I currently started reading the third book of the Divergent series called "Allegiant." It starts off with chaos as people find out that they were sent there for a greater purpose of helping the outside during wartime. A factionless lady; Tobias' mother takes over and says that no one is allowed to leave the city and all factions will be destroyed. Tris is sent off as a prisoner since she helped Marcus behind Tobias' back but, she is soon freed because she can lie while under this thing called the truth serum. As the townspeople have many different opinions and some are not loyal to Evelyn (Tobias's mother) a group is created called the Allegiant. They soon find Tris and ask her to join them to escape the city and do what they were sent here to do. I look forward to reading their journey outside of the cities gates.
In Romeo and Juliet I am really enjoying the twists and drama. I like how Romeo has first fallen in love with a nun named Rosaline and mopes because she will not love him back or marry him. I was not expecting that and I found it very interesting. I also enjoyed how Juliet claims that she does not want to be married and then at the party she meets Romeo and they kiss passionately. I look forward to see how they make their love work and how their families handle it. I am concerned about how Tyblat would handle the news because once he found out that their were Montague's at the party he wanted to kill Romeo! he seems very violent and ruthless, so I think he will try to keep them apart.

I recently just finished the second book of the Divergent series called "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth. The last book left off on a huge cliff hanger so I was really eager to finish this book. Tris learns that her Divergence is more important than ever. It guides her along a rough and dangerous path as the world she once knew starts to crumble and fall into pieces. She learns to trust her boyfriend Tobias which is hard for her because many people have betreyed her including her own brother. "He chose faction over blood," thats what Tris says. This tears her into pieces; it reminds me of "The Hunger Games" because they are both books about dystopian socities, war, and love.
I would characterize Tris as stubborn, strong and very intelligent. Her divergence allows her mind to think in different ways for example she had an apitude for three different factions and that is almost unheard of. So she uses her open mind or in other words "divergence" to solve problems like saving all the divergent kids she can from the wretched symulations that an evil manipulative Erudite woman named Jeanine operated on innocent citizens. The book ended in a very chaotic cliff hanger. I am looking forward to reading the last book.
