Renegades

Renegades, Book 1

De: Marissa Meyer

Narrado por: Dan Bittner, Rebecca Soler

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Meyer delivers a balance between intricate world-building and fast-paced action sequences." (School Library Journal)

"In 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." (Publishers Weekly)

That Ending

I listened to this on the audiobook and the narrators are ok.

I liked the conflict of ideals in this book, as I usually tend to.
I also liked diversity of characters and powers.

Our main chars, however, I felt pretty meh about, especially Adrian, as he felt a little bit too much like a "perfect boy". Also, his powers feels way too OP to me. Nova, as well, made some decisions that I don't really understand.

I also didn't appreciate that the obvious villains are oh so very eviiil (looking at you, icy gang)🙄

That ending, though?! I continued on with the second book at once.
