the action is cool, but there is no story. where is the story? where are the characters — those who have actual emotional depth within them and don't feel like cardboard cutouts? this entire thing seems so stupid — why does no other faction speak out about erudite? why is dauntless the only faction with all the brave people willing to sacrifice themselves? maybe the next book will reveal them all, but i don't know if I'll have it in me to read another 400-500 pages of no-plot-only-action.
but hey, if you're in a reading slump, then this book will get you out of it.
the only thing that sticks with me is
