It took me so long to finish this book (well long for me). I just wasn't entirely interested. I didn't guess the ending though so that was nice. ( )

This book is a nightmare. I finished it in 3 weeks because I kept putting it off. I was just that uninterested. This whole series went down the toilet. What even is the ending to this book? To be honest, there were some good things about it, but it definitely didn’t outshine the bad. Tris and Tobias’s romance is less cookie cutter and goes more in depth in this book, which is a major improvement form number #1. The action was written well in some parts, but in others (particularly the beginning) it felt incredibly slow. I never was a huge fan of the divergent books in the beginning, simply because it didn’t grasp me enough. I’ll give allegiant a shot though, just so my friends don’t come attack me. ( )

How did this one never end up with review, too?

Guh. This series continues on, giving you the most unexpected both windfalls and gut punches. Taking things from you, shoving them into your hands, having to run, run, run, through it, never enough time to process because that how the Dauntless world is and how the ruthless revolution is happening. This is a tempest caught in a few pages, bound to steal your time, your mind, and all your focus.

I can't even spoil it. A favorite book last year with the first, this steadfastly remains in favorite series this year. ( )

This book was equally as action-packed at the first. It picks up right where book one left off. There is chaos, factions are collapsing, and no one is sure who can be trusted.

This story is full of angst, misunderstandings, and betrayal. The divergents become known, and while some are fascinated by them, others are scared.

The story was exciting and kept me engaged. There were moments when some characters really got on my nerves, and I really wanted to strangle them. This made them relateable and realistic even in a fantasy world.

Well done. Looking forward to book three. ( )

Divergent kept me glued to its pages even though the worldbuilding was amateur at best and the characters forgettable. But the slow plot in this second installment just made all the other flaws more obvious. I was pretty bored. ( )
