BLURB

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

REVIEW
5 Stars *****

There's never a dull moment... It will have you in its grip from the very first page. I personally couldn't put this book down. I absolutely loved it. More than the movie... <3 The one thing that I didn't like is the way the characters are portrayed. Their appearance, not only are the main characters plain looking, but there are attributes to their appearances that would make them very unattractive in real life. Now I know that not everyone is a supermodel. BUT why make your characters fungly?
