Tris Prior's world is built on factions, divisions and being Divergent. And then, it all crumbles into a million little pieces. At the end of Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent, one small video clipping plunges everything into chaos.
The boundaries of the only home Tris has known falls away and so does the only fear she has known, being hunted for her Divergence.
Insurgent leaves off at a cliff-hanger, and a huge one at that. Looking forward to the third and final instalment of the series, I formed the idea for this review. But somehow, I didn't find myself publishing it until today. Allegiant, the last book of the series is out now, but before I review that, let's learn a little more about Divergence.
Until here, in the series, Divergence was a forbidden topic and it didn't just pop up into a conversation randomly. In fact, if you're Divergent and you talk about it, you're as good as already dead.
Jeanine Matthews, the Erudite head, made it her job to hunt down the Divergent and kill them, and the reason becomes somewhat clear at the end of Insurgent. The video clipping features Edith Prior, who calls to the Divergent. She tells everyone about the state of the world outside the fence, and requests the authorities to send out a Divergent army to purge the world of its illness. Jeanine Matthews sees this as a threat, and does not want to be usurped of her unofficial position as head of the city by the Divergent, who are made out to be all-powerful in the video.
Yet, it is unknown what actually Divergence is, whether it a trait, or the entire personality, whether it is a part of a person or their whole.
All these questions are answered in Allegiant, and I'm not going to start on it now or I probably won't stop before I post all the spoilers here.
