I was the same about Powerless! I got 2/3 through and wasn’t invested at all in the romance, the storyline, the characters etc. & if I’m not invested in the romance then I know it’s a bad book for me😬

I felt so bad about my review of powerless. I thought it was just me. 😭 this feels so valid I 100 agree.

I’m halfway through powerless and I’m also not live, laugh, loving.

Yes I felt the same way about Bound and Barbed. I read the 2nd book and I promise you the plot really picks up and the characters also do some growing as well. One of my best reads this year!!

I absolutely agree with your opinion about Powerless! I feel like everyone is talking about how much they love it, but for me it felt so undeveloped and boring. Even the ending didn't grip me enough to want to read the second book 😔

@Jen_nyyy 7 ай бұрын

I know, right? I'm still willing to give the second book a chance. Sometimes authors really improve over time, and I'm hoping that's the case here. Hopefully, the plot will be more unique to the author's style.

@@Jen_nyyy this is true, I didn't like ACOTAR or Throne of Glass but the following books were incredible! Hopefully it will be the case here too ☺️

100% contend to everything you said about “Powerless.” This and “Fourth Wing” were the most overhyped books of the year. That being said, I did buy/preorder both of the sequels lol. Really hoping there is some sort of redemption 🤞🏽

completely agree with you on powerless! I vlogged my experience reading it too because I was so excited but it was a let down! Scenes felt straight up copied from hunger games (but done worse?), the romance was just not it for me at all and I was so bored 😭 and YES why are the trials a thing! I understand some questions will be answered in the second book but i think the first one gave us NOTHING

@teatimewithtrinity7151 7 ай бұрын

okay i feel better after you said powerless wasn't the most unique storyline because when you were describing it i was like why does this sound exactly like lightlark :')

I recently read City of Fallen Angels and really enjoyed it. Being back with that crew felt so nostalgic in the best way. Couldn’t agree more re Powerless - for me, this book was so over-hyped. I enjoyed the opening but once it got to the games part I started to find it quite boring (the scenes with Pae and Kai felt so repetitive). The twist also felt completely unrealistic (IYKYK) and like it was put in simply to add more angst and build anticipation for the next book.

I'm really excited to read The Shadowhunter and the Mortal Instruments series, but I've been struggling to figure out the best order to read them in. There are so many conflicting opinions out there that I've been putting off starting the series. Can you please share the order you're reading the series in?

@ravenhairedreader 7 ай бұрын

sure! i am reading cassandra clare’s recommended reading order: city of bones city of ashes city of glass The Infernal Devices Trilogy city of fallen angels city of lost souls city of heavenly fire The Dark Artifices Trilogy The Last Hours Trilogy

I didn't like "Powerless" because it felt like a copy and paste of "The Hunger Games". The romance didn't feel real, and the characters didn't interest me either.. The banter was good, though.
