So so so so GOOD !!!

It's been a while since this book was on my shelves and I finally devoured it !
So great I have no other words to describe it !

I try to recall a book about superheroes but i have none so far. I read the first 3 books in the DC series but let's face it : huge disappointment expect Wonder Woman ^^

Renegades was a breath of fresh air for me : good, interesting, prodigies, super-powers, revenge, friendship, blossoming love interest, betrayal and great plot-twist at the end !

3.5 ⭐️ It is not often that we see an anti hero being the main character of a book and that was probably one of the main reasons why i decided to pick up this book. Overall i really enjoyed the book. I really like Nova’s character and also the team’s, though i have to admit that some things were a little predictable i still really liked it.

Auf dieses Buch von Marissa Meyer hatte ich mich sehr gefreut, denn ich liebe ihre Lunar-Chronicals-Serie! Ich hatte erhofft, sie würde sich wieder einer bekannten Geschichte widmen und sie neu und modern erzählen.

Nun, sie widmet sich durchaus einer bekannten Story: Superhelden treffen auf Superbösewichte, alle haben Superkräfte und… boy meets girl.
Ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass mich das ein wenig enttäuscht hat. Es ist nicht schlecht gemacht. Die Erzählung ist glaubwürdig, in sich relativ logisch, die Charaktere sind nett, es gibt mysteriöse Elemente und ein unerwartetes Ende.

Dennoch.

Zu viel daran erinnerte mich an „Steelheart“ von Brandon Sanderson. Doch wo dieser actionreich und spannend erzählt, wirkt es bei Meyer eher kitschig und belehrend.
Ich kann Novas Motivation für ihre Entscheidungen nicht wirklich nachvollziehen, auch wenn die Autorin den Auslöser sehr eindrücklich schildert. Es wird aber nicht klar, woher sie den Mut nimmt, als Spionin zu arbeiten und wie sie zu ihren plötzlichen Sinneswandlungen kommt. Ihre Emotionen sind zu oberflächlich, zu berechenbar.

„Renegades“ war nett zu lesen, aber wer Superhelden mag, sollte vielleicht doch lieber zu „Steelheart“ greifen.
Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich Band 2 der Serie lesen werde.

It's more a 1.5.

I feel like I've lost time with this book and I hate feeling this way towards any book. It felt extremely generic, I was bored out of my mind the majority of the book, absurdly obvious (everything that happened, I knew was going to happen) and the characters were bland. I've to forced myself to finish it. The worst part's that I have the second one but I ain't excited about reading it —I don't even know if I'm going to read it.

The first bit of this book was… good. However, when I got to about 2/3 I think, of the way through IT WAS AMAZING!!! The story got so intense and interesting, I couldn’t put it down and the secret identity thing was SO fun to go along with. Also the crumbs of romance we get in this book are TO DIE FOR, *chefs kiss* I highly HIGHLY recommend.
