Ok, so maybe I am a little behind the hype on this one, but
here is what happened. My daughter gave
me this to read a year or so ago. She had
been begging me to read it so that she could talk to me about it. I started it and would put it down and start
it again… It was the book that I would
return to in between reading other things.
I liked it. I just couldn’t get
hooked, like I did with Meyer’s Heartless. Until…I was hooked!
So, it took me over a year to read the first half. I read the second half in two late-night,
by-lamplight, trying-not-to-bother-my-sleeping-husband sessions. Now, the next one in the trilogy is on the
way to my house. Thank goodness for
Amazon Prime delivery.
This fantasy YA book is packed full of action, superheroes and
villains (although I have yet to decide who is which), cool prodigy abilities, and
of course, a sweet little romance. I
think Meyer must be a hopeless romantic like me; thanks for that. Oh, and don’t forget the serious
contemplation that readers must do about independence, freedom, helplessness,
and hopelessness.
At the point where I started
my late-night binge reading was the point where the twists and turns really got
fun. There are so many “WHAT?” moments. I loved them.
And, the ending. Oh yes, she did!
Thanks, Marissa for another great one. I’m sorry it took me so long to listen to my
daughter’s rave reviews. I cannot wait
for that package to arrive tomorrow. I
will change the bulb and get the lamp light ready for more binge reading.
Renegades is a book for tweens and teens or dreamers
like me who love superpowers and the butterflies of romance.
