About this ebook
RETURN TO ILYA WITH THIS UNMISSABLE COMPANION TO THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLING POWERLESS TRILOGY.
From the No. 1 international bestselling author of Powerless, comes a sizzling and heart-racing story set in the Kingdom of Ilya. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing.
Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they’d 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, it’s a mysterious man from the market who comes to her rescue. 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 begin, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives…

I think Lauren Ashley has lots of good (potentially stolen) ideas, but they aren't executed very well. Her pacing is off and I personally find her character development rather lacking. With the exception of Mak whose character development was clearly sped up a lot. I did like her characters as they were interesting and had exciting back stories... But ALL of them that we hear from have exciting and tragic back stories and at this point it feels like a pity party. It was terribly paced and dull.
