Renegades is written in third-person but follows specifically two characters: Nova, a girl who is seeking vengeance on the Renegades because they failed her family in their hour of need and Adrian, who is the son of two of the Renegade leaders and who is searching for the answers to his mother’s death. And whilst I did enjoy Renegades, I’m not sure it has that punch. With Renegades, I feel like I’ve read many variations of this story before – superheroes are very en vogue in all kinds of media right now, and when you have an over-saturated genre, a story needs to be good to stand out. Renegades isn’t bad, but I didn’t love it like I loved TLC. Marissa Meyer books seem to be a bit of a hit-or-miss with me as of late The Lunar Chronicles remains one of my favourite book series, but Heartless I wasn’t incredibly fond of (though it IS one of the prettiest hardbacks on my bookshelf).
I was kindly provided with an ARC by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ↠ Publisher: Feiwel & Friends (USA) Macmillan’s Children’s Books / Pan Macmillan (UK) ↠ Title: ‘Renegades’ (Book 1 in the Renegades Duology) But Nova’s allegiance is to the villains who have the power to end them both As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice–and in Nova. Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone…except the villains they once overthrew. The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies–humans with extraordinary abilities–who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. So long as there are heroes in this world, there’s hope that tomorrow might be better.” No matter how bad things get, we have to remember that. “There are many dangerous people in this world.
