I LOVED this book. There are just so many good things about it. the dystopian world that the author created was fun and unique, and I loved how different the factions were from each other but that they each had a specific role. At first I had trouble remembering which faction was which, but that’s just me. Dauntless is my favourite so far.

I liked how Tris just went for the other faction, how she managed to make some friends and how she became strong, even after everything that was happening around her. Her uniqueness, the Divergent part of her, was interesting too. The people are so categorized into their faction, that anyone deviating outside of it, or showing a trait that isn’t supposed to belong to them, is shown as dangerous and those people are usually killed. Tris needs to be extra careful because of it. Her romance with Four was very cute too, I was rooting for them the whole time.

I literally had trouble putting this book down, it was an awesome read for a debut author, and I am super excited for when the next book comes out!

I highly recommend if for dystopian fans, or anyone that wants to try something new.
