The site Fantasy Literature criticised author Meyer's writing style and word choice, saying that the book "lack the imagination and lift necessary to carry a reader away with the story." Publishers Weekly called Meyer "fantastic with superpowers" but also said: "Following an exhilarating opening, the middle section treads water, never quite capturing the novelty and urgency of the first book, but the page-turner conclusion will leave readers eager for the final installment.The Renegades Trilogy continues, in this fiercely awaited second installment after the New York Times-bestselling Renegades by Marissa Meyer, author of the Lunar Chronicles. The book has been called "dark, yet lightened with some humor and heart" and "great for fans of X-Men." Common Sense Media gave the novel four out of five stars, noting that the "sequel is slow to build full of super-spy intrigue." Arkham Reviews commented that the book shares some of the same problems that surfaced in Renegades, but was still an interesting read.
