Disliking a few of Veronica Roth's other books I gave her another chance with this one and even if I'm not completely satiesfied, it was good. The main character was interesting and not bland like I found other ones out penned by her, the romance was not unexpected but overall sweet and the story itself was unpredictable and therefore captivating.
But I expected something entirely else when reading the blurb ... because the plot twists where just a bit heavy and nearly genre-changing in my opinion. Sadly, I think many of the things weren't explained profoundly and after reading half of the book the rest until the end felt rushed while the first half was dull at times. In comparison to other recently read books I think a solid 3 will do. It's not bad but it's just no favourite either.
