This was a really awesome conclusion to the Renegades series! From beginning to end, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat.
What I loved the most about Supernova was the truly epic ending. The last 40% of the book flowed so well, and it felt like one big action sequence while still keeping good pacing. From the battle at the arena to the final fight, it was a huge rollercoaster ride. All of the action was choreographed just right, with enough breaks in the action to not feel overwhelming.
I also really loved the development that we get to see all of our main characters go through by the conclusion. Nova especially has so much growth. The relationships between the characters were great, too, and the dual perspectives made it really interesting to see how Nova and Adrian viewed both each other and the people around them differently.
As always with Marissa Meyer’s writing, the romance was adorable. Nova and Adrian’s relationship is developed so well over the course of the series, even if I have a hard time seeing them being the PDA couple on the parade float in the epilogue. Oscar and Ruby are also such a cute pairing, and I liked the inclusion of the chemistry between Danna and Narcissa.
The continuous stream of prodigies being neutralized made everything seem so dire. Although, one of my only dislikes for this book was everyone getting their powers back at the end. At first, I was upset that everyone was being neutralized, but it started to feel like a poetic ending, especially since one of the big questions for the characters throughout the series is “would the world be better without prodigies?” So, everyone regaining their powers or gaining powers for the first time wasn’t exactly the ending I was hoping for.
The only other thing that I wasn’t too huge a fan of was Nova’s star. I mainly just found it kind of confusing, especially the explanation of how it was hidden in Nova. But I did like the way it came into play during the ending.
I’m honestly disappointed that this series is over, especially after revealing that Magpie is Nova’s sister in the epilogue. It makes a lot of sense - the way they bicker is very much how siblings bicker, even if they don’t know they’re sisters - and now I really want to know if they ever find out and what will end up happening to Magpie.
Supernova was definitely my favorite of the series, followed by Renegades and then Archenemies. A fitting conclusion to this super epic series!

Either way, that’s simply me being nit picky.
Otherwise, this series was absolutely amazing from start to finish. though a bit hectic at times, i loved the world building, message and characters. Definitely would recommend this to any YA fan.
(note: the 4 stars isn’t for the epilogue!! the missing star mostly came from the slight back-and-forth-ness confusion of the third book)
