Review: Renegades by Marissa Meyer

1/27/2019

       It’s been SO LONG since I’ve posted a review for all of you beautiful readers out there, so today I’m bringing you a review of the Renegades Audiobook. I’ve been listening to audiobooks during art class this past semester, and throughout the past two weeks, I’ve been able to squeeze more and more listening into my schedule. I am excited to discuss it!

       I’ve been a long-time Marissa Meyer fan after reading the Lunar Chronicles three years ago, so when this gem popped up on my Libby search, I knew I had to place a hold on it. Marissa’s writing style, character development, and sense of humor are something I always look forward to in her books, and Renegades was no exception. The story translated better than I could’ve hoped through audio since the two points of view were read by different narrators.

       This book is also the first one I’ve read set in a fictitious superhero world, so the perspective was unique. Since I got to hear the point of view of the supposed “hero” and “villain,” Marissa created a conflict inside me as the reader (listener). Who was I rooting for? What did I want the outcome to be? It was interesting to see Nova and Adrian’s relationship develop through the book. I also liked how even though superheroes were in charge of the city, there were still flaws in the government; it gave the book a little bit of a dystopian feel. There were a few comic book clichés used to tell this story, but I thought they added to the story rather than detract from it. (Of course, you’ll have to read the book to find out exactly what they are. ☺️)

       Overall, I’m glad I got to read more from Marissa Meyer. There wasn’t anything about this book that disappointed; it was filled with action, romance, deception, and everything else I expected from one of her books. 

       I’m trying out a shorter form of reviews here so that I will be able to post them more often. Let me know in the comments if you would like longer, in-depth reviews, or if I should stick to these “quick thoughts.”

Your Renegade at heart.

       Secret Identities. Extraordinary Powers. She wants vengeance. He wants justice.
       The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies — humans with extraordinary abilities — who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone... except the villains they once overthrew.
       Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she 
meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice — and in Nova. But Nova's allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.
