What can i say!? Veronica, you did it again! After a looooong wait. It was amazing.
Oh boy there were moments in this book that I didn’t know what to think or feel.
One thing for sure, I don’t know what was Veronica’s purpose about our feelings toward Tris. But speaking for myself I wanted to slap her in the face so many times that I lost count by the end.
And see? Now I’m confused, I don’t know if I like her anymore. What I know is that when I closed divergent, I realize she was one of my favorite heroines. I rooted for her the whole time. But now?! Good God I didn’t recognize her. She wasn’t kidding when she said she is selfish. Everything was about her. Her guilt, her pain… even when she thought she was sacrificing herself for the others, she wasn’t. She was trying to find an easy away to end her misery. She used her weaknees to pretend to be brave. She didn’t take in consideration what her parents did for her life, or Four. It was like she didn’t give a shit about him. Ugh! She just decide to die and that was it. What about him?!
So now I don’t know who she is, and if she’s this girl, then I don’t think like her. She’s young and she trying to find out who she is so I’m not going to be hard on her. But I really didn’t like how she behaved in this book.
Then we have Four, and he was great. I wasn’t disappointed with him at all. He’s dealing with his own issues too, but he’s still that guy. And I loved how he treated Tris. It was so nice to see this other side of him. I loved the good moments between them. And I have to say THANK YOU VERONICA for not making a love triangle there. It would be awful because they’re still knowing each other, so it would mess everything up. And to be honest I’m already so tired of it. It was original. Their relationship wasn’t easy and all flowers but it was still just about them, how to make things work between just them.
And it was also great to learn more about the other factions and the factionless. It was confusing sometimes I have to admit, but still great.
I wasn’t expecting that end. It was a good cliffhanger. Now there is a lot of “who is this”, “what is this”, “what about now”…
Oh boy… what are we gonna do now!? this is going to be a long wait.
But I have to be honest here. I think Divergent was better. Not just because I liked that Tris more, but because things were more simple. Now everything is so messed up that I don’t even know how to describe it.
But I love it.
Lots of action, romance, unexpected betrayals, unexpected alliances… It was amazing, a truly roller coaster.
I love this world and all those people even some bad guys.
So insurgent… 5 stars for sure, if could I would give it more. I don’t care if there were mistakes, for me what is really important it’s what the book made me fell.

Veronica Roth
“He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.”

Veronica Roth
“I can't force you. I can't make you want to survive this." He pulls me against him and runs his hand over my hair, tucking it behind my ear. His fingers trail down my neck and over my shoulder, and he says, "But you will do it. It doesn't matter if you believe you can or not. You will, because that's who you are.”
Veronica Roth, Insurgent
