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!!!!!!

1.0

The worldbuilding is awful and inconsistent, the 'villains' motivation is bizarre, things make less sense once you know the big reveal, very little happens beyond the constant thinning of the main cast, it's just trauma after trauma after trauma with basically no wins ever. None of it landed, none of it made any sense, I'm baffled I enjoyed it so much. There are just so many characters who you're told you should care about seconds before they're killed off. I can't even keep them straight.
