Insurgent (Spoiler Alert)

Do not read this if you don't want to have part of Divergent revealed to you before you read the book. I tried my best to keep the spoilers at a minimum. Read Divergent first, and the review first if you wish to enter the world created by Veronica Roth.

Insurgent

By: Veronica Roth

Rating: *****

                As the second installment goes on my shelf I have to say Insurgent was my favorite of the two. The second novel to a series is usually my favorite because all of the introductions are done by the second book. Veronica Roth has once again done an amazing job in capturing my attention for a whole two days. Over 900 pages in four days is worth the amount of time it took and how antisocial I became for four days.

                As in the first installment, a war between the factions rages on causing drama and arguments inside the ex-Dauntless, Eurodie, and Abnegation who have now become factionless. Tris and Four have become an official couple, which happened in the first book, but it’s worth sharing here as well. Although their relationship falters as everything unfolds in front of their eyes which only makes being a couple harder to manage. With Tris going off and being as Dauntless as possible, Four can only sit back and watch while she comes home damaged each time. Their relationship comes to a breaking point when Tris and the rest of the Divergent are given a choice that can go two ways. Either one Divergent give them self up for testing or a whole lot of innocent factionless will die by jumping off a building to their ultimate demise. Can Tris keep her promise to Four that she won’t go off and do anything reckless, or will her Abnegation instincts kick in to save everyone she knows from dying? The ending surprised me which made me rethink everything I have read up to this point. I begin to think, was the Eurodite right or was the Eurodite becoming Big Brother?

                As I sit here and write this I cannot wait to get my hands on the third, Divergent-3. It’s only a matter of time until I sink my teeth into the newest installment and write the review on that. I hope you take this and think about reading this series because Veronica Roth has created a world anyone would want to live in.
