Insurgent (Veronica Roth)

****

         Sequel to Divergent.  Mini-spoiler alert!

         The Erudite have taken out Abnegation power using advanced simulation technology. They're not done yet, though - they won't be satisfied until they find a way to control the Divergent.  This is bad for Tris and Tobias, who decide to take refuge at Amity headquarters.  It's not in their nature to hide, however, and it isn't long before they go back to the city and the heart of Erudite territory.  There they see that the faction system is deteriorating and a new order is rising up to fill its place.  In this dangerous world, Tris struggles to reconcile her instinct to protect herself with her need to do the right thing - even if it means sacrificing her own safety to keep others alive.

         I really enjoyed this installment of Veronica Roth's series.  Though I liked Divergent just a teensy bit better (probably because there was more action of the purposeful variety), Insurgent had some exciting plot twists.  The ending really left me hanging . . . can't wait till the next book comes out!  Definitely worth reading.

Rating: 4.5/5
Completed: May 14, 2012
