Renegades

OK so, Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles were INCREDIBLE fairy tale retellings that just completely re-invented the source material, so innovative, next-level great. Then that Alice in Wonderland thing was...listen, it was bad, I'm sorry, but it was bad.

So this book was a wild card for me to pick up–would it be good? Would it be bad? She's capable of both!

My verdict...it was....good? Not spectacular the way my beloved Lunar Chronicles were, but...good. She's playing with superhero tropes in a way that's fun but not exactly groundbreaking (at least not for a reader who's read a lot of superhero comics, eg me). But I liked the characters (including the gay superhero dads), it was a fun read, and I'll definitely keep my eyes open for the next book.
