Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Rating : 3,5 / 5

Goodreads : One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

My review : This review is really hard to write. I loved Divergent. It was one of my favorite books in 2011. And that's huge since i'm not a great fan of dystopian books (Hunger Games and Divergent are the only exceptions). So Insurgent was one of my most anticipated books for 2012. And after reading it... I will admit that I'm disappointed.
Well I did like some parts of the book. I've always loved the idea of the factions and the values they represent. And it was really interesting in Insurgent because we discover the headquarters of other factions such as candor, amity, erudite... And Veronica Roth is also talking more in this one about the people transferred from one faction to another one. I also like that in this series there is no triangle couple. There are a lot of triangle couples in YA books but here it's just about Tris and Four. And it's not all peaceful either they are really struggling in this one to keep their relationship. What I also liked when I was reading Insurgent was that Veronica Roth surprised me sometimes with some characters choices and the author is really good at building suspence.
But yes I'm disappointed. It didn't compare with Divergent at all. I had such a strange feeling when I read Insurgent because I didn't recognize the characters especially Tris. I can understand that they've changed after everything they've been through but it was still weird. Tris has changed a lot after what happened in the first book during the attack simulation and it's still haunting her. In Insurgent she is so reckless and she don't even know if she wants to survive and it was really weird to see her like that. Hopefully her attitude is better towards the end. But yeah I know that I can't understand what she is going through but this book is just full of whine and moping around and I wans't hooked. Reading about her guilt over Will death really annoyed me because the whole book is basically talking about that.
And the end... I don't even know what to say about this end... I didn't like it. Everything was so familiar about it. And I expected way more from the author.
So yes i'm going to read the third book because it's the final book and I want to know how the series end. But I'm not very excited to read it.
