[ 4.5🌟 ]

I forgot how much I enjoyed Marissa Meyer’s stories! It took me a little longer to finish Renegades (thanks to a holiday cold), but I was totally absorbed by Nova and Adrian’s narratives and the world that Marissa built. I especially liked how Renegades showed the gray area of “good” and “evil”; those we consider superheroes and those we see as villains. There isn’t a lot of action action in this book; there’s some moments when things are being blown up, but otherwise, the story is told with a steady pace. Max’s background intruiged me the most, and I wonder how Marissa will build upon it. I sort of guessed what was going to happen in the end, but it was more of a sneaking suspicion than any solid guess. I think I’ll end up returning to this story multiple times, as I have with the Lunar Chronicles.
