The Divergent Series By Veronica Roth - Reading from 'Divergent (Divergent #1)' from July 2nd 2019

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

sorry for being super late but I didn't have a chance to come here and post my update..

i'm at chapter 19 (view spoiler)["i knew they're gonna use the factionless at some point, but would it be fruitful? but do you guys get lost in the details like me? like how can a faction possess a simulation machine and others don't and who monitors their results? why do the factionless have them? and if they did have the largest number of divergents why didn't they rebel? (hide spoiler)]

ugh! so many questions!

[Christina]

Chapter 42- (view spoiler)[i wonder what's beyond that fence that would explain why only a select few know about it.

I'm glad Christina and Tris made up and became good friends again! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@ashwag chapter 19
(view spoiler)[Erudite possess a simulation machine because theyre the people who are chosen/responsible for technological advancement :P I guess that makes sense to me. Only they're 'smart enough' to come up with it

I reckon the factionless/divergent should've rebelled but I think they didn't have the motivation until the dauntless came along (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End (view spoiler)[I had a feeling all would be revealed on the last page. And wow what a revelation! Edith must be one of Tris' ancestors who started the factions.

I thought there were quite a lot of deaths in this book.. Too many for my liking - Marlene, Lynn, Fernando. Only Jeanine s one was worth it (hide spoiler)]

Allegient anyone?

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 33 (view spoiler)[I love this confrontation with Jeanine and Tris.. What is this stuff about what's behind the fence? I hope it's true and not just a myth and that there's nasty things out there (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I loved the Peter twist I am hoping to get some development for his character later.. but I also still don't buy how Caleb could betray his sister that easily.. (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Christina wrote: "@ashwag chapter 19 [spoiler removed]"

(view spoiler)[yeah it makes sense for Erudite to have one but the Dauntless have their own simulation machine as well (when Four was showing Tris his fear simulation)

But If they're Divergent they shouldn't have to wait for anyone don't they? There's still not much revealed about the factionless and I'm eager for more (hide spoiler)]

Ofc I'll be starting Allegiant with you once I finish Insurgent tomorrow..

I am right around here right now myself. And agree. Lots of mysterious variables regarding the factionless. Around this chapter (I think a few before(view spoiler)[Biggest shock of the book so far-Uriah! Did not see that coming! (hide spoiler)]

..."

(view spoiler)[him being a Divergent u mean? yeah didn't see that coming either.. it's a nice twist (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@ashwag
(view spoiler)[Yea I couldn't believe Caleb betrayed his sister. Faction thicker than blood man (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

I was wondering if we could buddy Allegient maybe on Boxing day? And hopefully finish by the new year!

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Ending (view spoiler)[i am sad Jeanine died.. and who is Edith Prior? What's her role gonna be in? And the city is inside the fence so people can have their moral compasses functioning again and the divergent will emerge as the rescuers?? Why did Jeanine stopped them then in all the 2 books? I wish that reason was clear.. (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "I was wondering if we could buddy Allegient maybe on Boxing day? And hopefully finish by the new year!"

That would be fine with me..

[Christina]

@ashwag (view spoiler)[Yes it is a bit sad Jeanine died. She was protecting everyone from the outside but I think in the end she was power hungry (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@ashwag
Are we still up for this? I am going to start! :D

[Christina]

Wtf - Tobias' point of view?? That was what made Fiery Heart so difficult to read.. introducing the male's POV. I hope this doesn't happen :(

[Christina]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[Evelyn is a tyrant just as Jeanine was. Too controlling (hide spoiler)]

[Gwen]

finished!!!! <3

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Date changed ☺

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

@Christina yeah I'll start it today :)

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 20 - (view spoiler)[i'm really lost in this genetic explanation.. but revelations are pouring left and right for both Tris and Tobias... speaking of Tobias he is acting way over the top.. RIP Tori you're missed!

and why are the other characters less utilized? I want more Peter.. is this institution for real? Or is it a classic lab psychos? (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 9 - (view spoiler)[Its's kind of sad that Caleb will be executed for his actions... :(

I'm not surprised by the gang who call themselves Allegiant. I'm really curious about what's outside the fence. (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 9 - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[it's true he did some nasty shit but he doesn't deserve to die..

