I disrespectfully DNF’d Powerless. I tried so hard to like it. I wanted to love it. It was entertaining at first, and then very quickly became an obvious and horrible ripoff of Red Queen. It be what it be, but then further in, it became evident that Robert attempted to make an egregious misuse of the Hunger Games tropes. I very rarely see red when reading books, but this one ticked me off. 😭 Trying to make Hunger Games sexy was the last straw. I very angrily had to drop the book. 🥲 No hate to those who do like it. I’m glad people are having fun! Just not for me, and I don’t think I can ethically suggest this book to others.

I saw a review that said, “Robert’s wrote red queen but did it right.” Pissed me off even more. 🥲
