Archenemies | 
pickThe action and emotion just keeps getting better with this series. It took me way too long to finish, but I‘m so glad I did. Marissa Meyer loves to give you a terrifying cliff hanger at the end of her books, and I‘m here for it. Can‘t wait to see how this series ends.
pickDefinitely a good sequel to the first book that keepers a lot of what I enjoyed about the first book. Enjoyed how the book bright up the tension and bright up some really interesting questions Nova and Adrian to deal with. This was definitely Adrians book more then novas and i enjoyed that as he was always interesting to me and appreciated how he got some more time to shine in this one
pickA shining example of the moral ambiguity of superheroes. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2022/10/19/book-archenemies-2018/
so-soThere were so many awesome characters; fun, interesting and the thing I loved most about them: they were grey.
This book made me to think about who's really good and who's bad. Even though you're aiming to do good there should be some rules to follow.
This book was a bit slow and made me to think if there should be a duology instead of trilogy. I still enjoyed but things didn't go forward extremely fast.

pickSuperheroes with cool powers. Magical objects and super villains. So much fun.
pickStill loving this series! Its sooo good. It reminds me of the X-Men series, which I am in love with that series. Ace reminds me so much of Magnetio and The Captain reminds me of Professor X. This needs to made into a movie or t.v. series, something! It's way too good to not reach every person. Now whoever has the 3rd book on Libby, give it up! Lol 🤪

Amazing and intriguing book. Highly recommend, but enjoyed the first one more.

pickNot as good as the first, but you should stick with it because it gets better in the last book. I think this one just went a bit slow for me. Adrian is also getting on my nerves a little bit, but he comes around in the end. 6:/10
so-soGrr... cliffhangers! I don't even like this book very much, what with the many things that don't make logical sense, the oh-so-YA relationship, and the half-dozen pending reveals that have a high likelihood of disappointing me. And yet, I'm up late finishing it and borrowing the last book in the series on Libby. Like I said: Grr!
pickI love Marissa Meyer‘s books these series holds up to the lunar chronicles.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s been like, two years since I read the first one, but it was so easy to jump right into this world. I‘m really enjoying this series and I need the third one now please!
pickLoving this series so much, and I don‘t think I‘ve ever shipped a YA couple as much as Nova and Adrian. Some of their courtship reminds me of when I met my wife in high school.
Read this one in audiobook, and I‘m becoming a big fan of the narrator Rebecca Soler. She does such a great job.
pick4.5/5💚s
You know it‘s a good book when you contemplate not eating to try to finish is or yell obscenities when you do finish it cause it ended on a huge cliffhanger & you have plans. 😜 In true YA fashion the sexual tension/attraction is thick, but it‘s further compounded by secret identities, opposing loyalties, superpowers, and different views of the world and right and wrong.
I can‘t wait to start book 3!
Me: I don‘t know what book to read next. I don‘t know if I want to read the next book of this series or another book in a different series that will be here on Friday.
My 9yo: well, today is Monday.
Me: fair point!
(Book 2 in the renegades trilogy it is!)
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was pleased that “Archenemies” didn‘t disappoint compared to the first book of the series, and was just as action-packed. I thought that the ending of “Renegades” was a cliffhanger, but Meyer managed a cliffhanger that tripled the suspense at the end of this novel. Thank goodness that the final book of the trilogy, “Supernova”, is already released so I can start it right away.
Author: Marissa Meyer
Genre: Science & Adventure Fiction
Date started/finished: Novermber 12 - 25
Reason I chose the book: I read the first book “Renegades” and wanted to continue reading the series because of it‘s messages about human rights in a fantasy novel.
Summary: In the comments
pickMarissa Meyer's Archenemies, the second book in Marissa Meyer's Renegades trilogy, is right in my wheelhouse with its focus on retelling the typical superhero tale. (Spoilers ahead if you haven't read book 1!) Protagonists Nova and Adrian continue working at cross purposes while developing their deepening friendship. Each seeks vengeance for the death of a parent; each blames the other's alter ego, not understanding the conflict at the center. ⬇️
“Yes! The Widow‘s Cup. Put a marriage band in it, and it automatically turns any wine into poison. Awesome, right?”
Just started out on this one a couple days ago, I‘m already in love. Marissa Meyer is a fantastic writer, I am so glad I finally picked up this series (but finding this book was so difficult so close to Christmas 😩). Haven‘t had a chance to take a proper photo of the book itself, but this screenshot of it when I finished Renegades really shows my excitement to continue the series! #lunarchronicles #renegades #marissameyer
bailedI want to love this series, and the first one wasn't bad, but I just cannot get into this second book.

