I don’t love this series at all it’s not my cup of tea I find Tris to be Quite annoying and her and Fours relationship to be very unhealthy. But this is just my opinion I know quite a few people who loved it I just didn’t enjoy it. If your interested I would say take a look because it could lead to something you enjoy.

Omg! This book was everything! I think I hoped so much for the character’s to achieve their goals that I felt I was in the story! There were times where I was just so sad for Tris that I couldn’t move. There were also times where I felt pure joy and this book brought the best of me into the real world! This book really makes you feel for this characters! This is a must read!

Do not let how gory it is stop you! You will have to push through a lot of blood and abuse, but I promise it is worth the read!

I am forever blown away by how much better these books are compared to the films. From the character details to the plot changes, the books are just better and way more enjoyable.

"People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them."

I enjoyed this book as much as the first, but the world building just got a whole lot more complicated...
