About this audiobook
Set during Powerless, fan-favorite Adena gets a story all her own in this unique special edition of the runaway hit! This deluxe format includes sprayed stenciled edges, decorative endpapers, case stamping, ribbon marker, and Powerless trivia and quizzes!
Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would 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, she’s rescued by a mysterious man from the market. 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, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.

This is not a good book. It’s trite and meaningless. There are whole chapters that are about absolutely nothing. There are a few passages that have some redeeming literary value but overall this book is a waste of time. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

I am a complete mess after reading this book. I knew what would happen and yet the ending still left me speechless and in tears. Beautifully done, I'm equal parts furious and in awe of Lauren Roberts. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

I think narrators definitely have a huge impact on the book. I LOVE the first two. Still thinking about them days later. Can’t wait for the third. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past chapter 5 of this book. Makes me sad because I love the stories. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Such a great opportunity to get to know one of the lesser characters in “Powerless.” Lauren Roberts should teach a class on how to write chemistry between characters! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
