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 😅

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.

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.
