Let me start off with saying I started off loving this series. Divergent was a fantastic read with original characters, a unique economy system and a very different view of life in general. It was an enthralling start to the series! But then I got to Insurgent and my opinion began to slip a little. The story began to run a bit dry, Tris seemed to stagnate as a character and even worse was Tobias/Four seemed to regress! Yet overall it was still good, with a surprise at the end. 
 So now the city learns that they were put there, with the factions for a purpose and now it seemed it may be time to leave the city. Or is it? Some want to learn of the outside world, others want the faction system back and others want freedom. Faction leaders are ready to start a new war with each other while Tris gets out of the city to a whole new set of revelations! 
 This book is presented from two POV's. We still have Tris but we also have Tobias taking a step up now too. While in theory this is good, it seemed that Tobias had no voice of his own. Some chapters I had to remind myself of the POV for things to make sense. This left me very disappointed in his character. I had him one way, he read another yet was acting outside of his normal behavior in this, leaving me very unsure of him. 
 I felt this book took a major turn from the previous two books, completely changing the flow. And it just didn't fit very well. The genetics focus just was not appealing after all the faction focus. 
 Tris seemed to improve as a person in this book. She seemed to mature and more confident which I really liked seeing. Caleb and even Peter (sort of) improve there stance in my opinion of them in this book. Not by a lot but a little. I also felt Christina took more a backseat in this one. 
 The ending. Like many other readers, the ending of this book was spoiled for me. So maybe I read this book with a bit of prejudice. I hope the ending has not been spoiled for you. All I will say it that I felt the manor in which the last 15% of the book is handled could have been done in a much better way. 
 So overall, this was okay. While I will most likely read Divergent again some day, I doubt I'll ever read this one again. Once was enough to say I finished the trilogy. While this has earned 3 stars from me, it barely got there.
