I loved how this series ended. I was so invested through out this whole book waiting for the pin to drop where everyone knows who is who and what is happening.
This book and the series as a whole does a fantastic job or morally grey thinking. How different people can want the same outcome but can go at it at different angles. It also highlights how people can be idolise and not live up to the pedestal with put them on or how we will morph who they really are to fit out image and ignore evidence that contradicts it.
The ending was a surprise as I was expecting it but not the twist. The epilogue just hurt and now I need another book to resolve that.

I really enjoyed this series and hope that others can sit down and really take in how well this is written and the topics that it tackles and how they are brought up.

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.)

while the other books are about perspective, getting to know both sides, supernova is all about decision and consequences. 
Marissa Meyer wrote such interesting characters in a grey world where people try to see everything in black and white. and i will say that it has been a while since the last time plot twists actually surprised me.
and with everything out in the open now, things get ugly and cruel and there were times i was holding my breath, expecting the worst. 
it was truly a really nice trilogy, loved it.
