[@RacheH23]

For real. I will cry if she doesn’t end up with Kia

[@qzTan-oe8yy]

I was so scared that she might meet makoto and end up with him 😭😭😭😭

[@BazKrekerandJuliettesGoldenBoy]

​​@@qzTan-oe8yy no i didnt think he would do that right after adena and payden is not over kai. but i was personally rlly hoping they would team up and he wouldnt be all alone after losing his cousin and dena and not feeling loved enough and wishing he was the one to die, ahhh i feel so bad for him 😢 it would be cool for them to get to know each other i think

[@Rugiada_]

Umm... I read reckless and SPOILER ALLERT! You're probably going to be so mad 😭😭😭 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KAI

I read a lot but powerless, powerful, and reckless is %100 my favourite series of all time. I just finished reckless and OH MY. I loved it but the third book needs to pay up for that ending. Like no I need Pae and Kai to be together please 😭🙏

[@Queenbae4]

Ahhh my dear Kai it seems like there will be a competitor!! I don't say that I hate love triangles but Kai and Pae are true lovers and I hate when the female lead has to choose between 2 or when she doesn't understand her emotions.. Anyway I'm so excited for reckless and happy to find this world!!❤❤

[@tiastilinski5467]

Literally so obsesssseddd with this book. I could not put it down from the second I picked it up im about to read reckless and im gonna die waiting for the next oneeee kai and paedyn are everything ;-; id be devastated to see them apart forever what a amazing book this was cant wait to start the next!!!!!!❤❤

[@MidnightViper2089]

[@Tuned1n]

I’m scared for Kitt in the second book 😭

[@onqe5177]

FR he's a good person, just a little grief and rage driven at the moment. If he's going to be a villain plspls i wish itd be at least be temporary 😭

[@Tuned1n]

@@onqe5177 saaame! Omg I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a villain, maybe we won’t even see that much of him in the second book considering it takes place outside of Ilya

[@qzTan-oe8yy]

Yeah 😭 I felt so bad for him especially the fact that he changed so much and the end 😭😭😭

[@tqylorr]

if he turns into maven 2.0 i will riot

[@apobangpo007]

I was also scared for Kitt.. but after reading reckless... All i do is despise him😭 ( i dont want to.. but you'll find out after reading the second book) it's out on 2nd of July

Omgg i love Lauren so so much and I literally just read powerless yesterday and the second book was released like 3 days before I WAS SO RELIEVEDD because at first i thought it was a standalone and i don't do good with book series that aren't completed so I was stressing out and now i found out its a TRILOGY so i'm literally crying in my bedd. BUT i don't regret reading Powerless it's by far the BEST book series i've EVER readdd. PLS Lauren if your reading this, no pressure but also like PLS PLS publish the third book quicklyy i'm literally soo investedd I NEED to find out what happens nextt. Anyways I'm going to read any book published by Lauren ASAP for the rest of my life bc damn was this series a rollercoaster. I was on the edge of my seat the WHOLEE time and the WRITING OMGG. Lauren babes pls never stop writing, your books are really something else and i love you so muchh! Looking forward to your upcoming bookss!

[@575andy]

1000000% AGREE!!! If they make this into any film/TV show adaptation the characters need to match the book. I need my irl characters!!!!😩😩😩🤞🤞🤞

19:21 everyone if you’re here for the same reason as me, to know if Mak is in Reckless

[@Queenbae4]

She is the sweetest!! ❤

[@Em.Horses-13]

18:06 ok so but now after book 1 and (spoiler ) we found out ki really killed her dad is he really an option like what also (something that might happen) ok so people who has read powerless and powerful ok hear me out what if mac and pay idk some how meet up and team together they are both u know kinda like run aways and are now both outlaws and they are both grieving sooooo I mean idk but it would be cute to see them work together ect idk so excited to reckless ❤️❤️ …. Just finished slightly disappointed on not seeing mac but I will live 😭

[@ellarst]

aw man i really didn’t want a second main love interest

[@jayshimukati5234]

Lauren loves Kai I love Kai we all love Kai

[@giovannaalmeidaalbuquerque8750]

but, isn't kai's name malakai?

[@simonteen]

It is, you're right!

[@Kim_Taehyung-h6x]

Pleaseeeee someone explain to me why the king chose Adena to die and not anyone else. I didn't understand that!!

[@notmadss7]

Bc adena is basically like a sister to pae, her family

[@gotchyadidnt12367]

for peeps who are team kai and pae👇 (spoiler warning) ask basically i saw in another video that someone asked lauren abt them and she said they eventually do get their happily ever after so eeee!!!! fingers crossed!!! super excited for fearless!!!❤

[@niki2007-y1p]

I'm so sad characters like Gail and Eli don't get more attention

[@Adventureawaits-nl6lp]

There should be a movie

[@Bow_Bozo]

It would be far too expensive and the budget would cover anything therefore making the movie ass 🥰

[@addyp222]

does anyone know what crime adena commited to be a criminal in powerless? I'm really confused lol

[@kate_0202]

I assumed the king did that to hurt paedyn 😭

[@Bow_Bozo]

She wasnt a criminal, the king did so because he knew paedyn could never kill adena making kai the winner. He also did it in spite of her because she won the flag trial thats it really he is just a dickhead 🥰👍🏻

[@Lyla-0311]

She best be with him 💀

[@Maddy-ti5vr]

A Kai girl

[@CinemaChapters]

I’m gonna click off this video coz I just started reading Powerless and I don’t want any spoilers

[@FantasyDreams2003]

Ok... so what if Payden ends up with Lenny ... that would be a big plot twist.. I hope it doesn't happen because i love Kai, but what if it happens

[@swiftie_bookworm-1513]

Here after finishing Reckless and not knowing what to do with myself now 😢😢😢😢😢😢 (Thank u Lauren tho, for giving us this torture 😢😢)

[@Aaelixa]

@@kate_0202 yea it’s gonna be called fearless

[@Aless_T_Lara101]

I love Lauren as a person, she seems so sweet and full of energy, but I hate her writing, it needs work and not to be a carbon copy of red queen and the hunger games if they had an uglier and monster of a baby.😊

[@Raaz23345]

fr tho its just a copy of red queen and hunger games

[@lubna.reyazi]

Please don't make it spicy or anything like that.

After reading reckless I love how she was giving tiny hints that I now recognise but I seriously cannot wait for fearless now that Kai and Pae are officially together but after the Kitt “YoU ARe tO Be mY brIDe” 🥺
