Synopsis: The Renegades Trilogy continues, in this fiercely awaited second installment after the New York Times-bestselling Renegades by Marissa Meyer, author of the Lunar Chronicles.

Time is running out.
Together, they can save the world.
But they each other's worst nightmare.

In Renegades, Nova and Adrian (aka Insomnia and Sketch) fought the battle of their lives against the Anarchist known as the Detonator. It was a short-lived victory.

The Anarchists still have a secret weapon, one that Nova believes will protect her. The Renegades also have a strategy for overpowering the Anarchists, but both Nova and Adrian understand that it could mean the end of Gatlon City - and the world - as they know it.

Review: I didn’t know what to expect from this book. The first one was super good and I loved how the powers were unique. I was also skeptical about this book since it was supposed to originally be a duology, but was turned into a trilogy. But this book was absolutely amazing. The story picked right up where it left off, the story was just as intriguing, and the characters were very well developed. The romance wasn’t too overbearing in this book and I feel like we have so much built up for the third and I’m so excited!!!

However, I still have all of the same questions I had from the first book and I felt that the pacing was a tad slow in places.

Verdict: An amazing sequel! Can’t wait for number 3!
