    Supernova by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Supernova is the third and final book in the Renegades trilogy by Marissa Meyer.

    Kingsbane – Claire Legrand

    Kingsbane by Claire Legrand My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars I loved the first book in the Empirium series, Furyborn by Claire Legrand. I also loved Kingsbane, but for very different reasons.
