insurgent review


#2 in the Divergent Trilogy


Every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Prior must continue trying to save those she loves, and herself, while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

It took me a bit to read Insurgent after finishing Divergent. I wanted to bask in the glow of reading such a great book, and prolong the trilogy. (Okay, maybe I didn't wait that long...a couple of weeks?) The entire time I wasn't reading it, I wanted to read it.

Insurgent picks up immediately following Divergent. Tris and her friends are back to deal with the devastation that occurred, and the balance of power has shifted. 


It's very interesting to see how the characters change and grow, especially after Divergent. We learn so much more about each of them. Tris has gone through so many changes, and we see a side of her in Insurgent that we hadn't before. 

Many people have said that they didn't think Insurgent quite lived up to the amazing quality of Divergent. In my opinion, Divergent was a bit better because it had this wondrous quality, but Insurgent is such a great read. It's a wonderful, action-packed sequel with so much emotion and an amazing plot.


I gave this  book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
