No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers.
If the Trials and the opponents don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn really is . . . completely Ordinary.
Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, dagger-to-the-throat romantasy trilogy that's taken the world by storm.

Great story
It reminds me a bit of fourth wing in the way the main character is different and seemingly weaker than the other characters, but has strength of the mind, which overpowers everything. I am running to the next one…
Great writing and great narrating

One of my favourite books of all time!
I’ve started my year off strong!! I buddy read Powerless with Aleira (@aleirareads) and boy did this book cause us to have some reactions! I didn’t know too much about this book going into it but I absolutely loved every element from Paedyn living in the slums, to being picked for The Trials and especially meeting Prince Kai. If I was to describe this book I’d say it’s the hunger games, meets the selection series & what I’ve read of the blurb, Red Queen.
The book follows Paedyn, a girl who is ordinary in a world full of elites. The elites possess powers which they believe, ordinary people weaken so the King decided to kill or ordinary people. Paedyn has mastered the ability to trick people into thinking she has a psychic powers. Every 5 years a selected number of elites are put into a trial of 3 challenges where they battle to win. Paedyn is selected after she saves the Princes’ life, but can she survive when she’s up against the most powerful?
Well I highly recommend reading the book to find out! This book covers some relatively heavy topics however I was in fits of laughter at moments. Whilst this book is not spicy in the slightest, the flirtatious banter between Paedyn and Kai was honestly out of this world! They had me blushing, giggling and even kicking my legs! If I could just read a whole book of them conversing, I 100% would!
Overall, for the first book of the year I am extremely happy! I absolutely loved it and dying for more! You can bet I’ve already got the next book preordered!

Enjoyable listen
Great narration and pov of both main characters. The story is similar to many fantasy books, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying it. Nice tension between the main characters. No spice, but that’s what will make me buy the 2nd book (to see how the love story develops).

Kai’s Voice 🥵 amazing storyline
Kai’s voice is everything he needs to voice every single love interest in books, amazing, the story is so good, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking, makes you feel everything, can’t wait for book 2 just hopefully it has a happy ending, only thing I will say is I wish there was more spice, lots and lots of buildup but no spice

Amazing story.... when it got into it
absolutely amazing story the only snag is I felt it took about 7hrs of the 17 to get into it. the ending definitely leaves me wanting and I will definitely be listening to the 2nd book and probably the spin off short novel.
only dropping it from 5 stars to 4 based on the fact it took a long time to get into.
