Centered on themes of self-discovery and resistance against a repressive regime, the novel captivates readers with its intense narrative and thought-provoking questions about individuality and societal norms.

The plot clips along at an addictive pace, with steady jolts of brutal violence and swoony romance.

No matter; all the "good" characters adore her and the "bad" are spiteful and jealous.

Divergent Book Review. What I love about this story is how real the characters and the setting all feel, despite the dystopian setting, which is all down to Roth's genius.

This left me with a fairly poor taste in my mouth about the whole series with the feeling that it felt very "samey" to any other generic YA dystopian novel.
