I finished this, like, two weeks ago so bear with me.
One-Sentence Summary:
Tensions rise and secrets get more and more dangerous in the second book of the Renegades Trilogy.
My Review:
First things first, I liked Renegades better. I think objectively they’re pretty equal, but while Archenemies had more of a sense of urgency, there was less reeling me in.
My main problems with it were the same as my problems with Renegades with a few additions. Like I said in my original review, the Danna exclusion bothered me. She was super competent and yet constantly injured so she couldn’t get far enough into her discoveries.
There were also some other things. While I could see it making sense further in, Nova and Adrian didn’t seem to have a lot of chemistry to me. Also, [MILD ROMANCE SPOILER FOR ADRIAN AND NOVA ALERT] it really bothered me that Hugh and Simon weren’t at all worried that Nova stayed over at their house for over 24 hours AND that they caught her rummaging through cabinets? She’s a very naturally suspicious person and the lack of concern I saw from everyone wasn’t something I liked.
Some things I DID like: Oscar and Ruby! I just loved them so much. As I said to a friend I buddy-read the book with, “[Oscar] is what real men could never be.”
I actually really hated the neutralizing plot line, but it definitely made the book more thought-provoking too. The entire book just made me wonder about all of the mysteries I needed the answers to.
I would definitely recommend people who liked Renegades to continue reading the series! I believe I also said the Renegades Trilogy is great for superheroes and sci-fi/fantasy. The books are definitely worth a try!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
