I had really been looking forward to reading this as soon as I finished Divergent.

In case you are not already aware, this is considered dystopian fiction, although there are pieces in it for everyone. It has romance, action, adventure, conflict, and all of the things you look for in an awesome novel.

The books in this series are a little longer than what I ...more

Usually the follow up story is dull and unexciting in my experience. Not with this book. Kudos to Roth for making this book exciting to the last breath at the very end.
