Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn—an Ordinary—has been selected for the Purging Trials, which means almost certain death.
Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, she's rescued by a mysterious man from the market. Mak's shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.

I adored this novella. Adena and Mak are just the best and I'm hoping we see more of them in Reckless. Being able to get to know Adena more than we were able to in Powerless and see a little bit more of her relationship with Paedyn was great. And meeting Mak, in this storyline we didn't get any hint of during Powerless, was wonderful. Watching his character develop while spending time with Adena was perfection. I also loved the brief interactions between Adena and the princes; and that we get her insight into Pae's relationship with both of them.
I'd be interested to know if people did the tandem read and how they liked that. I read Powerless for a book club and was maybe running a little too close to the meeting date to do the tandem read. I don't feel like it's necessary (unlike the EOS/TOD tandem read that I feel is absolutely necessary for one's first read). Let me know you're thoughts on this tandem read and/or tandem reads in general.
