The second book in The Powerless Trilogy, "Reckless" by Lauren Roberts, follows the grand fantasy romance through the adventure, danger, and intrigue of Blake Snow. Told through the voices of Cecily Bednar Schmidt, Chase Brown, and Jared Zeus, the audiobook brings fans deep into the heart of Roberts' twisting, turning story.
Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous kingdom of Ilya, "Reckless" gets off several years after the crescendo of events in "Powerless." Paedyn Gray is now a fugitive, having killed the King and inspired a Resistance in that act. Kai Azer, the Enforcer for the new King, constantly pursues her. It throws the listener into a game of cat and mouse, only to find out later that the power above in a city sans Elites keeps changing between the two. And yet, the balance of duty against desire remains the centrality of the fight within Kai to get to Paedyn, whom he wanted so much to protect.
This is one of the outstanding features—or one of the high points—of the book: its narrators. Paedyn, originally wonderfully cast in Bednar Schmidt, carries the torch through fierce determination while remaining vulnerable. Other male perspectives are built up by Chase Brown and Jared Zeus to precisely express the splinters in Kai's psyche. Sound effects heighten the suspenseful and romantic aspects of the story.
Fans of the show "Reckless" love the speed of the plot and character development. There is a blend of action, romance, and broader political machinations that keep everything going. The audiobook connects even more with this fast-paced story and its characters in a very unusual world. Some reviewers have noted that the plot can get overly complicated, but this also lends great depth and richness to the story.
Taken together, "Reckless" is an exciting installment of The Powerless Trilogy; it seems to carry a combination of high-stakes adventure and poignant romance. One does not want to miss listening to this book in the best of narrations, and production is found in audible form for the fans of the series and the next listener category. Roberts has fashioned a world that is both perilous and beguiling or, put another way, a world full of dangerous temptation, leaving the poor listener aching for the next installment of this grand adventure.
