Supernova: 4/5 


  “Everyone has a nightmare.” He pressed his forehead against hers. “Maybe I want you to be mine.”

The third and final book to the Renegades Trilogy ended with a bang. Supernova is the best in the series! This incredible finale is full of emotion, development, and a killer plot.

Premise:
Tensions between the Renegades and the Anarchists are at an all-time high. While Nova struggles to decipher right from wrong, the threat of Agent N is descending upon all prodigies. Still trying to keep their identities secret, Adrien and Nova try to stop an all-out war while being on separate sides.


  “One cannot be awed who has no soul. Just as one cannot be brave who has no fear.”

Writing & Plot:
The first part of this book is 100% action, and it slows down towards the middle but picks back up at the end. I find this case with a lot of YA fantasy, and the ending was so epic that the middle didn't bother me much.

This book doesn't only have an incredible plot, but it comments on prison reform, abuse of power, worker's rights, and more. It was written extremely well in a world similar to our own, yet so different. The whole premise is very morally grey which was a struggle, but at the same time, it makes the book so much more complex and endearing. 

On the other hand, I guessed the final plot twist from the first book. It is a bit predictable but still enjoyable all the same.


  "What if the lines weren’t so clearly drawn? What if she wasn’t either a hero or a villain? What if she was both?"

Characters:
Previously, I had issues with Nova's character since I thought her motivations were pretty weak, but we get to see the manipulation she went through in this installment. There is a final scene in Supernova where we see Nova getting pulled every which way from the people she cares f0r. I feel like I understood her better in this installment, but at the same time, she believes anything that she's told. 

There were some eye-rolls in this book, especially at the end, where I felt like Nova wasn't as strong as she usually is. 

Adrien shined in this final installment. He has been excellent throughout the entire series. Still, as he "sees" more and more of Nova and learns more about her, he increasingly gets more complex and overall is a more enjoyable character with every sentence. 

Finally, I wish we got more Oscar x Ruby content.

Conclusion:
Supernova is a fantastic conclusion to the Renegades Trilogy. Meyer sets up a spinoff series through the epilogue, and if it ever sees the light of day, I will 100% be reading it. Although some pieces weren't the best, overall, the story is fantastic and is worth the read.

I KNEW IT. i fucking knew it. and i need a spin-off or i will die

 At first I was a bit sceptical about this final part of the Renegades series by Marissa Meyers, but hooooly shit.

We, of course, knew that Nova = Nightmare and Adrian = Sentinel but they didn't know this from each other so I was very afraid this book would have a massive miscommunication trope. But it didn't :D.

The first part was very confusing, but the final battle was so good I loved how they were like "no more heroes, no more villains".

But I really want to talk about the epilogue. Adrian and Nova, Ruby and Oscar, and even Danna and Narcissa all got their happily ever afters, love that for them, but the epilogue was written from the pov of Maggie? Who had a bullet in her pocket? Because she survived an attack as a baby? MAGGIE = EVIE???

I am confusion. America explain. 

It was a phenomenal ending.

           THE LAST CHAPTERS WERE THE BEST IVE READ IN A LONG TIME. THE ACTION AND THE WHOLE FIGHT SCENE AND REVEAL! Omg amazing! AND THE EPILOGUE! GEEZUS! SO DOES THAT MEAN MAGPIE IS EVIE! SO EVIE’S ALIVE?! I need more, she better release more about this! Anyway I’m still shook imma need some time to calm down.

Rachel Kanyid

I really enjoyed the conclusion to this series!!

Ana Paula

This whole series is amazing.

Honestly.

I had never read a superhero-villain story before, not in that comic DC/Marvel way. But after reading this ones, if anyone knows similar ones let me know! Because I LOVED them.

The first two I read last year in less than a week, this one took me a little longer because I had to get hooked on the story again... Reconnect with the characters, and I did. Even with those I hadn't really liked that much at first.

My one and only wish for this series is for it to be done.
There's absolutely no need for a fourth book, be it the same storyline with a different main character or not.

