Insurgent
Book 2 of the Divergent Trilogy
By Veronica Roth
It’s so hard to give a detailed synopsis of a second or third book in a series without giving away what happens in the first.
So here’s the one from Amazon:
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.

In my own words, this book was amazing.
It picked up right where Divergent left off. Tris, the heroine of the book, is as tough as ever while seeming real at the same time. She is a selfless, and at times unrealistically selfless, person that I would be proud to emulate. She finds a home in a group of people she had been taught to fear, she finds her friendships, her romances, and her family tested. But she overcomes them all by remaining true to herself and her cause.
The dystopian society is a theme that I’m sure will be taking off in the next few years due to the success of the Hunger Games trilogy books/movies and the anticipated success of the final book in this Divergent series (and hopefully movies)
If you like the sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian/future society genres, I would highly recommend you immediately go out a pick up Divergent AND Insurgent.
I couldn’t finish the second book fast enough, and I am going to pre-order the third as soon as Roth writes it!
