– Fearless: The epic conclusion to the trilogy taking the world by storm!: Volume 3 (The Powerless Trilogy)

Cliche as it sounds I really don't often write reviews, even though I often read them! Firstly, I bought the hardback copy of Fearless and fell in love with it when it arrived! The book itself is beautiful - the sleeve & the actual book! Thank you to the team that produced this! It felt special just reading this story from such beautiful pages. Secondly the story itself did not disappoint! It had me weaving through a whole host of emotions, disbelief, frustration, anger, tears. It has been a while since a book moved me to tears but this managed it a few times. The twists kept coming, just when you thought, oh I know where this is going another came to upset the proverbial apple cart! Needless to say I have been glued to the pages since it arrived and reality has taken a back seat! Finally what I have loved most about this series, & what is beautifully embodied in this finale, is the strength & power that love can bring forth within us. That our scars can be worn as a symbol of our strength not a sign of our weakness. Thank you Lauren Roberts for writing such a beautiful, captivating story, I will keep my eye out for your future creations!

I can't believe I have finished this series!!! Another 4 stars from me and honestly non have 5 stars because there was no spice at all in them! If there was even a little sprinkle of spice these would have been 5 star reads for me but there was none so I really can't rate them 5 star! I loved this one the most I would say, I loved the plot, the characters and the overall feeling of the book! I was left gasping, crying, laughing throughout and the revelations were shocking and got me good!! I do highly recommend this series!!

Great trilogy of books. Read them all within a month! Really enjoyed reading them

This review also appears on Diary of an Inkdrinker What happens when a promising story built on danger, forbidden love, and rebellion begins to collapse under the weight of its own ambition? In Fearless, the final book in the Powerless trilogy (fourth, if you count the novella Powerful), that very question is answered - not always satisfyingly. Fearless brings the story of Paedyn Grey and Kai Azer to a close. If you've read my previous reviews, you'll know I enjoyed Powerless despite its obvious and frequent nods to The Hunger Games. Reckless, on the other hand, was one of the worst books I've ever read, with Kai being the only character who stopped it from being a complete write-off. I was genuinely unsure whether to even bother with Fearless, but curiosity won out. I had to know how it ended. And, well... yeah. The story picks up directly where Reckless leaves off. Kai delivers Paedyn to Kitt, expecting her execution. Instead, Kitt announces his intention to marry her. Fearless is, to its credit, better than Reckless (though that bar was pretty low). Still, it never quite recaptures the emotional or narrative weight of Powerless. The pacing is inconsistent, either rushed with everything thrown at you at once or grindingly slow. It gives the impression that the author had several strong scenes in mind but struggled to thread them together into a cohesive plot. Much of it feels cobbled together around "inspired" moments taken from other books, and the story ends up shaped to fit those, rather than the other way around. And I can't not talk about *pretend*. Used 54 times - yes, I counted - it's down slightly from the previous 61, but still painfully repetitive. And often unnecessary. You can't "pretend" something when everyone knows the truth. That said, Kai's tortured, just-out-of-reach love for Paedyn remains the emotional core of the book. You feel it, and once again, he completely steals the show. Paedyn regains some of her edge here - far less irritating than she was in book two - but when you consider her overall arc from book one, she's still disappointingly stagnant. Kitt is still Kitt. Do you sympathise with him? Yes. Do you want to give him a slap? Also yes. Now, here's a mild spoiler warning if you've not read Powerful: Mak. If you've never met him before, he appears and disappears so quickly it's jarring. He's framed as someone significant, but for readers unfamiliar with the novella, he's a stranger. For those who are familiar, it is a frustrating use that feels like a waste. He's dropped in to fill a specific plot role and contributes little else. It's emblematic of a larger issue - twists that are shoehorned in, resolved too quickly, and leave no lasting impact. They're meant to shock, but the emotional fallout just isn't there. When everything resets within a few pages, it's hard to care. (Spoiler-adjacent rant incoming.) The "their story mirrors ours" twist. Why? Honestly, why? The story didn't need it. It added nothing, and its presence actually weakened the emotional journey. Given the series' repeated emphasis on eye references, legitimacy was never in question. This twist didn't significantly change anything we didn't already know, nor did it affect the outcome. It felt wedged in - a big idea crammed into too few pages with no narrative consequence. Doing that once might be forgivable. Doing it repeatedly? That's what leaves readers feeling short-changed. Despite the lack of foreshadowing and the tendency for major events to vanish without a trace, the ending (and several of the twists) was entirely predictable. I'm glad the series rebounded slightly after Reckless, but it never truly delivers on the promise of the first book. If you're after an easy fantasy series you can dip in and out of without too much mental commitment, this will probably do. Just enjoy Powerless - it's the highlight. The rest? Lower your expectations.

I anxiously started this book and finished it smiling. 😊 The beginning was a bit slow, but around the 50% mark, everything changed and I was completely hooked! I started making guesses, getting excited, and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Let’s talk about Kai. He has officially ruined all other book boyfriends with his poetic POVs. Is there any justice left in this world? Why is he so damn hot?! Lauren absolutely nailed it—she knows exactly what we want in a dream man and delivers it with a red ribbon on top (plus kisses). I’m not too sure about Pae, but in Fearless, Kai made fearless real. He was the story for me. Every time he showed up, the book just lit up. His love, loyalty, and commitment? Out of this world. That said, I did feel like a few scenes were a little messy or didn’t quite make sense. I get that it might have been to set up twists, but I think it could’ve been handled a bit better. I won’t say which parts to avoid spoilers, but they did take me out of the story momentarily. Overall, I really enjoyed the book. While I was definitely cheering for Paedyn—especially when she let her anger loose—I was all about Kai. From start to finish, he stole the show.

I absolutley love this book , it's probably my favourite book in the trilogy , this is a hardcover with a dust - jacket and on the inside theres a fan art of Paedyn and the books actual cover is a gorgeous pink with an embossed crown - 5 stars !

So good

Amazing book

Title is actl in pink and not the same as the rest

Absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t read it uet but I’m sure I’ll love it. The cover is a nice thick paper, feels nice, the pink cover underneath is absolutely gorgeous. I love collecting special editions so even though I already have the paperback version of Powerless and Reckless, I will be buying these special editions from Amazon. The book came in perfect confirmation was packaged well.

*spoilers* Amazing! Everything that happened, I didn’t see it coming. I kept wondering how it was going to play out and then kit drops the mask and reveals this whole evil plan and just mind blows you. The last few chapters felt rushed and lost its impact though. However it’s a great story and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

o livro chegou intacto, ele é muito lindo e a historia é perfeita! na minha região estou muito satisfeita com os entregadores, pessoas educadas e cuidadosas com nossos produtos.
