Fearless, Lauren Roberts
Part of the Powerless series, this book takes place after Kai brings Payden back to Ilya and Kitt surprises everyone with a decision not to execute her for the death of the king, but instead to marry her to bring unity to the people of Ilya, a merging of the ordinary and the gifted. However, her heart belongs to Kai; but what choice does she have? It is marry Kitt or be executed.
This book deals with grief after trauma and loss, and the many ways that people process their grief, both healthy and unhealthy. We see how even those we paint as villains for their choices have to carry that burden of what they have done and sometimes they really felt they had no choice in the matter. We see how being raised in traumatic ways ends up causing one to turn from his harmful practices, while another succumbs to the brainwashing and mental illness he grew up in, trying to justify his heinous behavior for the greater good. It shows humanity in all its imperfection, the good and the bad, and also, secrets are revealed that end up changing everything.
