is running out.
Together, they can save the world.
But they are each other’s worst nightmare.
Together, they can save the world.
But they are each other’s worst nightmare.
In Renegades, Nova and Adrian (aka Insomnia and Sketch) fought the
battle of their lives against the Anarchist known as the Detonator.
It was a short-lived victory.
The Anarchists still have a secret weapon, one that Nova believes
will protect her. The Renegades also have a strategy for overpowering
the Anarchists, but both Nova and Adrian understand that it could
mean the end of Gatlon City – and the world – as they know it.
Archenemies is Marissa Meyer's explosive second book in the
Renegades series – eagerly awaited by her many fans, as well as a
new audience of readers who love comics, superhero movies, fantasy,
and speculative fiction.
My Review:
*I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Pan Macmillan and NetGalley*
-Contains spoilers
for Renegades, book one-
After the staged
fight between the Detonator and Nightmare, the world now believes
that both of the Anarchists are dead.
Still pretending to
be Insomnia, a Renegade, Nova continues to work for the Anarchists
and her uncle Ace. In her undercover role, Nova discovers that the
Renegades have a plan that threatens the future of the Anarchists and
anyone that stands against the Renegades.
Will Nova's real
identity be discovered?
I enjoyed the first
book, Renegades, and was intrigued to see what would happen to the
characters in the second book, especially after the reveal at the end
of Renegades.
It was interesting
reading Nova's thoughts and seeing how she reacted to things that
happened.
I found Adrian more
likable in this book compared to the first one. His power is an
intriguing one that has a lot of possibilities.
The romance isn't
one of my favourites, but I don't dislike it.
I liked Adrian's
friends, Oscar, Ruby and Danna, and enjoyed reading more about them.
The plot was a bit
slower than I would have liked. It didn't really feel like much
happened and I did find myself becoming bored.
I liked the
questions that were raised by a certain thing that happens in
Archenemies.
The writing was easy
to follow, but I wasn't gripped.
I'm not sure if I
will read the third (and final) book but I am kind of intrigued to
see what ends up happening to Nova.
I'm disappointed
that I didn't enjoy this more.
Overall, this was an
enjoyable read.
