Book Review: Renegades by Marissa Meyer (Renegades Book 1)

 


    After Nova's parents and baby sister are killed by a gang during the age of anarchy she is taken in by her uncle, Ace. Although her parents had been promised the protection of the Renegades they weren't there when they needed them the most. Since then she lived with the Anarchists who just wanted everyone to live in the open and be able to do what they wanted. In order to do this the Renegades and the council must fall. After a failed assassination attempt new extremes must be taken. The biggest risk is a change in perspective. 

    I impulse started this book on the Libby app. I was looking for a young adult superhero like book and I found it here. I thought the entire book was going to be a anti-hero theme. We follow a typical bad "guy", who in this case is a teenage girl, through her origin story and going undercover to take down the good guys. I enjoyed this book and will likely read the other books in the series at some point. This is one of those audiobooks that are read by both male and female narrator as it switches between Anarchist, Nova, and Renegade, Aiden. 

     There were twists in the book that I expected and that I didn't expect. Personally, the more unexpected a book is the more exciting. Especially when you read a lot some things seem consistent even if they are intended as surprises. I can understand the main character's point of view and they are relatable instead of just being someone to be locked up and put away. All of the "bad" guys in this book have a soft side that makes them more human. 

    I don't have any complaints with this book and wonder how Nova will continue to develop as the series continues. 

    This book is available on Amazon for $9.99 by clicking here. This book is available on Kindle Unlimited.
