Re-Read- Powerless

I enjoyed this the first time, but after I read Red Queen, the plots struck me as too similar. I checked publication dates and I realised that Powerless just reads like a altered (and in my opinion, inferior) version of red queen. Now I feel just disappointed.
i absolutely love powerless and all of the powerless books!! its one of my fav series ever. i do understand people who say its too similar to a couple others series, but i still love it cause it is different but familiar in good ways.
Yeah, I'm a Red Queen loyalist and this is... not beating the allegations... I might just re-read Red Queen instead. Yikes.
@Zoe I.L.K Yes!
I think I'm going to as well, red queen is so much better!!!

Powerless was first published January 31, 2023
@Piper 🐾 Seriously, how could Red queen copy a book that hadn't EVEN BEEN WRITTEN when it was published.
read halfway thru the first installment, was enjoying it so far but then i got really bored mid way. does it get better and more interesting after the whole world building or no?? TT

The author has stated that it was inspired by it and started as a FanFic thing, but it is too close to say it was **inspired** in my opinion.
However, I still find it entertaining since I also LOVED Red Queen so much.
Also, yes, Piper, you should look into it. Not only has the author admitted it is based on Red Queen, it was released WAAAYYY after.
ughhh i saw this book a couple years ago and wanted to read it soo bad, but then i heard about the plagarism stuff so i dont even know anymore. i think i'll just read red queen 😔
Honestly I see the similarities but I prefer Powerless, which I know is unheard of but still. I just loved Powerless WAYYYY more than Red Queen. But I do see the similarities
