Review: Supernova

This book holds nothing back and offers all the satisfying conclusions one would expect from a superhero novel. The conclusion to the Renegades trilogy is nothing short of pulse-pounding, epic, page-turning action. Supernova is probably one of the best conclusions to a trilogy that I have read.

In Supernova, our band of heroes and villains are back. This time, their struggle for domination takes on epic casualties. Buildings ripped from the ground. Deception lurks at every turn. Lines between right and wrong, good and evil are blurred. At the center of it all stand Nova and Adrian. Secrets are revealed and agonizing choices must be made.

As a writer, several plot elements from the previous books jumped out at me, removing some of the element of surprise. The truth about what happened to Nova’s family. The clarity with which Nova sees her infamous Uncle. So many threads left hanging in previous books tied up just as neatly as I expected they would.

As a reader, I loved those twists and turns — even if I saw them coming. I craved the action-packed scenes just as much as the more intimate, one-on-one scenes. I enjoyed the fantastic ride that pulled me from page to page without regard to the passage of actual time. And I especially loved that one detail that Meyer left hanging in the epilogue. I don’t expect she will do anything with it, though I sure would love to read a short story about Magpie and Nova.

Of all the books I’ve reviewed on this blog — of all the books I’ve recommended — the Renegades trilogy by far stands above the rest. If you haven’t read these books, you need to. It delivers everything you would come to expect from an outstanding superhero series.
