📖 Powerless

In Powerless by Lauren Roberts, people called Elites have special powers given to them by a sickness called the Plague. However, those who didn't get the powers are called Ordinaries. When the king decided that all the Ordinaries should be banished in order to protect the Elites, becoming an Ordinary could mean death. Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary, has been stealing and thieving since she was little. Once, her father taught her how to disguise herself as an Elite so she could stay alive. But her father isn't with her anymore and the Elites only get more suspicious, day after day. One day, Paedyn accidentally saves a prince of Ilya. Astounded by her so-called "power", she gets placed into the Purging Trials, a contest meant to show off the powers of the Elites. The problem is, Paedyn doesn't have any powers. Even if the Trials don't kill her, the princes and king might. I recommend this book because it is full of danger at every page, secrets whispered, and forbidden romance. It is an easy and exciting read for people of all ages.

在劳伦-罗伯茨(Lauren Roberts)的《无能为力》(Powerless)一书中,被称为 "精英"(Elites)的人拥有一种名为 "瘟疫 "的疾病赋予他们的特殊能力。然而,没有获得这种能力的人被称为 "普通人"。为了保护精英,国王决定驱逐所有普通人,成为普通人就意味着死亡。 Paedyn Gray 是一名普通人,从小就喜欢偷东西。有一次,她的父亲教她如何伪装成精英,这样她就能活下去。但她的父亲已经不在了,精英们的疑心也与日俱增。 有一天,派汀意外地救了一位伊利亚王子。她被自己所谓的 "力量 "惊呆了,于是被安排参加 "净化试炼",这是一场旨在展示精英力量的比赛。问题是,Paedyn 并没有任何力量。即使试炼没有杀死她,王子和国王也可能会杀了她。 我推荐这本书,因为它每一页都充满了危险、秘密和禁忌的浪漫。这是一本适合所有年龄段的人阅读的轻松而刺激的书。
