A review by serahlunareads
Divergent by Veronica Roth
4.0
I'm normally hesitant to pick up anything YA, since the genre and I don't always get along. However, seeing that the movie depiction is set to be released soon, I felt I had to read the book before seeing the movie. The plot looked interesting and the ratings were good, so I grabbed it. I'm glad I did! Tris was a very interesting character, and getting inside her head was a pleasure. It's refreshing to have such a strong-willed female character in a YA book, and Tris was definitely that! The romance didn't feel rushed, either, and that was also very refreshing.
I really enjoyed the plot. I felt that the concept of the different factions was clever and well-delivered. It's also something that could very well happen to the world, as we do this--separate ourselves into different categories and compare ourselves to each other--even now.
The protagonists were likable, and the antagonists were anything but. More importantly, they were believable, and easy to become attached to. I'm very much looking forward to continuing this series.
