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.

"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...
