5/21/2023 0 Comments Renegades by Marissa Meyer![]() ![]() Honestly, I think the main problem is that when I think about this book…I don’t feel anything. There were like two characters who would’ve made this book a lot better but none of them were given enough backstory or enough page time. No witty banter to make them stand out or anything. ![]() ![]() They kind of just existed in the nook of the MCs', like some ghosts of goodwill. The secondary characers also had so much potential yet they eventually became a distant memory. I don't dislike them really, I'm just like “meh ok, go do your thing in your corner”. Renegades was one big conglomerate of timeworn clichés and hackneyed superhero tropes, which would have gotten me so pumped-like, who cares? it’s time to read about overthrowing the government and burning the patriarchy to the ground-if at least the MCs managed to scratch a line into my heart. There must have been a dimensional hiccup in the timeline-how else could I go from being unambiguously and obsessively 100% full scale high key addicted to her books to just.being an aggressively disinterested bystander? ![]() It's like my heart closes for maintenance when it comes to anything else written by this author. I'm trying to come to terms with the possibility that I will never form a meaningful emotional connection with a Marissa Meyer book like I did with The Lunar Chronicles. I’ve got like, two feelings about this book and not all of them are good. ![]()
