Supernova
by Marissa Meyer
When I first read Archenemies in 2018, I was disappointed. I wasn't expecting the series to be a trilogy, because at first it was only supposed to be two books. So when I got to the end I was dissatisfied and frankly, a little annoyed. It felt like filler, and I didn't understand how it was necessary to stretch the story into three books.
I was wrong. Upon re-read, I thoroughly enjoyed Archenemies, and this third book was packed full of action.
Supernova is the perfect end to this series.
For people who get annoyed at books that don't raise the stakes, take heart. This is a book with battles that actually come with a loss of life. You never have the sense that any of our characters is safe, and I wouldn't have been surprised to see any of the main characters not make it to the end.
There are two theories that I've had since I read Renegades in 2018, and both of them did end up being true. The first was revealed in the way that I had imagined, and was utterly satisfying. The other was done completely differently, and while I wish it had been different from an emotional aspect, it actually fits the story perfectly and leaves the reader wanting more from the story.
At its core, this is a story about humanity, and what it means to be heroic or villainous. Is the wrong thing done for the right reasons justifiable? If so, to what extent? Are villains made or are they born? Most people are not as bad as their worst deed, and even a 'good' person makes terrible decisions every once in awhile. At the end of the day, this is a book about flawed people just trying their best.
There is one thing that happens at the end that I wish had been different, but I like that it gave the book a slightly vague, open ending.
I would recommend this for anyone who loves comic books and characters with abilities. Also, if you liked this and you are okay with more mature content, I would highly recommend the Amazon Prime show, The Boys. It has a lot of similar themes to this series, although it is absolutely not suitable for children, so keep that in mind.
I can't wait to see what Marissa Meyer comes out with next.
