Super solid and super enjoyable. I foresee many gushing, gif-laden reviews in this book's future - in fact, some have already been posted, many by people who haven’t even yet read the book! In this case, however, the gushing is mostly deserved.

If you have read Meyer's Cinder series you know that her specialty seems to be revamping already done characters and tropes. Renegades is really no different, except instead of fairytales it's superheroes. She borrows heavily from Batman, X-Men, and other hero storylines. For example, there is a character named the Puppeteer who resembles the Joker and the story takes place in Gotlam City. The heroes have their own center where they train and do research, etc. All this to say that the story is n
