Synopsis (from
goodreads.com):
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.

Jillian’s Review:
|
As action (and violence) packed as
the first book, Divergent. There’s
also a good bit of romance without too much detail. I’m annoyed that Tris
thinks she has to keep everything inside and secret when every readers knows
as soon as the truth comes out it will destroy the relationships of those
around her. It’s one of those books that a lot of problems could be solved or
eliminated all together if the characters would just talk. Thankfully the
truth does come out and not at the very end, so things are resolved
throughout the rest of the read. I do like though, that Tris is kind of weak
in this second book just because she feels more realistic.
We finally find out what this
weird society is all for but have to wait until book three, title unknown to
be release in 2013, for an ending (hopefully!). I'm looking forward to it,
thought I'm glad I get a break from the blood and guts for a while.
Best for the older Young Adult
reader as there is A LOT of violence…like Hunger Games.
