I read "Powerless" at the same time as reading "Powerfull". They are set at the same time so if you want to you can tandem read them. I would seriously recommend it.
It destroyed me emotionally. I was a huge fan of "the hunger games" when I was younger and this book gave me the same vibes just with magic and powers added into it.
And you cant forget about the romance either. Their chemistry was so good and very entertaining.
I felt with them from the very beginning.
Everybody who loves romantasy and "The Hunger Games" should read this book!
