Supernova
by Marissa Meyer
Wow, yet another epilogue that I'm going to pretend doesn't exist because it makes me mad.
Supernova is the third and final installment to the Renegades trilogy, and this one is 100% my favorite of the series, no contest. Not only is it much faster paced, but the tension is strong enough that the first time I read it, I actually remember being nauseous. It's not perfect, but I find it to be a great conclusion to this enjoyable YA sci-fi series.
With Ace Anarchy captured and Renegades HQ having suffered a drastic attack, both the Anarchists and Renegades are growing desperate. I can't say too much about the plot points in this book due to spoilers, but trust me when I saw the tension escalates to extreme levels very early on, and it's off to the races from there. The pacing is significantly faster than the previous two books, which I enjoyed, and most of the previously established plot armor is disregarded. Do I think the ending could've been a bit more thought out? Probably. Do I despise the epilogue? A little bit. But did I have fun? Absolutely. As I said before, the first time I read this I was practically breathless (literally) because I was so worried about the characters. Marissa Meyer stepped up her game with this one.
I also enjoyed seeing where various character arcs went. Ruby and Oscar are adorable and deserve the world, and while Danna is still hit or miss for me, I appreciated the extra page time. Nova did get on my nerves a bit with her internal conflict in this one (it's been three books, please make a decision), but I still enjoy her as a character. Adrian's arc was more intriguing in this one, but I can't say much for spoiler purposes. I do wish there'd been a little more of Max, but I did like Narcissa's return. I'm also glad that the characters finally embraced a bit more complexity in terms of black/white and good/evil thinking.
Supernova is the stunning conclusion to the Renegades trilogy, perfect for fans of superheroes, enemies to lovers with secret identities, and fun found families.
4.5/5
