The writing is repetitive and starts to become almost too annoying to stand. The entire premise becomes more obviously severely flawed. But as the series progresses, it goes from ok to worse. The premise was not terribly convincing, but these things can be ignored. It wasn't very well written, but the plot was still exciting. In that sense, the series started out meeting my expectations.

I enjoy reading young adult books at times because they can be a pleasant way to pass the time: engaging, but not requiring much thought, resonance with characters, and a healthy dose of triumph of the soul and idealism. As such, my expectations of complexity and maturity are not high. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature – and of herself – while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love. Perhaps beyond the fence, she will find a simple new life, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties and painful memories.īut Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. The faction-based society that Tris once believed in is shattered – fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. If Tris wants to uncover the truth, she must be stronger than ever as more shocking choices and sacrifices lie ahead. Wracked by grief and guilt, she becomes reckless as she struggles to accept her new future. Tris has survived a brutal attack on her home, but she has paid a terrible price. Tris can trust no one in this brutal new world, but she is drawn to a boy who seems to both threaten and protect her. So she ventures out, alone, determined to find out where she truly belongs. In a divided society where everyone must conform, Tris does not fit. Sixteen-year-old Tris has been forced to make a terrible choice. 1 New York Times bestsellers DIVERGENT, INSURGENT and ALLEGIANT in collector’s trilogy set.ĭIVERGENT – a major motion picture in 2014.
