"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."
My Rating: 4.5/5
This was a fun novella that I believe will set up different characters for the next book and helped me understand why Adena ended up in the space she did. I was surprised at how emotional this book made me. I look forward to reading the next one. As someone who loves Red Queen, I wanted to touch on accusations of plagiarism. While there are ALOT of similarities, the same could be said for every historical romance book; the plot points often are similar, the tropes, etc. I don't think that this book is original, but that could be said for a lot of literature.
