Hello Everyone! My name is Stacy and I’ll be a guest blogger for today! I would like to introduce you guys to Louie. Louie is our rescue dog who loves books! We are reviewing Renegades to celebrate its release tomorrow. Enjoy!!
Synopsis:
Secret Identities.
Extraordinary Powers.
She wants vengeance. He wants justice.
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. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone…except the villains they once overthrew.
Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice―and in Nova. But Nova’s allegiance is to the villains who have the power to end them both.
My Review:
”All revolutions come with death. Some must die so that others might have a life. It is a tragedy, but it is also a truth.”
⚠️ ⚠️ Warning!!! Warning!!! Unpopular opinion is here!!! ⚠️ ⚠️
Just like everyone else I was freaking out to get my hands on an arc copy of this. I stomped my foot, placed my hands on my hips, and cried a cry of a thousand children. My friend picked me up a copy at NYCC and I felt that my life was complete (Sorry, Trent) Like the dark and gloomy sky opened up and shot a rainbow my way.
Then I actually started to read it. It breaks my heart to say that this was way beyond disappointing. I actually frowned the entire time while reading this, frowned!!!
Renegades starts off with a bang, literally. Thirtyish pages in and I was enthralled. It kicked into high-packed action and thought it would be like that throughout. It reached its peak at thirtyish pages and dropped like a rock in a river. It reached its highest point way too early and struggled to pick itself back up.
It was a lot of yakking and a lot less action. You would think for a superhero novel that it was going to be a lot of sabotage, secrets, and karate chops to the throat. (Shaking head and pouting)
Can we all take a minute and talk about The Sentinel? How in the living hell did no one know who this character was? Seriously!? Whenever he appeared, a very prominent member disappeared! Put it together people! My brain throbs just thinking about this!
Renegades disheartened me so much that I would love to have my three days back. Over four hundred pages of superhero clichés and I don’t even want to think about crime fighting for a very long time.
Are you ready for an extremely long and tedious display of so-called Superheroes?
