Essa série é muito boa, eu só demorei pra ler por pura preguiça mesmo. 

Querida Marissa Meyer, tu me deve explicações. Como aquele epílogo. Eu tenho perguntas e quero respostas. Nós agradecimentos tu disse que a série foi terminada, mas e o epílogo, hein?

Representation: Biracial (half white and half Asian) main character
Score: Six points out of ten.

That's it. I reached the end of the trilogy. Well then, it's been a ride to read the entire series with some parts I found more enjoyable than others but here's the recap: Renegades was okay. Archenemies was worse. Supernova was slightly better. As I said before Marissa Meyer is an alright author but not the most consistent but I'm happy to say I enjoyed this one despite its flaws. It starts (more like finishes) with the characters, Nova and Adrian I've come to know now and at this point they need no introduction. I pick up after the events of the second instalment where HQ is in ruins after a war and I also see everyone cleaning up for the first few pages but after that nothing much happens. I must stress the point that I couldn't connect or relate to Nova and Adrian and sometimes it was a struggle to read them, not to mention the other characters didn't help the reading experience either as the writing missed the mark. There was a lot of talk about a new substance called Agent N that removes superpowers from prodigious people and the Renegades would use that to full effect but it already fell in the wrong hands in Archenemies and that happened again so what's the point of using that if it's so dangerous to everyone? Agent N plays a role later in the novel when the Anarchists raid a meeting and in the second half the pace picks up, so much so it's enough to save the story and earn a star (if not for that I would've given it three stars.)

the ending. i am so sad we never got to see an evie and nova reunion. also i didn't like how there wasn't much resolution with the squad and especially adrian and nova. however, i absolutely admire the grace and incredible forgiveness that adrian demonstrates to nova. that won me over. i still am not super invested into their romance, but they are pretty cool characters. i thought it could use more work fleshing out the good vs evil conflict and the issue of moral ambiguity. i also didn't fully understand the whole supernova star thing - i felt that could've been talked about more. the deaths saddened me tho, but mostly callum 🥹 he was the most wholesome renegade ever

overall, this was an exciting conclusion to the renegades trilogy! not perfect, but still good.

I enjoyed this series as a whole, but this book took me an extremely long time to finish. Thankfully, I was able to borrow the audiobook from Libby and read half of it like that. There were so many revelations that left me with my jaw on the floor. I wish I hadn’t gotten the epilogue spoiled by the wiki but I still liked it. I think the main reason I got into a reading slump was because of how long the book was rather than the content. My favorite scene was the Puppeteer’s speech. Absolutely heartbreaking and shocking. Never expected to read that type of scene in a Marissa Meyer book. Outstanding execution (no pun intended).
