One choice can transform you--or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

"New York Times" bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian "Divergent" series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

For those who have read Divergent and worshiped the book (especially the couple Tobias/Tris) , this book is a must-have book. Di Divergent, akhir ceritanya adalah saat Tris beserta pacarnya, Tobias, kakaknya, Caleb, musuhnya selama di inisiasi, Peter, serta ayah kandung Tobias, Marcus, sedang menyelamatkan diri menuju Amity's compound, where they could stay safely from the dead threats of Erudite and half of Dauntless' traitors for days. Seperti yang tertulis di cover belakang buku, this book is rich with twists, heartbreaks and romance. Entahlah, aku bisa saja menebak 'kejutan' kecil tersebut tapi untuk bagian yang romance dan heartbreaks ini, aku sebal saja melihat pertengkaran Tris dan Tobias  karena keberanian Tris yang dimana di mata Tobias adalah kebodohan yang bisa mengakibatkan kecerobohan yang fatal. 

Trivia: This book won Goodreads Choice Award for Best Young Adult Fantasy and Best Goodreads Author (2012)


I give this book : (4/5 stars)
