Powerless is set in a fantasy world, where in the main city, Ilya, there are people with abilities/powers who are called elites, and people without them called ordinaries. The main protagonist, Paedyn, is an ordinary. She is a poor teen living in ‘the slums’ with her best friend. When she saves a prince’s life, she is chosen to participate in a deadly game. The plot features Paedyn surviving as a lesser-than, and fighting the feelings she has for the prince.
I enjoyed the detailed world setting, and that you can easily immerse yourself in the world of the book, and the slow-burn romance within it. I love how each character has their own unique voice, and how the author conveys their emotions throughout the book. If you love dark, slow-burn romantasy books with high stakes, this is the book for you. Trust me.
