The writing was a little simplistic in characters not recognizing each others’ secrets. I like switching perspectives of course. But the audiobook readers were DREADFUL! Interesting to consider modern political polarization in comparison to their dystopian society.

A lot like a Marvel movie. I don’t think I’ll reread, but I do want to know what happens in the rest of the trilogy.

I hated the ending.

 The world as we know it now doesn't exist. The world is now a mess of jumbled ruins, cities scattered far apart, and secret identities. The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies. Those who have extraordinary abilities. Read that as "superheroes". They rose in power after Ace Anarchy fell to Captain Chromium. Now the world is trying to rebuild itself, and the non-prodigies look to the Renegades for guidance and keeping the peace. Nova, a prodigy with a secret that hides behind her secret identity, must now join the Renegades if she wants vengeance. Adrian, the adopted son of the world's most popular and powerful Renegade, wants justice. And he too has a secret identity that hides more than it seems.

This is the first book in the series, and hearing this on audio was a thrill. The switch between Rebecca and Dan narrating was fantastic. The story that Marissa weaves is enthralling. For anyone who wants to be taken on a grand adventure, this one is for you. For the superhero versus villains trope, this one breaks the mold.
