Terrific follow up but not quite as good as the first (which often happens in a Trilogy then you find Part 3 picks up the pace and is the best of them all, which I fully expect to happen here) hence 4 stars rather than the 5 I gave to "Divergent". Following the events of the first book, Tris is determined that she is going to find out the truth about her world. With the factions at war, she doesnt know who to trust and as a reader you are unsure as well - so as Tris continues her journey you do too - who is friend? Who is foe? Just what IS the secret that the Erudite are willing to kill to keep. It unfolds at a terrific pace and I really cannot wait until October to read the final part of the story. Of all the YA "Trilogies" I have had the pleasure of reading, this one so far is the one that has come closest to matching the emotive feel of "The Hunger Games" and, indeed, you feel that Tris and Katniss, should they ever meet, would be one heck of a team. Terrific.