(A POSSIBLE SPOILER) 
Magpie gets to share her p.o.v in the epilogue, and there's almost space for her to get a book... But, personally, I would hate for that to happen.

Was that it for the ending?? I would've like to see more of the aftermath from the big battle especially Nova and Adrian's relationship in the end but whatever. Wtf was that epilogue??

I feel like I would've liked it more if I was into the genre of superheroes and action but overall, it was an entertaining series

Juste incroyable j’ai pas les mots. J’avais déjà adorée les tomes 1 et 2, mais là on passe à un niveau encore supérieur ! Ce tome est vraiment au dessus de lot et forme une conclusion parfaite pour cette trilogie.

Cette histoire m’aura vraiment fait vibrer, et cette épilogue…mais que dire ! C’est un plot-twist, clairement. Sauf que pour le coup, on n’aura pas d’histoire ou de révélation sur ce dernier personnage.

En tout cas ravie que se soit un « happy ending » pour les protagonistes, vraiment. Car faire une fin tragique aurait certe pu être adapté, je pense que je me suis tellement attachée aux personnages et à cette univers que ça aurait vraiment été compliqué de surmonter ça !
Sans conteste cette saga rentre dans mes lectures préférées !

a few months later: i've bumped this rating down since i read it from 5 stars immediately, to 4 a few hours later, to 3 stars about 2 weeks later, and now,,,,,,, 2 stars. this ain't it. i'm leaving my original review below but yeah i think reading this trilogy completely solidified for me that i'm done with het YA (unless someone explicitly recs it to me) bc this was such a waste of time and emotions lol.

------

after finishing this and letting my emotions settle a little, i think i had two things i looked back on and was like "hmm" about (i put them below under spoiler tags), so i feel like i can't rate it a full 5 stars even though part of me wants to. also maybe it was my own fault, but i kept looking back at the cover waiting for a scene like that to happen and it distracted me a few times? (WHY DID IT NEVER HAPPEN? WHERE IS NOVA WITH LIGHTNING BOLTS COMING OUT OF HER HANDS ...)

that being said, this book was FAST. PACED. considering it was the same length as the first book, which took me a MONTH to get through, this went by in a flash. so much happened, and it kept me guessing, wondering what would happen next, and i really liked it, i couldn't put it down.

i'm kind of sad it's over tbh because i really enjoyed reading this trilogy and loved all the characters so much. except ace. FUCK that guy.

one thing that bothered me: (view spoiler)[the moral dilemma with all the characters felt kind of ... forgotten in this book. or at the very least, not really discussed anymore? that ending erased any good v evil discussion entirely!? and this felt ESPECIALLY highlighted with nova in this book. nova, in jail, crying but still being like "i've been framed~" was like. wtf you doin girl? and then later on when she tells ace about the bracelet i LITERALLY put my hand to my head and was like "oh my god why" ... she had a perfect opportunity at the SEVENTY PERCENT MARK to start to show signs of Doubt.gif but she DIDN'T. that was so incredibly frustrating i started to get annoyed with her until she killed honey, but that was like. the 90 fuckin percent mark. my dudes.

i wish we'd seen the emotional impact with nova sooner, and we'd seen what's on the cover of this book or something, nova with the electricity coming out of her hand. that doesn't happen, and i wanted her to fight more. i wanted her to have a moment where she could say "no, enough, i'm fixing this for everybody" which is why the scene with her saying no to ace in the tower but then IMMEDIATELY GIVING AWAY CRITICAL INFO was such a letdown. stand up, girl? wtf???

