Didn't like this one as much as the first one. It felt a little rushed, and it didn't have the advantage of introducing the world and the characters. Beginning stories are always my favorite. It did have much more of a clear focus on its main character this time (Tris, obviously). Mostly, though, the thing with the pirates felt a little manufactured, and because it was also feeling rushed at the time, I don't think there was enough emphasis on the kids really feeling the consequences of their actions.
I still really like the way the relationship between all the kids is progressing, but my favorite is their relationship their teachers, especially Briar and Rosethorn for some reason. I love that kid.
Anyway, I might just be talking out of my butt. I might just have not been in the right mood to read this. Regardless, will finish up the series probably in January.

Okay I remember why I liked this book. It’s very page turning YA, and the nature magic and team work is wholesome.
But there’s a lot of graphic violence. Not sure when I’ll let the kids read this.

Plot is much better than the first of the series but suffers more from ill defined magic rules.

This is a wonderful series. Highly recommended for those who love fantasy, science fiction, & those who loved Harry Potter and looking for another series about friends attending a Magical Academy...
