Je ne me souvenais plus à quel point le livre était différent du film. 
Je trouve que contrairement au premier (mon préféré) les scènes sont beaucoup moins bien organisées, certaines meme inutiles, il y a énormément (trop) de personnages qui sont mal (parfois pas du tout) réutilisés… 
Tris et Tobias dans ce tome sont beaucoup moins « likable » en tant que personnes et en tant que couple. 
Par contre Christina <3 <3 
Mais ce tome était quand même génial, facile à lire en anglais et rapide. 
Par contre je l’ai trouvé extrêmement triste (pas étonnant que ce soit sur celui-là que je pleure le plus).

I totally forgot how good this book is. Some of my favourite moments happen and it is such a strong continuation of Divergent. We are so much world building and character development as it transitions into much darker themes. 
Overall a solid book!

I didn't like this book. Personally, I found it just very depressing. Tris is dealing with the grief of killing her friend in self-defense and it is just a really heavy topic. I won't recommend this book nor will i finish the series

I rated this book higher than Divergent because even though it was slower and had less action, I loved all the science elements and how it talks more about Erudite instead of mostly taking place in the Dauntless compound.

I forgot how annoying both Tris and Tobias are. Guess they’re really meant for each other! Also, this book in seriously messed up—and not even an interesting, morally ambiguous way, like in a pretty much everyone has murdered or been complicit in the murders of innocent people way. Why were we all reading this in middle school!!!!!!

korra_maddie's review against another edition

The plot was fine and interesting the first 100 ish pages. Somewhere in the middle of the book, it was super confusing the plot made no sense. Therefore, it made it very hard to read and know what was happening. Plus many people said the series got bad so I DNFED the book/series.
