Renegades by Marissa Meyer

5.0

Clever world, well thought out. I didn't expect to get in to this book, much less to like it, but here we are. We know Marissa Meyer can write. We've seen it before. I'm always up for trying a superhero story, so Renegades was naturally on my list.

Nightmare (Nova) lost her family when she was very young. She was raised by her uncle, known to the world as Ace the leader of the Anarchists. When Ace fell on the night the Renegades took the upper hand over the lawless society that surrounded the rise of heroic powers, the rest of the Anarchists took up as Nova's family. Now Nova is 18 and she wants revenge on the man who killed her uncle and let her family die at the hands of a thug back in the bad old days. The day she tries to exact revenge she chokes. But her family has another plan.

Nova infiltrates the Renegades and our second point-of-view character, Adrian, becomes her team leader. Nova and Adrian lived different lives after their parents died the night that the Anarchists fell. They see the Renegades in different ways. This is the story of their team-up.
