I seemed to like this one a lot more than the second.
I don't dislike this book, but there were a few things that really bugged me: (1) the two points of view were badly done. The voices were so similar that I kept forgetting who was talking.

Books 18-20 of 2013: The Divergent series by Veronica Roth. I read this whole series as one book as I believe that is best way to tackle this series. The series is a YA dystopian story that takes place in a post-apocolyptic Chicago. Insurgent (#2) and Allegiant (#3) start off in the exact moment (give or take a few minutes) where the previous book leaves off, which is one of the reasons that I read this as one large book rather than separate books.
