Insurgent by Veronica Roth

In this Divergent sequel, Tris is faced with the consequences of her choices. The story was darker this time and there was more violence and the romance didn’t pick up as much as I had hoped for, but it was nevertheless a very enjoyable and action-packed read.

Following the events of the first book in the series, the action picked up right away with a war looming because of the growing conflict between the factions and their ideologies. While the first book focused on Tris and her growth, this book focused more on the conspiracies and the struggle to make the right choices. When trying to save the people that she loves, Tris has to struggle with conflicting loyalties and political consequences, but also questions of her own identity, love and forgiveness.

Divergent is one of my favorite dystopians ever and I had such high expectations for this book. I did enjoy it, but not as much as Divergent. It was quite different and felt very much like the typical middle book, mostly providing a bridge to the series finale. I had hoped that the romance would have been allowed some more steam and fire in this book. The chemistry between Tris and Tobias is so great, but for some reason Veronica Roth keeps holding the romance back. She just kept throwing one obstacle after another on them…

But all in all, Insurgent was a truly enjoyable read with a cliff hanger ending that left me speechless and desperate for the next book and series finale!
