Renegades

I loved this book! It was definitely a change of pace from what I have been reading.
I adored that all of the characters were in such a grey area morally. From Adrian being the Sentinel, to Nova slowly realizing that there may be more than one angle to the stories she's heard. Adrian's dilemma of wanting to become a true hero with his new powers and the alter ego of The Sentinel, but then hurting not only Danna but the council reputation was really interesting to watch. The whole time I was hoping that maybe Nova would start to decide what she wanted for herself rather than let one side or the other decide for her, and although I didn't get that per-say, I enjoyed watching her start to uncover truths that she never knew of. For example when Dread Warden hinted at the possibility of Ace being alive, and then in the end it seems that he really wasn't dead made my jaw drop! I was expecting more from the Council, and yet they decided to lie to everyone and say that Ace was gone for good. That was not the only time the Council proved to not be the best of people, when Hugh basically said that "We're making a antidote to take any none renegade prodigy powers away" I was furious with him!
I think Meyer did a great job with her characters, and big reveals. At first things did move a little slowly, but I ended up getting past that and just zooming through this book. I can not wait to read the second book!
