Supernova Book Review

 Finally a five stars.

Finally a five stars, that's how I started my review and it's true. Supernova is the fourth Marissa Meyer book I've read and my first five stars.

I have kept this review free of spoilers for Renegades, Archenemies, and Supernova.

Supernova is the final book in the Renegades trilogy, which is a YA fantasy, dystopian series about a world with superheroes. The series follows Nova a prodigie, someone with special abilities, an Archanist and someone firmly against the Renegades, the prodigies who lead society.

The main characters of Supernova are Adrian and Nova, just like the previous two books but in Supernova I would say many of the side characters start to take shape and take on their own role.

To me Marissa Meyer's characters always feel real and likeable, this book is no exception, though Nova did do somethings that really annoyed me but I understood why she did it even if I didn't agree with what she was doing.

There was a lot I liked about this book, some of my favourite parts being Adrian and Nova's relationship and anything Max was in, I think he may be my favourite character to be honest. While there were things that annoyed me and some of my pet peeves were definitely in this book there was nothing major I disliked, it was all the odd little thing here and there.

I do just want to talk about that epilogue, Marissa Mayer has to be writing at least one more book, she can't leave us like that. 

I would highly recommend this series to any YA fantasy or dystopian reader and would happily give it to a younger (probably around 11+) reader, it is clean and action packed with nothing that would put me off giving it to an eleven year old. A book deserving of 5 stars.

I think this length will be the length of my reviews from now on, I really struggle to writing longer reviews.

The Christmas Book Club book review

  I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

  I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule.  The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down.  The romance w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

  I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts.  I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more.  I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
