But after the first few chapters, somewhere it all started to fall. I was broken up about it, but also so thoroughly impressed. The opening of this book and Nova's introduction (or backstory) was bold and heart-wrenching. Nova is a very well written and developed character. She's one of those writers who captures the strength that female characters can have and deserve and I have always loved her for that.

Her characters in so many ways have been so well developed and beautiful. She's got a great many strengths when it comes to her capabilities as a writer and I've always been thrilled to read her work. Meyer's writing is powerful I'll give her that. Not only is Meyer my favorite author, but she is an incredible writer and has always, without fail, managed to weave some quite impressive and addicting stories for my reading pleasure in the past in the past. This was largely on account of the fact that I, to an incredibly high and likely very personal degree, feel as though Marissa Meyer deserves so much more than a three-star rating for any book that she's written. I'll just be here, rereading it over and over and over.Though I'd been incredibly excited for this novel at the start, had excitedly rushed home from Barnes and Noble with my purchase-happily having been informed by the salesclerk that this book was actually a very popular one-I had a lot of trouble rating Renegades by Marissa Meyer.

So yeah, this is my favorite book I've read all year. I'm so sad I finished it.Īlso little conspiracy: some people say Lady Indomitable could have been on her way to save Nova's family when she died. I literally can't describe how much I loved this much. Also, Adrian is so likable, like he's smart, courageous, would die for who he loves. There's a whole paragraph about Adrian saying how brave Nova is. It's because it's not a stupid cheesy romance based on looks- they're actually smart and love and want to protect each other. Then Nova opened up about her family's death and Adrian relating and the star? I devoured it all. The scene in the room Adrian painted for her dream. Nova and Adrian is the most perfect couple I have ever known.

Speaking of loved ones, 😏 let's talk about the romance-probably the best part. The whole reason Nova is an Anarchist is because her family died and she love her uncle. Honestly the root of everyone's problem is the loss of loved ones, which is pretty sad. The sides and motives made me understand both the Anarchists and the Renegades. the character dynamics and arcs in this book- the characters overall, so much better than the first book. Whyyyyyy don't make me resort to fanfiction Marissa Meyer!Īnyways let's get to why I liked this book. So I sped through this (took me 10 days to finish but I didn't read it most of the time) Now I am sad there is only one more book in the series.
