Tobias and Tris and their relationship is on the fritz. Caleb and Tris are learning the true meaning of Faction before Blood. Tris is still trying to work through the loss of her parents, Tobias is trying to learn how to accept his father being back in his life even if it isn’t a long term situation. We get to meet a lot of old characters and some new ones in this book. We also got to see what some of the main characters are really made up of and how well they can handle the situations that have been thrown at them. How well they can deal with the things that they are forced to deal with. Tobias is a character that always wants to do what is right no matter what. He however always puts himself above others in some situations, it is how he has learned to survive. This is all a great part due to the turmoil his father had put him through as he was growing up. Tris acts and then thinks later. She has a lot of problems with thinking things through clearly. She may think she has thought it through but eventually she realized some of her choices could have used a lot more thought then what she had put towards them. Caleb is a whole different category. He thinks things through rationally and then acts on the best case scenario even if it means he has to hurt people that love him and or have cared for him in the present and past. I want to say there is hope for him but I am unsure at the current time. I am always skeptical about reading the next book in a series when I fall in love with the very first book in the series. I must say I was not disappointed at all. This book was exactly perfect and I couldn’t have asked for more. It was well written, the story flowed seamlessly and I just all and all enjoyed every bit of it. I look forward to reading book three, well starting it as soon as I post this! I've been putting off reading this one, though now I kind of wish that I had waited a few more months. This book wasn't the least bit of what I expected it to be.I wasn't hooked like I was with Divergent and I actually started reading another book halfway through this one. I'm waiting till the next book is released, hopefully everything will be wrapped up and I can say that the trilogy was a great one, minus this one book! Amazingly enough it's pretty good. I just haven't read much because i have been so busy but today i will probably read more of this. I am dying to find out what happens to Trish and the gang. Jeeze i thought for sure the twists in this book would be better. I am not that happy with this one as i was the first one. I hope it at least has a good ending. I am not sure i will go on to read the third one.
I won't write a spoiler here, but Veronica Roth really has a way of wrapping up the end of the story while leaving the reader gasping at the revelation, and desperate to read more. Belongs to SeriesDivergent (2) Is contained inHas the adaptationAwardsDistinctionsNotable Lists
