Loved it. It is so cool! Great way to end the trilogy.
Edit: It’s been months since I finished this and man I didn’t do justice to this review. I still remember the characters and main plot points because I developed such deep connection to this series. The romance and the characters were such beautifully written. I liked everything except the ending I just felt like instead of

everyone getting their powers back and Max being powerless. The author should have made everyone not have any powers to showcase that people can be their own hero without any special abilities.

. I thought it would have ended the story perfectly with setting the power imbalance less noticeable. I felt like that would be the perfect end to the trilogy, since it would fix corrupt and imperfect details in society. But then again I am not the author and I respect Marissa Meyer’s choice, and honestly think that the book turned out regardless of the society coming back to normal. I ship the main characters so much. And the plot twist at the end was so impactful, I honestly would give this book 6/5 just for that plot twist alone. The book was very addicting and filled with so many action scenes, I could never put it down. Honestly, one of my favorite books. and the world building is other-worldly. I would recommend and 107%.

This was a really good ending to the Renegades series! I don’t think it was quite as good as the other two books but it still was wonderful. The three little twists at the end were interesting but did not leave me in complete shock like some of the other twists.

I also found it interesting how Meyer used the same twist for ace and magpie, the actually-not-dead twist. I also wondered if the three twists (evie being magpie, phobia being adrian's creation and ace being evil) were intended from the start of the series. They felt kind of thought of at the last minute but that doesn't diminish their impact! They were great twists! However I didn’t like the ending how everyone got powers, i thought it would be better if no one got their powers back.

. This book was also quite gory with in depth description of mutilation and self mutilation, murder and other dark themes. I really enjoyed this book and read it on a single day, Feb 13th.
