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!bri_morgan's review against another edition

Score: Seven points out of ten.
It's been so long since I read and enjoyed Divergent and I've been putting this one on hold for a while but now I finally picked up the second instalment in the trilogy, Insurgent and read it. When I finished it, I felt underwhelmed and I hope the final part of the series, Allegiant will be a much needed improvement. It starts (more like continues) with the main character Beatrice Prior now called Tris and I pick up right after the events of the first novel and I meet other characters I've known previously like Tobias/Four and new ones I never heard of up until this point. There is noticeably less action within this novel and the only reason I can think of is that that was to allow for the romance between Tris and Four to develop but here's the thing: I don't mind character dynamics. As long as they have a good execution and the characters are rootable and likable in the first place. However, I thought those two missed the mark in terms of the character writing as I couldn't root for them and I liked Tris in the first part of the series but in this part I felt more disconnected from her and all the other people. At least the ending had more action than the rest of Insurgent and I still hope I will enjoy Allegiant but now I have low expectations for it.
