Ok this is the area where I can
really get into the details of this book. As I mentioned previously, I think
that this book was a pretty good follow up to the first book, and only
diminished slightly. I think that Veronica Roth did an excellent job of
expanding on the world that she created in the first book and showing readers
how the factions were set up. We especially got to see this as Tris is on the
run so much she visits all the factions in the city. Speaking of expanding on
things lets discuss characters…
♥Characters♥
♥Tris:
Tris
has changed as a character. While
she has grown up, she is also a lot more thoughtful about who she trusts. I’d
almost say she has become sceptical. And in reality who would blame her. You
are in the middle of a raging war with so many options of who to trust and
shown few leads as to who is trustworthy (other than Jeanine). I was impressed
that she went against Tobias, and at first I was upset with her about it, but
in the end, I couldn’t blame her. How could you not go after something your
parents had thought important enough to die for? Hopefully she is not to
harshly tried for her crimes and can escape to the outside world, who knows if
it will be any better out there though.
♥Tobias:
At
first, in this instalment in the series I found that Tobias was more loving
than ever, but at points in the end I thought he was a bit cold. I understand
that he was upset that Beatrice/Tris had decided to side with his father, but
in the end he seemed to understand why. Especially when the information they
found was so important and life altering. I do wish that he did trust Tris
more, but perhaps with time that will be capable.
♥Jeanine: She is an interesting person that’s for certain. I suppose
in her way of thinking, she was really protecting the factions and that’s also
probably why so many Divergent went missing, because too many Divergent meant
it was time to open the flood gates. I find it interesting that no one took
much of an interest previously to what was outside of the gate. Would you not
be slightly interested? I was relieved when she died, but also shocked that she
died the way she did.
♥Caleb: Ok so
what is his deal? Is he really with the Erudite or factionless or someone else?
It’s hard to keep up with his decisions. I hope that he hasn’t chosen to stay
inside the gates at all costs. I thought he would be smarter than that, but
perhaps he is just as brainwashed as those under simulation. Oh my goodness…..
WHAT IF HE’S UNDER SIMULATION!?!? (so now that you understand the inner working
of my brain whilst reading…)
♥Marcus: I’m not sure whether or not his is trust worthy yet. I want
to say just because of the way he treated Tobias, but perhaps I’m wrong. He
might be working towards saving the world, who knows at this point?!
♥Evelyn:
I
know that I don’t like her. She is just as bad as Jeanine. I understand why she
is fighting with the factionless, but did she know about the outside gates and
was going to use the factionless to get the information erased?? So many
thoughts….
♥Christina: I still like her. And although she lost Will, I think
that her friendship with Tris has changed. Part of her must hate Tris, but
another part must think that Tris is someone worth fighting for as she has
proven throughout the book. Especially at the end.
♥Moments to Remember♥

“‘I’ll be your family now,’ he says.
‘I love
you,’ I say.”

“‘Let me
get this straight. So you left the Dauntless compound to get ready for war… and
took your makeup bag with you?’
‘Yep. Figured it would be harder for anyone to
shoot me if they saw how devastatingly attractive I was,’ she says, arching an
eyebrow.”

“I step
toward the Candor. Maybe they aren’t programmed to shoot. I stare into the
glazed eyes of a woman in a white blouse and black slacks. She looks like she
just came from work. I take another step.
Bang. By instinct I drop to the ground,
covering my head with my arms, and scramble backward, toward Fernando’s shoes. He
helps me to my feet.
‘How about let’s not do that?’ he says.’”
♥Final
Line: “Then the shouting begins.”
Thanks for reading,
Love,
