I've been wanting from quite some time to write something about the Divergent trilogy.
But then I know that most people haven't even heard about Divergent. It is a trilogy by Veronica Roth, an American author.
Beatrice 'Tris' Prior is the protagonist of the story, which talks about human faults like greed, selfishness, ignorance, cowardice and falsehood. Tris lives in the future of the world, somewhat like The Hunger Games. The society (or what is left over after a huge war that wiped out nations) is divided into factions - groups that have different ideologies. The factions are called Abnegation - the faction of the selfless, Candor - the faction of the truthful, Dauntless - the faction of the brave, Amity - the faction of the peaceful, and Erudite - the faction of the intelligent. Each of these factions has their own headquarters, and residence.
Tris belongs to Abnegation, but somehow, she's never felt like she belongs. When the choosing ceremony comes, Tris is torn between Abnegation, where her parents live, and Dauntless, where her heart lives. Her choice will affect her entire life. And what's more, Tris is one of the Divergent, the people who have been singled out and killed since forever, and no one knows why. Tris' adventure in Divergent and its sequel, Insurgent, follows the path she takes to discover what it means to be Divergent and what the great secret is that all the leaders of Abnegation are hiding.
I definitely recommend this book for people who liked the Hunger Games series, but were disppointed with the last book. So far, the series has held my attention totally, and I hope that the third and final installment, Allegiant, will be up to the expectancy of all its readers.
