**WARNING** If you have not read Divergent, please note that this post may contain spoilers.
A refresh on Divergent. Beatrice "Tris" Prior is living in a futuristic Chicago where at age sixteen they must choose a faction, a decision that might change their life forever. For Tris, it's leaving her family. But she soon finds out that she's not fit for a certain faction. She's Divergent.
Jeanine Mathews has made her intentions clear at the end of Divergent. She will do anything to keep the rest of the city from accessing some very important knowledge, including murdering innocent people, and mind controlling others to do so. War has officially broken out between the factions. They must choose sides, and they must decided how to proceed with the Erudite. But the Erudite are very good at getting what they want. Tris has to decide who to trust, and to make sacrifices for everything she believes in. But how is this possible when there are very few who are on your side?
The book starts right off from where Divergent ends. Tris and her friends find refuge among the other factions, and in this case, the factionless too. Amity, Candor, none of them guarantee to help them. Sometimes your allies are the people you'd least expect to be. Sacrifices are made, and more information is revealed. Who are they? Who created the faction system? Were they put there for a purpose? What's outside the fence? More questions arise and Tris is at a loss. She needs to trust her instinct, even if the consequences might be fatal. You get to explore more of the other factions, and you also get to learn more about the Divergent. A slight twist in the plot in the end, and of course a major cliffhanger. Betrayal, shock, grief, and sacrifices. I only have one word for it. Amazing.
