As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justiceand in Nova. But Novas allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.Praise for Renegades:A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Winter 20172018 Kids Indie Next List SelectionIn a vividly dark and fully imagined universe where special abilities are feared unless they can be strictly controlled and labeled, Meyer celebrates and subverts popular superhero tropes while mining the gray area between malevolence and virtue. Thirdperson narration builds suspense as it shifts between Nova and Adrian, a Renegade with his own secrets; the worldbuilding details and many combat sequences will captivate devotees of superhero comics. Beyond the capes and masks is a strikingly grounded story of starcrossed wouldbe lovers, deception, and the recognition that most of humanity exists between the extremes of good and evil.Publishers Weekly, starred reviewTackles a familiar genre in a brand new way.Hypable.comA fully realized new world with compelling characters and just enough edgeofyourseat action to rival the biggest onscreen adaptation.BustleExciting. . . . Perfect for your Fall #TBR list.PopSugar.comEven reluctant fans of hero fantasies will fall for the smart plot and wonderful worldbuilding. Prepare to fangirl. Justine MagazineMeyer delivers a balance between intricate worldbuilding and fastpaced action sequences. Novas childhood tragedy will draw sympathy from readers as they watch her integrate into the group of Renegades in order to seek vengeance. Backstabbing, plot twists, and hidden agendas will have readers turning pages in an attempt to discover the truth.School Library JournalMeyer smartly refrains from focusing totally on Adrian and Novas potential romance and instead fleshes the characters out as separate individuals with flaws and strengths, regrets and desires. . . .The world is exceptionally well crafted, particularly the complex backstory of the rise of prodigies among humans, and the secondary cast of villains and heroes could give Marvel and DC a run for their money. Theres a lot going on here besides cool names and superpowers, and the book earns both its hefty page count and its expected sequel.BCCB, RecommendedDont miss these other books from #1 New York Times and USA TodayBestselling author Marissa Meyer:The Lunar Chronicles:CinderScarletCress WinterStars AboveFairestThe Lunar Chronicles Coloring BookWires and Nerve: Vol. 1Wires and Nerve: Vol. 2Renegades:Renegades: Book OneHeartless