nova was the unique character that had the influence from both sides, she was the one character that had the capacity for compassion for everybody. the only other character that could have had that was adrian, but it was never taken there. nova's platform felt ... super wasted to me. i'm disappointed.  (hide spoiler)]

the other thing: (view spoiler)[while this book was so fast paced in a good way, it also gave me whiplash a few times, and i felt a bit exhausted by it at the 50% point like "where is this gonna still go/what was the point of the first 50% if that's undone now?" and that frustrated me a bit. looking back, i kind of can't help but feel like ... that could have been part of book 2, and so much in book 1 and 2 could have been cut out instead. idk. it read SO fast, so it didn't linger, but still. i think overall this series suffers a bit with pacing issues. it's not a huge detracting factor for me ... but looking over it as a whole, it is there. so idk. (hide spoiler)]

the more i sit on this and look back, the more holes i find and the more this turns into swiss cheese. i'm conflicted with my rating tbh bc actually ... it's probably lower than 4 stars, i keep thinking of criticisms. but idk i think if i think only about my enjoyment level while reading, that was really high, so i'm leaving my rating at 4 stars. trying to suspend my more critical reader mind here, bc it IS essentially a silly superhero story, lol.

Ashley Wendt

An enjoyable series. No perfect, not completely original, but it was enjoyable. It was a fun series to read!

Catarina Freitas

4.5 
I guessed it … I just can’t believe the series ended like that… please please i need at least a novella after /that/

Ilona Labská 

The last book of Renegades was probably the best. I was surprised how Marissa Meyer made all those twists and turns incredibly interesting and captivating. The perfect ending of the series. I am looking forward to reading her next series.

Nicole

That epilogue was just rude after all I went through with this book.

Nicole Dykeman

This trilogy is hands down the best of Marissa Meyer’s work and more people should be talking about it. I’m in love with the world and the cast of characters. I’ll definitely be picking this up for a reread in the future.

** spoiler alert **
           i have so, so many things to say. so many topics in this book that i would like to dissect but i am in no mood to talk about them all. my frustration boils down on the idea of heroism and the fact that the council is still standing. if society were to be changed, the chain of command needs to change too. it would be far more meaningful if the council falls alongside with Ace, and that superpowers no longer exist or at the very least, the renagades should be no more. they are part of the problem too.

arwa 

mind. blown. the perfect ending of the trilogy, it was everything i expected and nothing i expected at the same time, in the best way possible. i saw nothing coming and i think that’s what it made it so good? it was amazing, had me on my toes the whole time. this book was amazing and i love love loved it.

IMAGINA EL MEJOR FINAL QUE SE LE PUEDE DAR A UNA SAGA Y MULTIPLÍCALO POR MIL, AHÍ ESTÁ SUPERNOVA.

Es brutal este libro, es todo lo que está bien en este mundo. Y LOS PLOT-TWIST no puedes haberlos acertado todos, es imposible.

Casi MUERO cuando dijeron quién era Fobia, o sea, quedé, durante TODA la trilogía llevaba hacieno teorías sobre su identidad y TODAS ERAN INCORRECTAS, TODAS.

Realmente no sé ni qué decir, tendré que volver a leer el epílogo porque no sentí nada, tipo, me metían prisa para que lo acabara y simplemente no lo disfruté como se podría haber disfrutado.

LLLlkasjkddfsfdkljdafladfsldasfadsfkj creo que todos estamos de acuerdo en que🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐NOVA🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
O sea, sííííí. SON MONÍSIMOS.

Me pasé medio libro llorando y el otro medio creando teorías absurdas —lo siento Lena porque hayas tenido que soportarlas— PERO YO SÉ QUE NOVA ES LADY BUG Y ADRIAN ES CAT NOIR. LO SÉ.

En resúmen este libro es maravilloso y lo mejor del mundo. Se lleva cinco estrellas súúúúúper merecidas, y yasta. No sé qué más decir. Nunca voy a ser capaz de transmitir todo lo que me hizo sentir.

Así que, quiero agradecerle a mi amiga Lena—la misma que me arrastró dentro de la biblioteca para comprar Archienemigos— por decirme en francés que Renegados era un enemies-to-lovers aunque no lo sea del todo. Por arrastrarme dentro de una librería y forzarme a pagar un libro. Por obligarme a parar de leer Supernova y releer post-its de Renegados y Archienemigos para que sintiera el 🛐🛐 hacia Nova que merece. Por insistir en que disfrutara de todas las sensaciones que transmite esta trilogía porque nunca la voy a poder leer como la primera vez. Toda la sensación de leer tanto Renegados, Archienemigos como Supernova fue muchísimo mejor por estar comentando, riendo, odiando, llorando, y haciendo teorías juntas.

