Hey guys,
I know it's been a while, but it took forrreeeevvveerrrrr for this book to arrive. Basically, ordered it, it got lost in the mail, had to be resent, 3/4 weeks later. Arrived.
Three (ish) weeks to arrive and like a day to read, if even. Also, works been nuts too so that added to the delayed post. (Sorry!)
Anyway, back to the book. Plot still follows Tris on her search to save everyone, including herself it would seem, few added characters such as, Four's 'dead' mum, Evelyn (wwhhaaaattttt?!), more ups and downs and betrayal.
Tris, seemingly is going through a mental breakdown, which confused the hell out of me, I usually am quite good at picking up people's emotions and thoughts but this storyline just completely threw me.
Does she love Four? Who can she trust? Can she trust herself? Does she even know what the hell is going on herself? What is happening?!
Confusion aside, was not as impressed by this novel as the first. The plot twists were amazing though, if not a smidge confusing (especially at the end- you'll see what I mean). I had to read the last chapter three times and even now I'm not entirely sure what's happening.
Of course this could be Roth's intention, could even be a marketing ploy to get people to buy the third book. Who knows?
Anyway, the romance factor is at an all time low, no real mystery with Four any more, just confusion. Lust or love?
Friendship with Christina seems to be irreparable after the disaster of the first simulation, however this comes to a head and the damage is seemingly repaired.
New fear of the Factionless comes into play and with good reason!
Caleb, (Tris' brother) reveals himself to be so much more conniving than a simple Abnegation brought up boy ought to be.... And that's all I'll say on that matter.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this one if you read it or have read it!
