Renegades series. Pan Macmillan, 2019. ISBN: 9781760787394.
(Age: 12+) Highly recommended. Supernova is the long-awaited
conclusion of the Renegades series. Set in a world where
prodigies are rife and the war between good and evil is continuing
to rage; Supernova follows the problematic romance between
an anarchist and a renegade as they try and negotiate a way peaceful
way forward and out of the wars of the past.
Having stolen Ace Anarchy's helmet from the Renegades in the
previous novel, Nightmare's Renegade disguise as Insomnia is growing
increasingly precarious. Unsure how much longer she has as her
good-girl alias, Nova dreads the moment when Adrian will see her for
who she truly is - a villain. Her time with the Renegades is
starting to make her question her own beliefs. Previously a staunch
Anarchist, Nova starts to question if Anarchy is really the solution
to the problems in Galton City.
Adrian's little brother was badly injured during the break-in at
Renegade headquarters and despite his innovative tattoos Adrian
can't let his Dad know he's been to see Max without revealing his
identity as The Sentential. Switching between identities, Adrian is
struggling to keep his secret but knows better than to reveal
himself as the vigilante super-hero. Having idolised the Renegades
his entire life, Adrian finds himself questioning if they are the
great force of good they present themselves as.
Supernova is the perfect combination of superheroes and
star-crossed lovers. An enjoyable novel, I would highly recommend to
lovers of superheroes and dystopian novels. Inevitable dealing with
questions of right and wrong, Marissa Meyer presents arguments for
and against the need for order and leads the reader towards the need
for peaceful non-violent solutions.
