Praise for RENEGADES
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!
A Winter 2017-2018 Kids' Indie Next List Selection
"In a vividly dark and fully imagined universe where special
abilities are feared unless they can be strictly controlled and
labeled, Meyer celebrates and subverts popular superhero tropes
while mining the gray area between malevolence and virtue.
Third-person narration builds suspense as it shifts between Nova
and Adrian, a Renegade with his own secrets; the worldbuilding
details and many combat sequences will captivate devotees of
superhero comics. Beyond the capes and masks is a strikingly
grounded story of star-crossed would-be lovers, deception, and the
recognition that most of humanity exists between the extremes of
good and evil."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Tackles a familiar genre in a brand new way."--Hypable.com"A fully
realized new world with compelling characters and just enough
edge-of-your-seat action to rival the biggest on-screen
adaptation?."--Bustle"Exciting...perfect for your Fall #TBR
list."--PopSugar.com"Even reluctant fans of hero fantasies will
fall for the smart plot and wonderful world-building.
Prepare to fangirl."--Justine Magazine"Meyer delivers a balance
between intricate world-building and fast-paced action
sequences. Nova's childhood tragedy will draw sympathy from
readers as they watch her integrate into the group of Renegades in
order to seek vengeance. Back-stabbing, plot twists, and hidden
agendas will have readers turning pages in an attempt to discover
the truth."--School Library Journal
"Meyer smartly refrains from focusing totally on Adrian and Nova's
potential romance and instead fleshes the characters out as
separate individuals with flaws and strengths, regrets and desires.
...The world is exceptionally well crafted, particularly the
complex backstory of the rise of prodigies among humans, and the
secondary cast of villains and heroes could give Marvel and DC a
run for their money. There's a lot going on here besides cool
names and superpowers, and the book earns both its hefty page count
and its expected sequel."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's
