Insurgent picked up right where Divergent left off, on the train moving away from Dauntless headquarters with Tris still haunted by what she had done during the simulation.
The story moves deeper into the revolution, building with more characters and more layers with each chapter. Tris and Tobias become closer but eventually their differing views on who to trust and what is right and wrong start to come between them. Thought they fight to stay together and not let their differences overcome them, it becomes extremely difficult and at many points later in the book looks as if their relationship is doomed.
This book captured me the way the first one did. We learn more about our characters and about Tobias's parents. Nothing is as it seems, which isn't surprising considering the curtains Tris and Tobias began to pull back about the revolution at the end of Divergent. You might think you have the gist of what is going on with regards to the government overthrow that Jeanine wants to occur, but you're probably wrong. There is a huge twist at the end of the book that will leave you dying for the final installment of the trilogy.
You won't be disappointed.
I give this book a definite 5 stars.
Happy reading!

This series gets way better in the second book. A ton of action, much like Mockingbird in The Hunger Game series it because packed with battles and lots of militia being formed. The "shocking" ending didn't leave me dying to keep reading the way Catching Fire did.
Mostly enjoyed it but felt torn between 3 and 4 stars, so probably 3.5 is a more accurate rating. I felt Tris spent so long in her despair in this book and didn’t like how it pushed her towards what can be interpreted as a kind of longing for death. The mysterious secret Marcus protects also felt intentionally withheld by the author for what feels like not quite a good enough “reason” but I still generally enjoyed the journey through...
Much better than the first. There were plot twists I was not expecting and am excited to read the last one.
