May said: " Loved it! Absolutely loved it!
The only thing I have to say is that Divergent was a little better than Insurgent.
Other than that, I felt like the plot was great and we learned more about the characters! "

May’s Quotes

“You didn’t get what you deserved, but you don’t have to live inside that one story forever. No one’s heart has to remain stone.”

“Having a heart is terrible, but you need one anyway.”

“It turned out that Cardan didn't have a heart of stone after all. As he removed his shirt and sank to his knees, as he fisted his hands and tried not to cry out when the strap fell, he burned with hatred. Hatred for Dain; for his father; for all his siblings who didn't take him on and the one who did; for his mother, who spat at his feet as she was led away; for stupid, disgusting mortals; for all of Elfhame and everyone in it. Hate that was so bright and hot that it was the first thing that truly warmed him. Hate that felt so good that he welcomed being consumed by it. Not a heart of stone, but a heart of fire.”
― Holly Black, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

“I think the important thing to realize, to try and remember, is that grief doesn't have a rule book. You're allowed to feel every emotion under the sun. You're even allowed to invent new ones. I think I've done that a few times”
― Katrina Leno, Horrid
