“She turns to face the future in a world
that is falling apart.”
This is the story of Tris Prior – A 16
year old girl who is shown as the female protagonist. It is narrated in the
first person. She portrays a character that is selfless, brave as well as
intelligent. Her identity is not the one she believes to have had for the past
15 years. What will happen when the identity which was supposed to be hidden
from the society falls apart as an open book for everyone to have a peep in?
The society sees her as a threat! What will she do? How will she survive in
such a brutal world? Will the love endure everything & yet survive? Will
she lose all the people she love and care about? If yes, how will she survive
with so much of guilt?
A science fiction novel! Though everything
was a fiction, it seemed to grasp all my attention & gave me a very
horrifying journey of Chicago – The place where the story is set in.
The story very well tells that each &
every choice has its consequence. You cannot, at any point escape the
consequences of your choice!
It was a tale full of bravery, selflessness,
love, betrayal & gave me creeps after reading what all the people had to
suffer.
Tobias, the male protagonist of the novel
also portrayed a very brave personality but at the same time, a soft one. His
love for Tris was true and unquestionable but… he had tons of responsibilities
which he can’t run away from.
The story will leave you speechless. You
will be so eager to read the sequel. But at the same time, you are so shaken
that you can’t bring yourself together to read it. But guys! Don’t forget, “Patience is a virtue”.
Do read “Insurgent” the second installment in the
divergent series where love has to face dangerous problems and still be intact,
where the good has to win over evil, where there is no future but just the
present moment to live in…
