I remember reading Dualed last year and really enjoying it, so I'm happy to say I also enjoyed Divided. I was definitely intrigued with this world of "Alts" that Chapman created and was surprised that there would be a sequel considering the first book was pretty conclusive. However, Chapman managed to capture my attention just as well with this book. 
 Much of Dualed was focused around West being a striker and it was interesting to see those skills come back into play in this book in a somewhat different way. Being a striker wasn't all fun and games for West, it was something she had to do for herself. Now, being practically forced to do it again, for the promise of a brighter future, it was definitely a trip seeing West battler her inner demons and come to terms with her guilt and eventual acceptance of her life. I actually liked West as a character, even more so this time around and in the first. She felt a bit weak to me at times in the first book and you really get to see how much she's grown and changed in this one. I also loved her interactions with Chord. Such a sweet, yet not overshadowing romance. I thought it fit perfectly with the story. 
 In Divided, you get more background information about how this world came to be and the sinister truths that their "government" is hiding. Things don't get fully resolved, leaving a pretty open ending, but it was also a satisfying ending. I could see myself enjoying more adventures from West and her friends, and there's certainly more that Chapman could explore in this world. Overall, it was a very satisfying and thrilling series. As I'm not that into dystopians anymore, this one had the right amount of depth and elements to keep me engaged without it being too much or not enough.
