Molto bello per gli amanti della lettura lo consiglio

The world is filled with people who have powers, some of them are Anarchists, some are Renegades, but both groups have good and bad members. Nothing is what it seems. Renegades has been such a good and original read. Give me an antihero with a good tragic backstory and I am sold! I especially liked the very diverse cast: there's a hero with a disability who walks with a cane, Nova (the main charecter) is Filipina/Italian, others are described as having brown skin, and Adrian (another main charecter) is the adopted child of a gay couple who also happen to be the leaders of the Renegades. I loved the originality of their powers and how some of the prodigies came to have them. Also, the love story! The romance is actually one of the least important parts in the story but the way Meyer describes how their feelings evolve you can't help but root for the charecters. Which brings me to my girl Nova, she is very resourceful, confident, and intelligent. The whole book is from her perspective. Finally, there are a lot of clichés in the story, "Your days of villainy are over, Nightmare." , which I'm usually not a fan of but this time I enjoyed it in a "it's so bad that it's good" kind of way. The book is a bit slow at times but it's an easy and interesting read.

An action packed, riveting read. RENEGADES is not your classic super heroes vs villains story. In true Marissa Meyer fashion, she delivers a thrilling read that will make you question who the real villains are and what makes a real super hero. She blurs the lines flawlessly between villains and superheroes, making it hard to choose between the two. This is no cookie cutter super heroes vs villains story. It's a fantastic, highly addicting story that will leave you wanting more! Told from both Nova and Adrian's points of views really added depth and a much needed different perspective for this story. It was incredibly easy to tell when the point of views in the story telling changed. Honestly, I don't think this story would have been as good if it had been told any other way. The dual story telling not only allows readers to get to know both characters better, you get to see more of societies within both the Renegades side, and the Anarchists. It's fascinating to see how they're both governed, and who makes up the heroes and villains in this story. Nova and Adrian were incredibly easy for me to like. I felt like I understood both of them. From the choices they made, to Nova's want for vengeance, and Adrian's want for justice. The more I got to know them, the more I realized they're not that different. They both have a lot at stake though. I understood their reasons for being on the opposites of the law. It wasn't hard for me love these two characters despite all they have working against them. I definitely felt like their story is a mix of Romeo & Juliet, meets your favorite superheroes story, meets something entirely knew, and given the perfect Marissa Meyer twist. The characters in Renegades are AWESOME! They were more than just villains and super heroes. They are characters who became larger than their own stories. It was incredibly easy to understand their motives, their choices, their feelings, and understand who they were, and who they became by the end of the story. I absolutely loved getting to know each of the characters in this book. Though in true Marissa Meyer fashion, there's so much more to come with these characters. I have a feeling there's a lot more shocking secrets and twists that will be revealed as this series continues. The setting is awesome! I absolutely loved the Renegade world, because it's complex. It's a world that is full of conflict, fighting, danger, and yet full of hope. It's a world that makes you question a lot of things that happen. Similar to it's plot line, is complicated, twisted, and full of surprises. Trust me, this world is a character all it's own, and adds so much to this story. I loved the action, the electrifying character chemistry, and the unlikely friendships at the heart of this story. This book full of incredible characters, shocking twists, fantastic world building, and includes entertaining story telling. One of my favorite reads of this year, RENEGADES is a fast paced, highly addicting, adrenaline rush of a read. Don't let the page count fool you. With all that happens in this story, you'll find you won't be able to put this book down once you start reading.
