Review: "Insurgent"

(Book Summary taken from Goodreads)

“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.” 

 

Filled with heart pounding action, "Insurgent" is a great follow up to Veronica Roth's "Divergent". Although it is quite lengthy, it is full of twists and turns, betrayal, and loss. You feel like you finally understand what is going on and then it is all ripped out from under you. I couldn’t believe some of the betrayals that Tris and Four were faced with along the way. Ms. Roth has delivered a breathtaking second installment that leaves you begging for more. “Insurgent” is filled with action and I loved the fact that I didn’t feel like there was a random ending. I hate it when a book ends too soon and comes out of nowhere.  I felt like this book had nice closure while still leaving you with a new plot line for the next book.

I was worried that this book wouldn’t live up to the hype it was getting. I mean, the first book was a lot to live up to! This book not only met my expectations, but it exceeded them! I was hooked from page 1 and I flew through all 525 pages in a matter of days. I believe that this book will leave fans of “Divergent” feeling complete and anxiously awaiting the release of the third book! If you have not jumped on this bandwagon yet, I suggest that you give it a try! You will not be disappointed!
