Tris makes it to initiation, but the day that should have been celebrated is instead the day it all ended with unspeakable horrors. A war has blossomed between the factions and their ideologies, and in time of war sides must be chosen, secrets is revealed and easy choices become more powerful. Tris has to fully embrace her Divergence, even though she doesn’t know the consequences.
I love this book, more than I did Divergent! It’s such a good book despite the fact that it just gets tougher and tougher to keep your mask on. The thing about these books is that the story just gets better and better, and you get to understand more and more throughout the books. Tris stands in front of this big change in her life, where she loses and gives more than she gets, and by instinct she wants to do everything on her own, which makes Four distance himself more from her. Big secrets are also revealed in this book, and by the end you should have Allegiant by your side, because the ending is just mind-blowing!
What I really love is that Roth takes Tris to another level of danger, self-discovery and even makes her question herself and the people around her. She starts to talk to people that she rather wouldn’t and, well, there are a lot of points in this book where you just stare into the pages and ask “WHY”. Especially the ending, that’s where I was turning pages after pages widening my eyes as I read through the words, and I have to say, I’ve never started a sequel that fast before - and I couldn’t put it down for a second.
The thing about Insurgent is that it builds up to the finale, it explains a lot we didn’t know, and we get to understand the relationship between Tris and Tobias, Tobias and Evelyn (his mother), and a lot of other people. Thing evolves, like the relationship between Tris and Christina when Christina finds out that Tris shot and killed Will, Christina’s boyfriend. I can’t really say more than to read the Divergent series, and hopefully, the movies that are coming out one-by-one, will be just as good as the books!
