“One choice can destroy you.”

I always have a problem writing reviews on sequels. It is hard not to spoil like everything about the first book in the series. So for this review, there will be spoilers if you haven’t read Divergent. Insurgent was an amazing sequel. I will say that I think that it did lack a special quality that Divergent had. It wasn’t as special and addicting I guess. But it was really close. If I could, I would have rated Divergent 6 stars, but we only have 5 stars here. So Insurgent was perfect and Divergent was just past perfect, if that makes any since. See my review of Divergent here. You will probably be confused if you don’t read the review on Divergent.

In Divergent, Tris Prior chooses the Dauntless faction and everything changes for her. She has the pass initiation in order to become a full fledged Dauntless member. While there see meets some friends including Uriah, Christina, Will, and Four. She gets romantically involved with Four (swooooonnnnn). She passes initiation as a Dauntless. Her initiation day should be should be a celebration, but it isn’t. The Dauntless are programmed to kill the Abgenation but she doesn’t have the program because she is divergent. But she does end up killing Will and her mom and dad both end up dying for her.

In Insurgent, Tris is dealing with the intense grief of her parents and Will. While she grieves, the factions are at war. She is also having some romantic problems with Four. They keep a lot from each other, and it starts to become a problem. The leader of the Erudite faction wants all the divergent dead, including Tris. Her and her friends are on a constant run from trouble.

Insurgent is really emotional and intense. I’m not sure if I can even possibly give this series enough praise. I probably can’t. Sorry this review is so short, its just impossible to write a review on a book this good without spoilers. But if you haven’t read this series yet, go do it. Just do it.
