Overall I am disappointed with this book after liking the first one. After creating such a specific dystopian society, it crumbled a bit here. Minor things like Cassia mentioning angels when no one has really explained to her what they are (unless I forgot this somewhere in the first book). And somehow managing almost 400 pages where pretty much nothing happens. The switching povs felt forced to me, like Condie was unable to carry this book with Cassia alone. It also kept confusing me since the voices are SO similar. I didn't feel the connection between Cassia and Ky either as I did in the first book. And it just feels like it keeps trying too hard to provoke strife between the relationship and try to force a two boys one girl thing cause that's all the rage now. 
 (view spoiler)[And everyone is just so damn calm when they reach the rising and they just let them be told what to do. Really? The whole point is to chose no? Not to upgrade who tells you where to go and what to do. It lost me there. (hide spoiler)] I still want to see how it ends though.
