Insurgent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved Divergent so much that I was waiting and waiting and waiting for Insurgent to come out, and because I think that Veronica Roth wrote such an excellent book with Divergent, I was never worried that Insurgent wouldn’t be as good…..and I am happy to say that I loved Insurgent just as much.
I listened to this one on audiobook and it was great. There were so many different things going on, so many characters returning from Divergent that I grew so much closer to, many people dying, many people showing their true colours and loyalties. There was so much action, so much adventure and still loads of thoughtful and serious discussions between characters. And then there were Tris and Tobias. Ahh Tobias, gosh I love him so. As with the first book, Tobias couldn’t do a thing wrong in my mind and sometimes I could almost visualise his heart bursting with love for Tris. And good ole Tris, still a very independent girl who does what she believes is the right thing to do (I did have a few exclamations of ‘Oh Tris, don’t do that..just tell Tobias the truth and he will help you…’ but I am a bit of a ‘shining knight comes along to save the day’ kinda girl. And in the end I felt that Tris and Tobias’s relationship was solid, real and full of everything it should be.
And that ending…wow..I really didn’t see that coming and after picking my jaw up off the floor, I sighed with anticipation for book 3.