I don't like how it's so slow nothing is happening except Tris judging everyone which is starting to get infuriating.. and I'm starting to rethink me shipping Tris and Four :( (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[it's quite sad that the people within the factions are so isolated that they don't know what's happening outside. Like they've never heard of the United States of America and that the divergent are people who have healed enough from genetic experiments to not only demonstrate one trait. Shockingly there's three active experiments with factions! (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I am close to finishing. after chapter 35 the pace is picking up ..

Chapter 46 (view spoiler)[i honestly don't want Caleb to die.. (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Finished it (view spoiler)[Tris's death shocked me and i had tears in my eyes after. The end fit Tris's character somehow, i just felt it. She's a hero and dying as one is really great ending in my book. It pained me Tobias's reaction but I loved his new friendship with Christina (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 21 - (view spoiler)[Tobias isn't actually Divergent - shock. But Tris is right.. he's still the same person. I mean I would feel down if I found I was genetically defected but then I'd just get over it. Because what does that mean anyway? Genes don't really define who we are (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 21 - [spoilers removed]"

Men and their egos xD

[Christina]

Chapter 30- (view spoiler)[Things are starting to feel uneasy... Tobias and Tris are sort of butting heads and doing their own thing. And it scares me (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 42 - (view spoiler)[As much as I hate Caleb, I hope he doesn't drop dead from the death serum... (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 46 - (view spoiler)[No way. Don't tell me Tris wants to sacrifice herself based on some Abnegation quote that its worth losing a life to show she loves someone. COME ON. I can't. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 56 - (view spoiler)[I think it is for the best that Tobias takes the memory serum. Whats the point of grieving all the time? Damn..I cant believe Tris is gone. I dont like sad endings. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Finishing thoughts: (view spoiler)[Seriously I didn't see the need for Tris' death. It was uncalled for. And I couldn't wait for the story to be over because I was just too shocked to handle it. Tobias' view after it was painful to read but I managed. I'm glad he faced his fear of heights head on and made Tris proud. But still. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Chapter 2

(view spoiler)[ To me,it looked like that the faction Beatrice will choose will not be Abegnation. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Chapter 3

(view spoiler)[ The fact that some people live factionless makes me feel sad about those people. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Around the beginning of the book

(view spoiler)[ She is divergent. Wow!! There is a reason why this book is called Divergent. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Around the beginning of the book

(view spoiler)[ The name "Tris" sounds way better than Beatrice. Also, I knew that she would end up at Dauntless as I was reading this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

Towards the end of the book

(view spoiler)[ Peter deserves to dies, in my opinion. Why would Tris save him. Ugh!!! I do not like him at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim]

(view spoiler)[ I love the romance between Tris and Four. I ship it!! (hide spoiler)]

[Leelynn]

Can I join in with you guys?

[Danielle]

I'd love to read this as well :D

[Leelynn]

I actually just started it last night and omg there's this part that I really wish the movie included.

[Danielle]

That's usually how it works unfortunately! They always get rid of AMAZING things.

[Leelynn]

Page 206: (view spoiler)[OMG SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO KILL EDWARD WTF. They should have totally kept that in the movie. And the way Tris realized that her mom was Dauntless came way earlier than it did in the movie. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

I started a little late but I'm on chapter twelve at the moment. (view spoiler)[ I hate this premise so far. People don't just have one personality trait. Tris' brother is just one example I've seen so far, he was kind and intuitive there is no way you can't be kind and enjoy learning. I'm so confused right now. The jumping off the train thing was crazy, that doesn't prove anything. Some people may just get lucky, other's might lose their balance. Also, why couldn't Tris have a conversation with Robert? Why so strict? Meh, sorry about the ranting but I hate this so far. (hide spoiler)]
