One more chapter to hook me. That's all you get.

All the future technology at their disposal and they're training with knives...

Also, the way the Instructor continuously says "Cool" is just striking me as weird.

Is an actual plot going to show up sometime soon?

Visions of Tris' fight in the beginning of being part of Dauntless...Divergent (granted I've only seen the movie so far)

Immediate recognition--that's why they pushed themselves so hard. Although training has just begun, the instructors are already paying attention to them as potential officers.

Well, no shit. How didn't you realize that you were going to be evaluated from the very moment that you joined??

After Dad died, I despaired of fielding sympathy, retreated inside myself, and let Umbriel deal with everyone on my behalf. I'd once been talkative, but I soon realized that words wasted my breath.

If I'd read the book blurb, I'd have realized why she wasn't talking I guess.

Her personality reminds me of Katniss' prickliness.

"We'll be fine," Umbriel tells her. "Maybe Shelter's not as bad as people say."

He's wrong. It's worse.

1. I predict Umbriel's going to die.
2. The MC still hasn't spoken a single word.

"What's bugging you?"

[internal thoughts about things]

"I know--it's that chemistry test..."

[internal thoughts about how incredibly smart she is]

'Guess you're just tired, then..."

[internal thoughts about how we need more privacy and our shift is almost done]

I'm not entirely sure why, but this seriously irritates me.
