Reviews with the most likes.
Pros:
- This book starts off shortly after the end of Renegades. We continue to follow Nova and Adrian in their “official” and “unofficial” roles. I really appreciate how they both have secrets but yet their secrets are the same.
- This book I felt like did a great job with the relationship building. I really feel like Nova and Adrian's growing relationship is very organic and I'm enjoying how Meyer is writing it. I know we are speeding toward a collision in Supernova, but I can enjoy it for now.
Cons:
- So I know these books are setting up a final showdown between the Renegades and the Anarchists, but I feel like there is a huge lack of explaining everyone else (like what are the non-prodigies doing all the time).
- While I still really enjoyed this book and gave it four stars, I feel like the plot was lacking in some aspects, while I know we had to set up a lot and explain a lot as we move closer to the finale of the series, I just wish we had gotten more plot. We got a lot of relationship building which I loved, but more scheming and action would have been enjoyable.
I enjoy the back and forth between the two character points of view in this series. I am not sure how much actually happened until the end of this book but I enjoyed the journey none the less. I am excited for the final book at the end of this year.
I spent a good part of this book wondering why this needed to be whole damn trilogy; feels like the story is being dragged out longer than necessary.
erasing my initial review now and lowering my rating 4ish months later, looking back, realizing a few things ...
this book was very middle book. at the time reading it, i thought it was continuing on the interesting moral dilemma issue that was raised in the first book, but looking back after having read the whole trilogy now, i realize it was NOT, and this book introduced a new plot point that was incredibly stupid and ended up imo ruining the entire concept of this.
the characters were still entertaining in this and you can see from my reading activity at the time i WAS entertained, but i also realize looking back that it was all really cheap and wore off extremely quickly, and once it did, the story itself really fell apart and i cared less and less. i'd never reread this, and in my heart this is a 2 star read (solidly at “it was ok”) but i was entertained, so i'm splitting the difference and leaving it at 3 stars. but idk. i don't think it was all that great sozzzzz
