Renegades / Archenemies / Supernova

I've never read anything by this author before, but after this introduction, I'm sure I'll be looking for more. This one is young adult through and through, but fun without getting too series. The world has gone downhill and heroes have risen to stabilize cities. They keep the renegades (evil people with powers) in check and maintain order - or at least that's the hope. The first book in this series follows a renegades journey into infiltrating the hero's in order to bring them down. With a tone similar to Sandersons Reckoners series, it's hard not to have fun with this one.

This book was better than I was expecting. Marissa Meyer sometimes struggles when it comes to introducing characters and worlds. Cinder is nothing like the rest of that series and Heartless is a weak book overall, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to jump right into this world and these characters lives. Now that being said the so called “twist” at the end could be seen coming a mile away. I predicted it in the first 100 pages or so. But I'm totally here for the couple from opposite sides falling for each other. I'm interested to see how this one is tied up in the second book since this is supposed to be a duology.
