This book tied up a lot of elements that were weaved through the first two books. There were some twists I wasn’t expecting, and some questions that were answered. It was a decent ending to the trilogy.

I always wondered why Meyer chose Honey Harper, a character with control over insects, as one of the main villains, but it made more sense in this book.

The epilogue:

I could tell immediately that the voice was not Nova’s, but it somehow took me until Magpie saying Max was cute to realize whose POV I was reading. I just thought that was really funny. I enjoyed the last chapter being told from her POV instead of Nova’s. It began and ended with Magpie at the parade, which felt like a nice full circle moment. Also, I loved the reveal that Magpie is Evie.

The ending:

Personally, I like the idea that everyone is magic in some way. That ordinary talents- like someone being a good cook, or some else being good at bonding with animals, are actually little signs of magic. However, I find myself wishing that the story had ended with them all losing their powers instead of all being superheroes. I mean doesn’t them all having literal superpowers defeat the purpose? Like anyone can be a hero *without* literal superpowers.

An amazing conclusion to a great series. This book gripped me in a way that didn’t let me put it down, always wanting to turn to the next page.

And that epilogue!! Wowowow

I enjoyed this one a lot, it was a little slow in the beginning/middle but it definitely picked up in the second half of the book (and that ending battle was *chefs kiss*. I wish we’d get more information about that epilogue because wow that was an interesting way to end a book.

I really liked this whole series, but this was by far the best book in the series. I loved the reoccurring themes of morality, villains, heroes, justice, the grey areas in between, how everything is not so black and white, and all the other topics it touched on. Nova was my favourite character and I loved her so much, she was such a strong character and the romance between her and Adrian was well done. I thought the concept, plot, and world building were also great, and there were so many unexpected moments and twists, especially the ending. (I had a prediction for the ending, which kind of ended up happening but it wasnt final and the complete opposite then ended up happening) The first two books I really liked, but this book I loved. This series was so fun to read and it was such a unique concept for books, since for movies superhero movies are really common, but in books there aren't half as many.

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.

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.
