One Sentence Summary:
The niece of infamous gang leader Ace Anarchy becomes a spy to destroy the so-called superheroes who failed her family in their time of need.
My Review:
I started reading this book as an obligation, but now I have the rest of the trilogy out from the library and I’ve already finished the sequel. Renegades isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely worth a read.
I am not a superhero person. Something about the excess of “good-and-evil” talk just doesn’t appeal to me and I like the idea of magic, but never really with that application. That being said, I loved Renegades. There were a lot of complex characters and relationships and the powers for the most part were very inventive.
If I had to pick on one thing it would be one of the supporting characters, Danna. She’s part of Adrian’s team but is constantly injured and therefore not involved a lot. This is basically the main reason why nobody has compromised Nova by the end of the book. It’s not because of the fake names, the fake references, anything like that. Danna was the only one to find Nova vaguely suspicious despite Nova constantly coming up with terrible excuses for things during Adrian’s chapters. I actually love Danna, but oof.
That being said, Renegades was very good! I’d recommend it to fans of sci-fi, fantasy, and Marissa Meyer’s other books. Obviously it also has superheroes! If you like any of that, check it out!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
