Which is an incredibly creepy/awkward mental image paired with a teenager.

Insurgent not so much. Tris seeme...Loved Divergent. Insurgent not so much. Tris seemed like a completely different character from the first and it showed in her relationship with Four(Tobias :P Four is a much sexier name). I kept waiting for something to happen in their scenes, but nothing ever did. Bunch a talkin' about feels and responsibilities and not a whole lot else.<br /><br />All in all, second book just seemed so damn drawn out. After I finished, all I kept thinking was... what the hell happened that couldn't have happened at the end of Divergent.<br /><br />I'll still buy the third cuz I love VR's writing. Clean, subtle, and beautiful.Charis Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759985637429496533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989431464635208883.post-79337892058812229702012-12-03T19:32:25.114-08:002012-12-03T19:32:25.114-08:00The Faction idea is very clever. People like logic...The Faction idea is very clever. People like logical, categorized things and latch onto them. But I'm with you, the characters began blurring after awhile. Plus, the kill count went through the roof between the two books.

It's not a wait in line ...I feel the same way. It's not a wait in line for the next one kind of series. It's sort of a "I wonder what's going to happen" kind of thing. I think she's a lot better at world building than character development. She's also UBER religious if you couldn't tell lol.Adrienne Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424957645904594337noreply@blogger.com
