Critic Reviews

"Many times in audiobooks with multiple narrators and multiple characters, the narrators have individual takes on how each person should sound, and it can be distracting. That is not the case here, as the narrators are in perfect sync. They make the transitions from character to character seamless." (AudioFile Magazine)

"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.... Beyond the capes and masks is a strikingly grounded story of star-crossed would-be lovers, deception, and the recognition that most of humanity exists between the extremes of good and evil." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Meyer delivers a balance between intricate world-building and fast-paced action sequences. Nova’s childhood tragedy will draw sympathy from readers as they watch her integrate into the group of Renegades in order to seek vengeance. Back-stabbing, plot twists, and hidden agendas will have readers turning pages in an attempt to discover the truth." (School Library Journal)

My Gosh, You Need to Read this Book

Marissa Meyer has once again delivered a breathtaking series. I loved Renegades from the start but this book was something else. I was repeatedly shocked (in a good way) and the twists and turns of this masterful plot were so surprising I literally gasped aloud at multiple points! I felt for the characters as they went through heartbreak, betrayal, and happiness. Rebecca Solaire is a master reader and makes you feel like the characters are actually talking and not just her reading from the book (I also love that she does some sound effects). Took me a bit to warm up to the guy who reads Adrian’s chapters but eventually I appreciated how he read, too.

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone with a love of superhero’s or someone who just wants an action packed book to read. It’s so rare to get a book that crosses all the boxes of good plot, good characters, lots of action, and makes you feel for the characters and this book checks them all.

The only complaint I have about the book is the epilogue. It’s slightly confused me and made me wonder if they were supposed to be another book but other than that the book is amazing.

SPOILERS! Because I have to talk about the parts that make me gasp and stand at the tips of my toes

- When we found out Adrian actually created Phobia! Woah
- The final battle..just..the entire battle was epic
- Magpie is actually Evie?! Good lord I want another book to just explain that

I’m now going to go into a book slump because nothing is going to be good after this epic book

Ehhh

In some ways I liked it, but the ending left me wondering if another book will come out. I felt like the truth about Adrian and nova was pushed to the very end and then rushed which was annoying.

Great series!

I started this series 2 years ago when it first came out and it’s been a joy to finally finish it. This series had both a great story line and a satisfying ending. It’s refreshing to find a book like that; I’ve been burned by too many series cratering in the final book (cough cough divergent). I enjoyed this an adult but I think this would also be a great read for 6-12th graders.

Amazing Ending!

This is a perfect ending to an awesome trilogy. I finished this book super quick because I never wanted to put it down! These readers along with this author are an amazing combination.

Heck yes! spoilers

Well, that was a an awesomely dark conclusion. You can definitely tell Marissa Meyer's been influenced by the current political/ cultural climate in the US. I'm so glad the final battle scene was epically detailed. When the epilogue started I couldn't understand why the narrator was so bitter again, and then I realized it was Magpie. And THEN I realized it was Evie! Meyer's definitely left this open for a spin-off series or graphic novel. I love Rebecca Soler and Dan Bittner's performances, though I wish the director/ producer would have conferenced with the narrator's to keep a more cohesive voicing between characters.

Solid Ending

Good ending to the series, but the teaser at the end has me thinking! I hope they spin off, because I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

Loved the books

I loved the story line, the characters, and the settings. I think it is a great YA book. 😍

Amazing

I thought this was a great conclusion to a great trilogy. Now I don't know what else to do with my life. Haha.

Great up to the ending

I enjoyed the story up to the ending and epilogue. I won’t spoil anything but I would of liked a bit more content after the grand fight.

Fantastic closing

This was a fantastic slide to a amazing series. An unexpected and truly unforgettable ending!
