Divergent Insurgent all new hunger games

Finished reading the first two books, divergent, and insurgent by Veronica Roth, very hunger games with a twist, I enjoyed the books from page one as a commentary on societies, hers being made up of factions, the dauntless who espouse bravery, and believe society failed because of cowardice, the abnegation who believe in selflessness and believe society's fall occurred because of greed and selfishness, the candor who believe in honesty and truth believing deception destroyed us, amity who believe in non-violence and friendships and finely the erudite, the ones seeing knowledge and information who believe ignorance brought about our downfall, the books are bassicly about the transformation of Beatrice the daughter of an abnegation family as she chooses to join the dauntless on her birthday, as she struggles to adjust to the faction differences between that of her youth, and her new family, if she survives the initiation process. Through out this we learn quickly that she is something called divergent, the boogyman of her society, which if discovered will mean her death. So through the books we, with triss, her new dauntless name seeks to survive initiation, while trying to learn the ever more dangerous secret of divergence, which we learn some of in book two where we learn of a possible secret which could save or destroy their entire society, which now she must choose to try to discover, or remain loyal to her faction. Now I wait for the last book which will answer all our questions, and tie up all the loose ends, in brief add Harry potter with hunger games and you have this series, in fairness the second book I read in one sitting, it was pretty good, once I got into the first it wasn't bad, considering so much exposition was needed, but that's a book for you, if you liked hunger games enjoy, if you like psychology enjoy, basicly I hope you enjoy them as much as I did, and they are available on kindle.

  2. Hate to give away spoilers but the divergents are able to think in more than one way so our protagonist triss is equally brave, self sacraficing and smart, the first tri divergent person ever ergo the most dangerous
