This is all my humble opinion so bear with me.
As a sometimes critical reader of YA fiction, I was impressed by this book. It definitely was hard to put down at times which is a good indication of a well put together novel (unless it’s an awful train wreck that you can’t bear to look away from). I’ve heard some complaints about the lack of action in the story and how it’s rather slow, but do remember that this is a second novel in a trilogy. It’s this is a common occurrence. The first novel sets the tone and grabs the reader’s attention, the second is usually used to give out necessary information to piece important ends together, and the third is again action packed with the finale. So a slower second was not a surprise.
Pros: To be honest, in the series I am completely flabbergasted by Tris’ “no regrets” attitude. It’s something fresh. Most often in YA fiction, females tend to care about everyone and everything. The emotional caregiver role is dumped on them again and again. Tris can be blunt and unforgiving; a very human and realistic characteristic. She is not sorry for everything she does, she makes big mistakes, and she is human through and through. Also, Tris does do some sneaking around behind Four’s back. Very crafty, that one.
Cons: The book does follow the typical rise and fall of a young adult romance novel; the relationship between Four and Tris is rocky at some parts but it ultimately works out in the end. I didn’t expect anything less from picking a book up from this section. Plot wise was a little slow, but I mentioned that beforehand.
I will soon start making some reviews and posting more often… sighs
