Renegades by Marissa Meyer
4.0
8/10
A good YA about superheroes with a touch of romance
Pros:
- This is a great superhero story for kids. The powers are basic but interesting (especially the bees) and I liked the villains especially
- Everyone's motives are understandable and not just black/white
- The main character and all the others are solid, though the one group of evil law-abiders are very cliche evil guys. I would have liked them to be a little more complex than just "I do bad stuff in the name of good"
Cons:
- I didn't enjoy the romance. It felt very forced and awkward when it came to dialogue
- As an adult, I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have as a teen
Overall, this is a great book for teens, especially fans of superheroes. (It felt similar to Invincible but PG). I recommend it.
