Archenemies (Renegades, 2)

The Renegades Trilogy continues, in this fiercely awaited second installment after the New York Times-bestselling Renegades by Marissa Meyer, author of the Lunar Chronicles.

Now a New York Times Bestseller!

Time is running out.
Together, they can save the world.
But they each other’s worst nightmare.

Nova’s double life is about to get a lot more complicated:

As Insomnia, she is a full-fledged member of the Renegades, a syndicate of powerful and beloved superheroes. She works with Adrian’s patrol unit to protect the weak and maintain order in Gatlon City.

As Nightmare, she is an Anarchist - a group of of villains who are determined to destroy the Renegades. Nova wants vengeance against the so-called heroes who once failed her when she needed them most.

But as Nova, her feelings for Adrian are deepening, despite the fact that he is the son of her sworn enemies and, unbeknownst to Nova, he has some dangerous secrets of his own.

In this second installment of the Renegades trilogy, Nova, Adrian, and the rest of their crew – Ruby, Oscar, and Danna -- are faced with escalating crime in Gatlon City, while covert weapons and conflicting missions have Nova and Adrian questioning not only their beliefs about justice, but also the feelings they have for each other.

The line between good and evil has been blurred, but what's clear to them both is that too much power could mean the end of their city – and the world – as they know it.

God, this series is grating. The first book was okay, but now I'm getting fed up with every single character. Going to power through #3, but I'm hate-reading by now.

The trilogy continues to be a fun and entertaining read. As cheesy as it sounds, I think the little relationship tension going on is cute and adds a nice variety to the storylines going on. Also, it's not every YA sci-fi book that makes me think about the hypothetical ethics of a superhuman society, but Archenemies did that (among other things). I know that's not really the main point, but it does emphasize how the hero organization isn't perfect. I love books where it's not black and white. This book really emphasizes that. Of course, there is a pretty clear "good" and "bad" side, but there is a fair amount of bad in the good and good in the bad, with a couple characters not clearly falling in either.

The book Archenemies, by Marissa Meyer is about a patrol unit trying to save the world from their enemies. Each person that is apart of the patrol unit has a specific name and power that they can use against their enemies. I really enjoyed reading this book because I like to read books that aren't realistic. Reading this book as the second book of a series, I would like to read the last book of the series to see what happens. I wouldn't change anything about this book, I like how much detail there was in the book, the characters and I really enjoyed how the ending played out. I was a little surprised when I finished the book because I wasn't expecting that ending.
