Renegades

I had such high expectations for this book and so much of it just fell flat. Although the premise of the book seemed interesting, and Marissa Meyer is known for reimaginings, I found this book to be very basic and like every other superhero book. It definitely had unique aspects, but overall it seemed very cookie cutter. This book didn't bring anything new or exciting to the realm of superheroes. Although I liked the two main characters individually, I really didn't like them together. Their romance seemed forced and I didn't feel any chemistry. I really couldn't care less about the Renegade side characters, and while I really did like the Anarchist side characters, I feel like I barely got to know them. The writing, while definitely not bad, felt very basic and young-adult to me. The whole book felt very much like setting up for the next one. In general, I found Renegades to be charming enough, but definitely predictable and boring at times.
