Amazing book. I came into this series with mixed expectations. I’ve loved Marissa’s other series, but I have also heard disappointing things about Renegades. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the small bits of romance that were sprinkled throughout. Absolutely loved everyone on Sketch’s team. However, Max was my absolute favorite. Finding out about the ending of book 1 was a roller coaster. I can’t wait to see how the plot will continue in book 2.

Going into this I wasn't sure what to expect. I love the Lunar Chronicles by Meyer but have been hesitant to pick up her other works for some unknown reason. I fear no more. This book has me hook, line, and sinker.
I love everything about this story. There is a lot of complex and compelling characters, which look at the concept of good and evil and what really makes someone a hero or villain. It is a hard topic to approach as everyone is different and the world is not always black and white as is often given to us in books and media in general. There is so much to this world and it is a breath of fresh air compared to the black and white storytelling that books are accustomed to.
The characters are also a lot of fun. There are so many fun and unique designed characters. Each person feels different in personality and powers from one another, even going as far as having different moral compasses the dictate their actions.
I cannot wait to continue this series and see where this series takes me, and how it will continue to tackle the topic of right versus wrong.

I love the politics and the fact how well-thought out the setting and the backstory is. This is a typical but unique superhero setting with interesting characters and plot lines. Although it has some good old cliches, I found myself not intrigued or surprised by the plot. Although I really liked seeing the perspective of both sides of the story, which compensated for repetitive plot twists. I love the chemistry between the characters and how the story is diverse, with LGBTQ+ community, POC, and disabled representation. The romance sprinkles were much appreciated throughout the book. If you love superhero comics than you will like this. And please let me Mary Nova, cause she is GOAT, GOALD SILVER and any other pretty useful commodity. I really liked her as a main character. The book is definitely almost in my favorites. Great work Marissa! <3
