Since Marissa Meyer announced a sequel series to the Renegades trilogy, here are the things I hope to see in these books :
• More interactions btw Nova and Leroy : I want more scenes with them, Leroy being like a father figure to her, trying to comfort her about her traumas, about what will happen in the future, encouraging her to survive.
• Evie/Nova reveal : one of the most important point. I want this reveal to be chaotic, emotional, with a slow resolution. The evolution and actions of Nova's character in the trilogy were essentially based on her desire to get revenge for the death of her family, mainly her sister. That's why I want this reveal to be something that will take Nova (and Evie) a long time to accept and believe. If it happens, I want to see Nova completely denies it, to see her refusing to believe it, but the more she tries to believe it, the more it hurts her. I feel that not choosing to focus the new book on Nova's emotions would be completely forgetting her character development which was incredible in the trilogy.
• More Nodrian : I need Nova to realize that Adrian is the only way for her to feel happy, loved and safe. I need to see them talk about the events of Supernova, reconforting each other, just small moments with them, fighting their traumas together and be happy.
• Nova’s thought about her mother : we know that Nova had an amazing bond with her father, but we know nothing about her mother, that’s why I would love to learn more about her through Nova’s mind.
• New characters : I want to see new powers, new teams, new morally grey characters.
• More Callum and Winston : wait-
• Some flashback scenes from what happened between the last chapter and the epilogue of Supernova : Did Nova and Leroy get a judgment ? What was the last interactions between Nova and Adrian/Nova and Leroy before the epilogue ? But I would love to see if the council decided to judge them fairly, and for the council to realize that they were not the real villains here, they were just trying to survive and be free for what they believed and fought for all their lives.
• Nova’s mental health : I really hope Marissa will explore the issue of mental health with Nova a little more (and don’t tell me she’s okay after everything she went through, there is no WAY). For me, this is the biggest point that was missing at the end of Supernova. But I think the fact that this point is missing from the last book is a good way to address this subject (mental health and ptsd) in a more important way with the new book. Everyone has lied to Nova, everyone has always betrayed her, she has always been used for the benefit of others and no one ever seemed to care about the consequences it would have on her (except for Leroy) and I want to see Nova realize that. Marissa has explored such good and important themes in the trilogy that I want to see her talks about important other themes in this sequel.
• Grief and remorse : Nova visiting her family's grave. We don't know where her parents and her "sister" were buried (or if there is a memorial for people who died during the Age of Anarchy). This was never mentioned in the trilogy so I hope we could see that in this book with Nova's emotions highlighted (same for Adrian and his mother). This could also allow us to discover new places in Gatlon.
• Adrian’s view on his mother’s death : him recovering from his mother’s death and what he learned. We need to see him blaming himself, we need to see how his mental health is!
• Protests and revolts : this is the whole point of Supernova’s epilogue, telling us that people celebrate when they have someone to protect them, but reality always hits them and they realize that the system has many flaws which lead them to stand up for their own group. This is what I want to see : this will always be a fight between the most powerful people where the weaker will always be less important because that’s how the world works, superheroes or not. This trilogy talks about so many good political aspects of our world but if there were superheroes. That’s why it would be a great comparison with our world. I don’t want to necessarily see a new villain, it would be too obvious since Ace was the representation of it all, he was the representation of how anyone can become a villain just by chasing power.
Future and past of Gatlon :
• The whole Renegades system/council being reformed : how an entire organization changes after years of conflict between different groups? Are Renegades still considered those dealing with justice? Are they still organizing recruitment? How do they change their system now that everyone has powers? What about the Rejects?
• New informations about what happened before and during the Age of anarchy : although I think we should have a prequel dedicated to the Age of Anarchy, I would love to have more flashbacks about this period,not necessarily things about the council and Ace but I really want to know new things we still didn’t know about this part of history with other characters. I need to have some flashbacks of the Age of anarchy like there was in Renegades.
