I am trying so hard to love this series but it just isn't working.After not enjoying Cinder, I went on to love the rest of the Lunar Chronicles, so I was really hoping I could do that with this series. I was hoping that Renegades was just a shaky start to something much better. And, for a while, I convinced myself I liked this one more than the first. But aside from a few good bits, I think I'll just have to admit these books are not for me.Let's break it down. » The characters. Honestly, I f...

I LOVED this but I’m also so ANGRYYYYY HOW COULD IT END THAT WAY I DIDNT GET ANYTHING I WANTED WHERE IS BOOK THREE AHHHH

Marissa Meyer has done it again. I am TRULY blown away by Archenemies. Stay tuned for my spoiler-filled video review!CW: violence, oppressionRenegades was already a fantastically constructed world, but Archenemies breaks the boundaries for what we know of Gatlon City. I cannot get enough of the politics of this world. Conflict goes far beyond what we already know of the Renegades’ power and the Anarchists’ will for vengeance. Morals are questioned, friends become suspects, and tensions are highe...

happy book birthday to Archenemies!! my gift is that i posted this mildly negative full review on my blog. find it here: https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.co...-----------I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Life is teeming with disappointments.The fact that that is closer than anything else to becoming my catchphrase is, in a word, concerning. I was hoping that when I inevitably developed a catchphrase, it’d be something cool, like “cleanup on aisle 7” (for when I commit murders) or “all...

this book is almost 600 pages and I read it in a day so if that tells you anything

This book was so long!!!!! And absolutely no reason!Don't get me wrong, I was entertained. At times I didn't even notice the time passing. Other times it felt like it was never going to end!I keep wanting to love this series. I keep wanting to love these characters the same way I loved the characters of Meyer's Lunar Chronicles. I tried, guys, I really did. And I just couldn't.My first issue was the charcters.Aside from Adrian and Nova, none of these characters mattered. They were two dimensiona...

I liked this one but sadly not as much as Renegades...Am I the only one?

2.5I still think Meyer is one of the best fantasy YA author out there, and I still think she doesn't even have to try to be able to stand out. But this book just didn't work. Personally, I believe that the reason (at least in my case) is one of disappointed expectations: like many other fans, I had got used to the idea that the Renegades series was going to be a duology, and only recently did I find out that this was not the case any longer. Not only that, but Archenemies, the second book I, and...

I don’t feel like writing a long review honestly, but just know that this book has destroyed me and I’m not okay. Take me out of the oven and stick a fork in me because I. Am. Done. Thank you, Marissa Meyer, for signing my death certificate. Maybe I’ll come back as Phobia and be your worst fear. Though, even that wouldn’t be enough in my eyes after that heart breaking ending you delivered to us. Do I seriously have to wait a year for the third and final book? I think I just died a little m...

I don't love this book as much as the first one. I got bored with Nova's third job at Renegades HQ. That portion is excruciatingly lengthy to get through. Callum tried hard to keep the artifacts upbeat but it's like browsing through a museum. I enjoyed the start of the book before Nova started her third job. I enjoyed the ending as well. The villains' win at their mission and lost of their *** is a surprise one for me. Normally I don't like Villains but I'm liking Nightmare and the banters amon

This review and other non-spoilery reviews can be found @The Book Prescription “I just want to remind you that there are no lone wolves in the Renegades. There is no I in hero.”🌟 I insist on calling Marissa Meyer the queen of re-tellings. TLC is one of my favorite series that kept improving somehow till the last book. I expected Marissa to be awesome when she writes an original series, except that it was not original!🌟Jump back a few years ago to when the X-Men movies were released, particularl

Continuing buddy read with my dear Maica!4.5 starsANOTHER CLIFFHANGER?! AGH! OMG, SO MUCH WENT DOWN!!!ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Two books in and everyone still doesn’t know the identities of everyone’s alter egos!!! UGHIt’s too late. I’m addicted to this series lolCan it be November already?!

I am so mad at myself for not reading this before but now I have and AHHHHHHH IT'S SO GOOD!!(It's probably a little bit trashy, but I am 10000% invested in the series and I love it so much!)Even the beginning, which had a lot less action, I still don't think it was boring. It was a little bit slow, but I still thought it was a good pace for the story.And that ending!! It was so action packed and so intense!! (view spoiler)[ I can't believe that they still don't know each others' secret identitie...

This is such a fun series! I love it. To be honest I flew through this book so fast that I won't have a lot to say about it because it's a blur. But I LOVED the tension of will-they-or-won't-they find out about the secret identities. There was good romantic chemistry. I love this friend group. I love how the book explores heroes who have evil motives and villains that have good ones. My feels are all over the place!Audiobook review: Narrated by Rebecca Soler and Dan Bittner. Soler is my fave so

~ 2 stars ~This was certainly worst than the first book, but once again, I am extremely indifferent to anything pertaining to this book. I couldn't care less about this series, and because of that, I also can't really hate it.I'm still super frustrated with the plot conveniences, and the fact that two full books, it was still dragging and adding to the plot. So frustrated to the point that I felt like there was no way it could wrap up the story in a satisfactory way (spoiler alert: I was right)....

“There were still consequences. There were always consequences, no matter which side she was on.” ♡ I’m utterly torn. I love the sweet characters and prodigy society depicted in general. But, I can’t overlook the glaring similarities between this novel and the third installment in the X-men franchise, The Last Stand. One of the central plot points involves a drug that can neutralize the abilities of any prodigy. Nova is concerned that this power will be abused in the hands of egotistical Rene

I am enjoying this series a lot so far. The writing is reminding me a lot of The Lunar Chronicles, which I enjoyed quite a lot, so I am quite pleased. Meyers characters are always interesting and fun to get to know. Also I love how unique this series continues to be with a different take on the superhero genre.My only complaint about this book is there was quite a large chunk in the middle where things got a bit slow and stagnant. Meyer picked one major plot point and then just ran it into the g...
