Divergent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
If you are looking for a good book to fill the void of Hunger Games, I have found a great one for you!
It seems like dystopia themed books are all the rage theses days. And while many of them seem unoriginal, repetitive and lacking in any real character development, Divergent is one that has been able to separate itself from the pack.
It’s the story of Beatrice Prior. She who lives in a world that is divided into five factions:
Abnegation (the selfless)
Candor (the honest)
Amity (the peaceful)
Erudite (the intelligent)
Dauntless (the brave)
Currently, she’s resides in Abnegation, the in the one she was born into. However, she is quickly approaching Choosing Day, where each sixteen year old will decide what faction they wish to devote their entire life to. Before that, Beatrice must submit to a simulated aptitude test in order to see which faction she would fit into best. Her results are ambiguous and definitely not normal, which makes her very dangerous (for reasons she does not understand) to those in charge. In order to protect herself, she must keep her results to herself and choose her own path. Leaving her faction means leaving her family and she’s left to make a difficult decision.
The story just gets better and better from that. It is an easy quick read with lots of action and characters that you actually care about. It is part of a series by Veronica Roth and I can not wait for the next one, Insurgent, to come out in May.
