Resumen del Editor

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!

The emotion as the readers move through the story is absolutely impeccable!

showing a different storyline from the first one matching the events that unfold simultaneously having an entirely different experience even though the outcome is already known this only enhanced the story and the characters and their development absolutely loved it

Loved it but

There are so many sentences that were changed or left out completely. While passages read aloud that aren’t in the book itself. The story was incredible but I couldn’t get over the missing or changed sentences.

Great Story. Love getting A’s side.

This is a great story, especially hearing it from his side. Heartbreaking but so intriguing. Just wish that the female narrator would’ve been better.

The Novella Adena Deserves

Thank you, Lauren! I cannot wait for Reckless! The only reason I gave 4 stars for performance was for Mak’s narrator. When he tries to read bored or dull he just comes across robotic. N’dea is perfect for Adena. Exactly the voice I imagined.

Narrators 😒

It’s nice to have this story but I feel like two high school students were reading to me. Very boring, just reading not preforming.

AMAZING

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

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.

I haven’t stopped crying

I literally knew what was gonna happened. It has been 20 mins and I am still crying at work. My poor A & Mak 🤍

Sweet addition to the story of Powerless

I enjoyed getting to know Adena more and see how she was spending her time during the trails. The chapters around her death were heartbreaking and beautiful.

Pure Heartbreak

This story was so cute, but that made the end that much more heartbreaking.
