Insurgent- Veronica Roth

This post is LONG overdue, but deserves to be written nonetheless. I want all of you to go out and buy both Diverent and Insurgent ASAP. Finish both books then sit around and wait for book three to come out, whenever it comes out... Veronica Roth's blog doesn't pin an exact date but, we do know it's going to come out eventually!

I bought Insurgent immediately after reading Divergent and I recommend you do the same. It is the second in this already planned YA Dystopian trilogy. As you know, I LOVEEEEE dystopias {The Hunger Games and The Selection :) } because they place me in a world I could have never imagined living in. I love the struggles that come with the society, but am fascinated with the role the main characters usually take in creating a better world for themselves and their future. 

Insurgent picks up right where Divergent ends. It is similar to Mocking Jay in The Hunger Games trilogy with the main similarity being the war waged against the man. I love reading about Tris and Four and I can honestly say I am dying for the third book to come out!

Here is Veronica Roth's synopsis of Insurgent:

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris 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.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

It's been a while since I finished this book so, I am going to forgo the love and loathe section. I will, however, still rate it because I do remember just how much I liked it. Liked. It. So. Much. Definitely a must read, after you finish The Hunger Games and wonder what to do with your life. ;)
