Thoughts:   "Renegades" by Marissa Meyer was an exhilarating read that completely hooked me from the start to the end. The characters are incredibly well-developed, especially Nova and Adrian, whose conflicting perspectives and evolving relationship kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved how Meyer blurs the lines between heroes and villains, truly amazing, making me question what truly defines good and evil. The world-building is fantastic, and the action-packed plot kept me turning pages late into the night. Overall, it's a thought-provoking and thrilling, super satisfied take on the superhero genre that I highly recommend.

Review:  

Plot Summary:   In the fasicinating world of "Renegades," superheroes, or Prodigies, have cleaned up the mess left by an age of anarchy. Nova Artino, aka Nightmare, isn't thrilled about this. Shes got a serious bone to pick with the Renegades, the superhero team she blames for her family's tragety . Enter Adrian Everhart, a Renegade with a secret identity and a thirst for justice. Nova infiltrates the Renegades, determined to bring them down from the inside. Naturally, things get complicated when sparks fly between her and Adrian, making her vengeful mission a bit more... awkward.

Review:   Marissa Meyer crafts a world where the line between hero and villain is more blurred than your vision after a long Netflix binge. The setting is richly detailed, showing a society patched together by superhumans, each with their own quirks and questionable decisions. Nova is a fantastic anti-hero, driven by a dark past and a deep need for vengeance, yet strangely relatable (who hasnt wanted to take down an oppressive regime?). Adrian, the Renegade with a heart of gold and a closet full of secrets, adds depth and charm to the story. Their relationship is a roller coaster of tension and hidden identities, keeping you hooked like the latest reality TV drama. The plot is packed with action, suspense, and a sprinkle of moral dilemmas that make you wonder if you would side with the heroes or the villains. Spoiler: its harder to decide than you think.

Conclusion:   "Renegades" is a wild, fun ride through a world where superheroes are not always what they seem. Meyer delivers a story with dynamic characters, thrilling plot twists, and enough moral ambiguity to keep you pondering long after youve put the book down. If you love superhero tales with a twist and enjoy a good dose of humor mixed with your action, "Renegades" is a must-read. Plus, who doesnt love a good "enemies-to-maybe-not-enemies" storyline? Dive in and enjoy the chaos!
