Divergent

I am a bit burned out on Teenager In Dystopia novels, but this was still pretty fun! There were a few points that threw me out of the story where all of the ‘rules' of this society were ignored to move plot points along.

Potential Spoiler
Throughout the beginning of the book it was stressed that Factions come before Blood (family) and there was no mingling. It was also stressed that the Transfers could only see their family once on the visiting day and there are no stories of anyone visiting another Faction- even if becoming Factionless. Yet, Tris just walks into the other faction, visits her brother, and heads home and there are no Faction related consequences- just related to running into the Bad Guys.

Frustrating, but not enough to ruin the enjoyment of the book. I liked the idea of trying to live up to ideals and really liked the character of Tris. Very different than the other novels where the girls start passive and learn to be more assertive.

Planning to read the next in the series soon!
