@krichardsonreads: DONT GET ME WRONG: taking ideas from other stories is NOT bad and probably more than likely happening in most modern books- but THIS is crazy. A quote that stuck out to me on the page was: “your manuscript was both good and original; but the part that was good is not original, and the part that is orginal is not good.” from Doctor Samuel Johnson. #BookTok #victoriaaveyard #laurenroberts #powerless #reckless #redqueen #books #booklover #romance #bookrecommendations #booknook #bookcommunity #reader #readingcorner #bookrecs #book
There’s a fine line between inspiration and then whatever the hell Powerless and Fourth Wing are trying to do.

This is unfair. Powerless is inspired on Red Queen like most art is inpired in orher works, many of the most regarded artists ever did exactly the same, from John Williams, to Picasso.

Omg I literally said I felt like it was just a straight rip off of several popular fantasy books including Red Queen but no one else talks about ittt 😭

As a big fan of Red Queen, I will say I see the similarities in the plot but the way the characters articulated on the page feel very different.

i gave powerless two stars because it was almost identical to red queen, the selection, and hunger games. i understand taking inspiration but the scenes were just a copy paste from those books mashed together

I think there’s only so many tropes and ideas especially in romance fantasy so similarities are bound to happen 💀😂…

In lit class you literally learn there are only 7 story arcs - things can only be so different especially within a genre

Powerless reads like a half-decent college application essay if that makes sense

I was gonna read powerless but I absolutely couldn’t stand red queen so I guess I’ll be skipping it 😬

I've got through 3 chapters of Powerless (literally started reading it 15 minutes ago) and it's already, lowkey, exactly like Red Queen. Half brothers with elemental powers, silver-haired fmc -

I believe Lauren said in an interview that she wrote all her favorite tropes in this book for herself bc she didn’t think it’d get published so it wasn’t on purpose

This is why i have no interest in reading the sequel. When I read the first one it was so much like red queen that I got angry
