Synopsis:
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.
Review:
So, I'd like to start by saying that I thought this was a duology, but as I reached the end of book one and looked at book two sitting on my shelf, I had to double check if there were any more books because I didn't see how things could get wrapped up in just two books. There's a third on listed on Goodreads. So that made a lot more sense.
I really enjoyed this book. I got some serious X-men vibes from the story. But the Renegades seemed more like the Brotherhood at times, and the Anarchists seemed more like the X-men during others, it was an interesting dynamic to the superpowered people story.
I could honestly sympathize with Nova in this book, I understood where her anger came from and felt that she was justified in her anger. I mean, the how and why for it felt justified. But her methods were a bit questionable at times. But I still understand her.
Adrain, he is one of those so noble you almost want to slap them, but also since he is also such a nice person you can't really bring yourself to. He has such resounding faith in the Renegades and being so completely blinded to what they have prevented and only focusing on the small good they have done, he became a really naive character.
So, when I was reading this, thinking it was a duology, I felt that things were moving at an odd pace for book one, but after finding out that it's at least Three books the pacing made more sense. Though I have no idea where things are heading into the second book. Especially with how things ended in this one. I was not expecting that at all.
I am glad to have the second book on hand because I won't have to wait, but then I'll have to wait for book three which doesn't even have a title yet or a predicted release date.
