No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers. Wow. I just want to say that I have been with Lauren since the being of her TikTok. I watched almost every live and I remember the day she said, “I’m gonna write a book.” It’s truly inspiring to see her hard work and creativity pay off.selectedStore.City }}, {{ selectedStore.State }} {{ selectedStore.Country }} {{ selectedStore.Zip }} this one was truly meant for those who love romantic fantasy, it had every element that you yearn for! I am a die hard fan of the forbidden love trope & this one definitely hit the mark. Pae & Kai were to die for. I was unbelievably obsessed with every interaction between them, the tension & banter was so fulfilling and perfect for those that love rivals to lovers & emily henry banter! the first half of this book was nearly a copy and paste of the hunger games. while some readers probably want that, it took away from originality for me. i could NOT stop comparing for storyline. (i have not read red queen, so i can’t compare to that one.)

The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom of Ilya and shunned from society. No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as a Psychic to blend in with the Elites. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya's princes, Kai Azer, she's thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition showcasing the Elites' powers.Also... I will say that I'm a fan of the Young Elites and that worldbuilding is similar but has better tangible impacts on the world. A lot of the time in YA fantasy worldbuilding will only be a precursor to plot without actually shaping the world). (ALSO. The fact that the desert was right next to the city and forests and shit was so funny to me like that's not how topology works at all). (ALLSOOOO this is so tiny I'm sorry but the fact that they have bananas in this setting just makes me believe that there was some equivalent of the Banana Wars in this fantasy world. and i'M sajifodjsof).