It was a beautiful audiowalk today! Although I‘m not quite ready for this snow yet. 🤷🏻♀️ #FirstSnowFall
Scenes from my #audiowalk. It was nice & sunny & not too cold. I also saw a deer who started to run off, but paused & we stared at each other for a bit. It was a lovely walk.
pickFinished just in time for Supernova‘s release on November 5th. As soon as I finished I immediately preordered my copy and now it‘s just a matter of waiting. There was no shortage of action, which is to be expected from a superhero book written by Marissa Meyer, and there were so many sweet moments that really made my heart swell. As per usual, Marissa Meyer hit this one right out of the park.
so-soThe romance in the book was a little forced but I guess that‘s just the price Nova has to pay. I did not like the ending. There was no surprise or plot twist. Well there was just not the complete end.
#listening to the #audiobook of Archenemies on
#Libby. I'm just not liking this series as much as The Lunar Chronicles, but I'm interested enough in the author to read book two. It's so-so so far.
BOOKHAUL 👌
What is everyone planning to read this weekend? I have just started Archenemies.
#currentlyreading
so-soSelect parts were good but I think it lost the momentum that Renegades had.
Just boarded my flight with this buddy here.
So dreading the meeting with my client tomorrow. Wish I could be home and stay in bed the whole day. 😭

Nova wondered how much of his confidence was an act. Or maybe that‘s all confidence ever was. An act.
The funny thing about living in a city full of skyscrapers was that no one ever looked up.
She recognized most of the Renegades by now, and it was odd to see so many out of uniform. Eating. Chatting. Enjoying one another‘s company. They did not seem like superheroes.
I will take the torch that you have lit and lead us into a new era.
having superpowers doesn‘t automatically turn you into some selfless hero. People are greedy and cruel, and . . . for some, having superpowers just makes them even more greedy and cruel.
To know what this world could look like, what humanity could be, if only we all chose to do our best, to help others, to . . . to be, well, heroes.
“I think you‘re underestimating his intelligence.”
“And I think you‘re overestimating the egos of teenage boys everywhere.”
“There are no unimportant jobs,” said Nova, leaning the mop against Snapshot‘s desk, “only pretentious, small-minded individuals who seek to inflate their own importance by demoralizing everyone else.”
pickWhile I was in class I just finished Archenemies by Marissa Meyer and I must admit when I finished it I was like where's the rest of the book? The ending was defiantly a cliffhanger, I NEED THE NEXT BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! Nothing isn't even explained yet I have to wait six months for SuperNova and I don't think I'm going to survive. Adrian doesn't even know that Nova is nightmare and when he finds out well Idk, Overall I highly enjoyed it!
“A true queen is made not in times of prosperity, but in times of hardship.”
so-soThis story did not have to be dragged out into a trilogy. I was down with two, three is a too far of a stretch. Nothing happened until the last 50 pages. Read fast, but honestly not sure I‘ll bother remembering to get to the last one when it comes out in September.
she was clearly thanking me, and I plan on milking it forever and ever. It‘s like a constant reminder of the risks and rewards that come with true heroism.
she knew what she was supposed to say. It‘s okay . . . it was a long time ago . . . But she‘d never understood why that should make any difference.
I‘m going to finish very archenemies the sequel is just so AMAZING! I love everyone in this trilogy so far,totally recommend!
