Powerless Trilogy Reading Order (Lauren Roberts)
June 4, 2026
Lauren Roberts’ Powerless trilogy went viral on TikTok before it was even traditionally published — a fast, swoony YA romantasy with a forbidden romance at its core. Here is the order.
The reading order
- Powerless (2023)
- Reckless (2024)
- Fearless (2025)
There is also a novella, Powerful, that sits between the first two books and is a fun bonus rather than essential.
What it is about
In a kingdom where the Elites have powers and the Ordinaries are banished, Paedyn is an Ordinary hiding in plain sight — until she is thrown into a deadly competition and into the path of the prince hunting people like her. Enemies-to-lovers catnip.
Read in order
Yes — it is a continuous trilogy. Read Powerless first, slot in Powerful if you want the extra, then continue.
