Plot: The Renegades are a group of syndicate with supernatural abilities. The main protagonists Nova hates renegades and she wants vengeance and she has a reason to do so. Her father is an important character as he’s the one responsible for most of the circumstances created. There are people who wants to kill him and there are people who wants to save him. In between of all this Nova meets a renegades Adrian who doesn’t believe in vengeance but trust that justice can be served to guilty party. Nova also has some allegiance with a very powerful person who has the ability to make an end to all this.
Renegades by Marissa Mayer deals with the issues of justice vs vengeance in a set of YA dystopian SFF. If supernatural and dystopian is your type this book has plenty to offer specially with its intriguing world. The supernatural part of the book has been well thought out its consistent throughout the book. Marissa Mayer knows when to pull back and when to release the full scope in the dystopian setting. The characters are well thought out, you can relate to their good and bad. The diversity in terms of characters has also been taken very elegantly. Some YA SFF lack the diversity in their characters but not Renegades. Being an YA book you got to have romance. The book has some hit and miss romance but don’t expect too much as this is the first book in the series and the character are still being build.
Overall Renegades is a good read specially if you like SFF plus the second book is out too. So go grab a copy and enjoy the journey.
