets Mak and they come up with a plan to get into the castle. Mak is grumpy and sarcastic, but he doesn’t kill Adena’s sunshiny dementor. These two have the sweetest banter! This book made me want to giggle, swoon, cry and throw it across the room! So many emotions in so little time, truly this book is on The Assassin’s Blade level for me with all the rawest of emotions. Mak and Adena will forever have a piece of my heart. Favorite quotes: “Self-serving.” “Paired with the occasional self-loathing.” “And I know that I’m the fighter, and you’re the lover.” “But you… you’re the embodiment of everything I am not. And yet, here I am, crawling back to you as though I’ve left a piece of myself behind.” “You are the sweetest thing I have never tasted.” “And I doubt I’ve craved anything more.” “I think you’re my little piece of perfection.” “See you in the sky.” ✨Grumpy x Sunshine ✨Forced Proximity ✨Slow Burn ✨Dual POV
