![]() ![]() ![]() It was messy and bogged down and held a climax both too confusing and convenient to really appreciate. Through most of the story, I found myself wondering when the secrets would finally be revealed and how Nova would inevitably be drawn to turn traitor on the Anarchists. The narrative could have been cut down tremendously and would have read much better for it. I can’t stand black-and-white morality, and the antagonists of the series felt too one-dimensional. In broad strokes, Supernova failed in the same elements that Archenemies did. ![]() Perhaps it’s my fault for reading a superhero story when there are a lot of tropes in stories like this that drive me absolutely nuts, but I’d hoped Marissa Meyer would prove to be different from the rest. Rather, it was because I was pretty certain if I put Supernova down, I would not want to pick it back up. It was not, however, because I found myself unable to put it down. So I pushed through this on my break at work and also getting through chunks of it at a time every night. I’d forgotten how fast YA books tend to read, at least in comparison to the Wheel of Time series. I wanted to hurry up and finish the series since Archenemies hadn’t taken me nearly as long to read as I’d worried it would. ![]()
