Nova wants vengeance against the so-called heroes who once failed her when she needed them most. As Nightmare, she is an Anarchist - a group of of villains who are determined to destroy the Renegades. Nova’s double life is about to get a lot more complicated: As Insomnia, she is a fully-fledged member of the Renegades, a syndicate of powerful and beloved superheroes. But Nova’s allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice―and in Nova. Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone. The stories are very different, but there’s a similar vibe and I think you can really tell they’re by the same author.The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies―humans with extraordinary abilities – who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. The action, pacing, and good vs evil aspects of Renegades definitely had some similarities to The Lunar Chronicles.

The ending – WHAT WHAT WHAT!? I totally didn’t see it coming, even if it seemed obvious in hindsight.Something was always happening and every part of the book felt important. The whole book was fast-paced and interesting – It’s a LONG book (over 500 pages), but it was never boring.I also loved how she didn’t use her powers as a crutch and she really believed people could be heroes without them. This largely ties into the previous point because she starts to see a different side to her enemies. The main character, Nova – Nova is kind of a villain and it was awesome to read from her point of view.

It becomes very clear that both groups have both good and evil in them (or at least good intentions that end up having bad results). But I love how the book really blurs the lines and you start to wonder if the Renegades are really good and if the Anarchists are really evil.

How we got to see two different sides – the Renegades and the Anarchists.

It was described very well and I feel like I got a good grasp of the history without it being too overwhelming.

The world building – It was very X-Men-esque.I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. I’m really thrilled because Heartless wasn’t my favourite. But Nova's allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice-and in Nova.

As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone.except the villains they once overthrew. The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies-humans with extraordinary abilities-who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned.
