I enjoyed this series as a whole, but this book took me an extremely long time to finish. Thankfully, I was able to borrow the audiobook from Libby and read half of it like that. There were so many revelations that left me with my jaw on the floor. I wish I hadn’t gotten the epilogue spoiled by the wiki but I still liked it. I think the main reason I got into a reading slump was because of how long the book was rather than the content. My favorite scene was the Puppeteer’s speech. Absolutely heartbreaking and shocking. Never expected to read that type of scene in a Marissa Meyer book. Outstanding execution (no pun intended).

THAT FREAKING ENDING!!!!! I can’t believe she left us with that plot twist right in the epilogue!
It’s been a while since I read Renegades and Archenemies, but it was easy to fall back into the superheroes world. I’ve always been a fan of those stories, and Marissa Meyer wrote this one brilliantly. The story kept surprising me.
It’s not perfect, and it relies a little too much on romance as “stronger than anything else”, but it was very entertaining. I’m glad I finally finished this trilogy. Kinda wish there was a spin-off following that epilogue though 😅

Supernova was an excellent conclusion to the Renegades trilogy. It had twists and turns that allowed the characters to change and grow to their “final form,” so to speak. One of the aspects of Supernova, in particular, was how the pacing matched its previous installments, but seemed slower and more philosophical.
Renegades was the iconic superhero book with action and a twinge of romance. Archenemies dove into the complexities of Nova’s newfound emotions and her changing perception of what was good and what was evil. Supernova is a question of morality, leaders in society, and what happens when power passes between hands. I noticed that there were multiple instances where someone was having a monologue of sorts that questioned power. I didn’t mind the monologues — they made me review my own perceptions of good and evil — but they made the pace slow down while adding value to it.
This is just a matter of preference -of-genre, but I wish that there had been more personal or intimate moments between Adrian and Nova. Alongside the battle scenes, a resolution of their romantic subplot — continuous or stopped — could’ve given readers a better sense of finalization and cleared space for the depth of the fight scenes.
All in all, Supernova gets a 5/5 star rating because of how it sums up not only its own story, but the Renegades trilogy as a whole. I liked how it toed the line between good and evil, the powerful and the powerless; and how it kept the different plots in line.

WHAT AN ENDING!! This book was the perfect ending to this series, this book satisfied all of my needs. The overall series was alright, for me a little mediocre but still amazing. I love how much we've seen Nova grow throughout the series and her constant internal struggles with where she stands. It was also great to see how far Nova and Adrian came into their relationship, ALSO, thank god Oscar finally kissed Ruby they are amazing. I appreciate how the reader feels a deep connection with every character, from the Puppeteer to Captain Chromium, but still know and be interested in the two main characters story. My one falter of this book were the first 100-150 pages were quite boring and I wished Marissa titled which chapter is in whos perspective. It was quite confusing to differentiate between Nova and Adrian's chapters. Overall, this series was enjoyable and the ending of the last book was truly breathtaking.
