In Beatice Prior's world, everyone is divided by personality and live in factions; her faction, Abnegation is all about being selfless; Amity, the kind; Candor, the honest; Dauntless, the brave; and Erudite, the intelligent. Every year, every single 16-year old is required to take the Aptitude Test, a test that is supposed to tell you where you best belong. When Beatrice takes her Aptitude Test, she learns that she is Divergent, something that is dangerous, different, and could break the system. At the Choosing Ceremony, a ceremony where all sixteen old choose their faction for the rest of their life, she chooses Dauntless, where during intiation, she changes her name to Tris and meets Four, her mentor who she falls in love with, and teaches her how to hide her divergence. Will Tris be able hide her divergence?


I REALLY like the idea of the factions, it's very realistic and I kinda wish we could try it in real life. The only reason I stopped reading was because I kinda lost interest after Insurgent, but that doesn't mean I don't like the series.

Pros:

•The factions. As I stated above they're very realistic and I love how they all have their own characteristics. Despite it's reputation, Erudite is my favorite.
•I like how in Insurgent, we get an inside look at Amity and Candor.
Zeke's brotherly relationship with Uriah. I have a soft spot for brotherhood.
•Tris is really weak at the beginning of the series, but she gets stronger throughout the series.
•Fernando. He was the only nice Erudite in the series, only to be killed off minutes later.
•Fanfiction-Friendly

Cons:

•Slow-paced at times.
•Erudite is portrayed as evil. Almost every Erudite is evil or mean in the series. It's a bummer because I really like Erudite.


Favorite Character: Christina

She tough and not again to say what's on her mind. I just wish I got to see more of her. Maybe Veronica could make a novella from her POV.

Least Favorite Character: Peter

Peter is just a flat out jerk.


Overall, I rate Divergent, Insurgent, and Alliegant by Veronica Roth, four out of five hearts.
