Book | Month discussion

My predictions for reckless are that its just going to be an book of cat and mouse between Pae and Kai and he finds her and brings her to Kitt and she most definitely will be spared. I found the book a bit too slow and didnt enjoy it as much as i would! I felt it wasn’t unique at all and the author used a lot of ‘inspo’ from other books but it felt like it was copied in some parts. Also i actually was more intrigued by Pae and Kitts relationship as i didnt feel the chemistry between Pae and Kai till like the last 150 pages?? Before that it felt forced 😪

Maybe me not being able to feel the chemistry might be down to this being my first YA book. Im used to a little bit more between love interests. Even something as simple as a kiss! So that maybe be down to me as a reader rather than an issue with the book.

i already read reckless lol so ik what happens next hahahah 😂😂

sameee I alr read it u guys r in for a real twist!!! AHAHAHHA

wait, your comments make me want to read reckless. can you describe the book in one word?👀

'pretend' (iykykkkk)

@lish exactly 🤭

As a French who read this in English her writing was not bad but I’ve seen better… 3.75⭐️

Sorry I'm late 🙈

Question 2:

I think the writing style was good with room for improvement.
I could imagine the setting really well, the slums, the castle...
It was sometimes more difficult for me with the characters. The torn nature of the two protagonists was also well described, but in my opinion there was potential for more.

Question 3:

I think Kai will look for Pae, find her, try to kill her and then realize that he loves her.
Maybe Kitt will become more and more like his father and thus a threat to his own people so that our power duo will be forced to take action against him.

I apologise for being late to the discussion . . . I finished Powerless 2 min ago😅

Question 1:What character had the best development in the book? Why? Kai - I like the battle between the light and dark.
What did you find shocking/unexpected in the book? Nothing😅

Question 2: would you consider Lauren's (author's) writing strong? why?/why not? do you think she successfully described characters, world, cloth, emotions, atmosphere, environment around, etc? No, she knows how to write good chemistry but I was not too fond of the lack of word-building.

The last question is: what do you think can happen in "reckless"?? any predictions?? Pae is going to run and Kai is going to chase and they are going to realise they are on the same side - a break in the love triangle.

don’t worry! you can always add messages. honestly, agree with both of you.

i’m still confused, though. what is the purpose of trials? especially when people with status have to participate. wouldn’t they want to save them? for kingdom or something ?
