POWERFUL - LAUREN ROBERTS If you are not sure about this book/series, what are you doing? I can tell you now this series is EVERYTHING. It warms your heart in ways I cannot fathom but also crumbles and smashes your itsy bitsy heart to pieces. But books am I right? Hahaha ✨fictional men✨ Enjoy 😘 I can’t deal with this book. Lauren Robert’s you have officially broke my heart all over again. I just cannot express how much I love this series. As a reader it’s nice to have characters that you can actually like, with Lauren Robert’s though, you can connect and feel with the characters. You fall in love with them. You route for them. I’ve never had a book/series like this. And I am so stumped that it’s not July yet because I want Reckless, like yesterday!! This is a Powerless Story through the eyes of our beloved Adena. She’s a seamstress who has stitched her and Paeydn a life in the slums. Adena stitches and creates clothing whilst Paedyn steals those ridiculously good sticky buns. Now if you’ve read Powerless like myself you already know what happens - I’m not gonna spoil it for you though if you haven’t. This novella is incredible and the character development for Makoto is sublime - I’d love to know if he’s a main character for Reckless, or will we get a novella from his POV? Lauren let us know please ;) This book literally tugs on my heart strings and I have to admit I did shed some tears. There’s literally not enough words for me to write about this book; so instead I’ll share with you some of my favourite quotes 🤍✨ Powerful quotes ⚔️“See you in the sky” ⚔️“You make even the stars envious, because one day - far from now - you will be up there beside them, outshining every single one” ⚔️“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.” ⚔️“I’ve spent my whole life wishing to be wanted. And here he is, begging me to let him.” Fictional men, ummm helloooo? Makoto and Kai are putting out competition for all you lovely lot so step up your game ;) Powerless was a good story and I know it was left on a cliffhanger ish, on purpose but there was so much tension throughout the book that I was kinda sad we didn’t get our happy ending. However now that I’ve read Powerful, I completely understand why that book was left the way it was, and why the things happened the way they did. Also I’m pretty sure we got an extra chapter of Reckless in this novella am I right?? Because HELLO!! Honestly I cannot put together the words or even string a whole sentence together with the amount of love I have for this book. It has truly cured my reading slump because I was so sick of buying books and then DNFing them. Following Adena’s character is amazing, her POV is so bubbly and fun and very glass half full, looking on life. Like her situation is in lamens terms, she’s homeless. But she uses this to sew pretty clothes, indulge on sticky buns with her best friend and spends countless nights counting stars. Her character is simply lovely, she’s such a bundle of joy and I love how Robert’s has been able to perceive that character and really put it across to the reader. It’s not too descriptive but it’s not boring either, it’s just enough so you can really feel the connection with the character. Overall - 5 STARS! If I could give this book more stars I would 🤍 Lauren I love you, your writing is effervescent ✨⚔️🤍
