I was hooked from the start with this book. I found the main characters to be people I could root for. The pacing was also good. I never felt like things were too drawn out or too rushed. THE ENDING caught me so off guard! I can’t wait to keep reading.

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 really enjoyed Renegades, the writing was brilliant and i loved the characters and world building. I did however find that not much happened in the plot so i’m hoping more happens in the next ones :) Overall, i really loved it!

Overall, I felt like this book checked a lot of the needs of a superhero fantasy book. The powers and characters kept you drawn in throughout the book. I loved the variety of powers and talents throughout the cast of characters, it was nice to see a variety of powers from controlling insects to manipulating poisons. Another amazing thing about this book is how the main character is a woman, it's hard to find modern-day superhero stories that follow a woman. Overall, I loved the plot and idea of the book more than the writing, the writing style was a little basic and easy to follow but it was not terrible. I have a couple of problems throughout this book, like I said the writing style was a little bland so it was hard to be drawn into the stories sometimes. There was also quite a bit of confusion throughout the book, I feel like the cast of characters was too big. I felt like the inclusion of five people on the Renegades council made it confusing to follow, and it didn't feel like they added anything to the story. I feel like the storyline would have flown better if Caption Chromium was the only council member, possibly including Dread Warden because of his relationship with Nova. Ultimately, it was an entertaining, vibrant superhero story about a young mysterious woman who trying to find her footing in a world of chaos and confusion.
