I'm really excited to share this novel (well, trilogy) with you guys, because of all the dystopian novels I've been reading recently, this is my favorite by far.
The novel is set in Chicago, but not the Chicago we know. The city has 5 factions: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Everyone living in the city is born into one of these factions and then when they turn 16, they take an aptitude test to see which faction they are most suited for. After that, they can choose which faction to continue their life in.
These factions all have very different lifestyles and throughout the novel, and in the second book, you can catch a glimpse of these differences. The story is alluring and well written; an intense page turner.
The story follows a girl named Beatrice. While most people show aptitude for one or more rarely two factions, Beatrice shows aptitude for three, meaning she is divergent. The novel follows her life, her decisions, and her search for what being "Divergent" really means, and why it is so scandalous.
The third book is coming out later this year, and I can't wait until it does. There was an intense scene at the end of the third book that has me yearning to read the final installment of this amazing trilogy. These books have a little bit of everything: comedy, romance, action, adventure, suspense...