En fin, creo que Callum se ha apoderado de mí justo ahora, but well.

Goodbye.

Pd: Siento no haber llorado en el epílogo, juro que lloré durante todo lo demás <3

IMAGINA EL MEJOR FINAL QUE SE LE PUEDE DAR A UNA TRILOGÍA Y MULTIPLÍCALO POR UN MILLÓN. ESO NO ESTÁ NI CERCA DE SUPERNOVA.

No sé ni cómo comenzar a describir todo lo que este libro me hizo sentir —esa rimaaaaa— hay tantos sentimientos ahora mismo en mí... 

Me pasé la mitad del libro llorando y la otra mitad creando teorías absurdas que mi amiga tuvo que soportar —lo siento, por cierto—.

Siento que tendría que releer el epílogo, me estaban metiendo prisa y siento que no fui capaz de sentir todo lo que tenía que sentir durante esas últimas páginas.

Creo que todos podemos estar de acuerdo en que 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐NOVA🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

Realmente este libro lo tiene todo, y son cinco estrellas súúúúper merecidas, lo leí súper poco tiempo comparado con Renegados —que tiene más páginas sin embargo es más delgado, cosa que sigo sin comprender—, se me hizo súper ligero y rápido de leer y literalmente me sentaba y rato despuués ya había avanzado 200 páginas.

Y, no es por nada —mentira, sí es, y por mucho—, pero LOS PLOT-TWISTS o sea hubo una parte en la que iba plot-twist detrás de otro, morías, ¿entiendes?

Y cuando descubrí quién era Fobia, fue como asklkjldfsakjdfsakljadskljñdkljasdfkljasdfklj eskiusmi? O sea, tantas teorías que hice y todas falsas. Y lo peor es que tiene MUCHO sentido, tipo, ¡es relatibamente fácil de adivinar! #indignación

Porque yo sé, que todo está basado en LadyBug y que Nova es Lady Bug, y que Adrian es Cat Noir y que Fobia al ser lepidóptero tiene que ser el padre de Adrian —aunque, then again, Lepidóptero es tñecnicamente el malo malísimo así que sería Ace (quien desde el principio me cayó MUY mal, o sea, a mí a Adrian no me lo tocas).

Aunque me faltó ese momento NOVA, en el que se viera todo el crecimiento de Nova durante la trilogía. Eso fue lo único que me flaqueó un poco.

Y quería darle las gracias a mi amiga Lena; por haberme dicho en francés en el medio del campo de fútbol que Renegados era un enemies-to-lovers, por haberme empujado y arrastrado dentro de una librería y haberme hecho pagar Archienemigos, por haberme obligado a parar de leer Supernova y releer post-its de Archienemigos y Renegados cuando no sentía ese 🛐🛐 que Nova merece, por haberme aguantado mientras hacía mis maravillosas teorías y no haberme tirado el bolígrafo y hacer que llegará hasta mi casa desde 10 calles, por haber insistido en que disfrutase de todos los sentimientos y emociones que me abarcaban mientras leía la trilogía porque no la podría nunca volver a leer como la primera vez. Porque leer Supernova a tu lado ha triplicado y mejorado todo, las risas, la tristeza el odio hacia CIERTOS personajes —ejem, ejem escarcha ejem, ejem— las risas en mis absurdas —pero muy ciertas teorías— y todo en general.

Gracias.

Dios, siento que Callum se ha apoderado de mí.

En resúmen, es un libro 5/5, más si se le pudieran dar más estrellas a un libro. Es el MEJOR CIERRE DE UNA TRILOGÍA, TIPO, NO PODÍA SER MEJOR. IMPOSIBLE.

Así que sí, ahora voy a leer fanfics porque no puedo aceptar, me NIEGO a aceptar que no voy a volver a leer a Adrian y Nova.

Pd: Lena, siento no haber llorado en el epílogo, si te hace sentir mejor, estoy llorando ahora <3
