Having loved Volume 1, it seemed logical that I will read the two. In addition, the film is released there is little, it was an opportunity to plunge into it having been boosted with the said film.
So we find Tris after the attack against the scholars of Caring. Factions no longer exist and with Tris and Four (Tobias real name), many people were rescued from the massacre. However, Tris is not like before. She killed his friend Will and blames himself immensely. Even if she had to do it, she regrets and would love to go back. It contains slowly on itself, and the fighting we saw in Volume 1 is cleared to find a corrupt person, afraid to hold a gun in his hand.
Tobias tries well to help, but even with that, Tris does not confide. In this volume, we learn many things that are not necessarily in favor of Divergent and friends, who are constantly in danger. Although the atmosphere of this Volume 2 is more confined and black level Action, Volume 1 was for me more fulfilled.
However, even if I have less hung with this second volume, the author managed to surprise me several times. Characters that did not like and which one was suspicious in 1 happen to be good allies in what is going on behind their backs. On the contrary, those in whom they had confidence betray their values to devote himself to a cause they believe winning.
In fact, what made me quite disappointed in this book, this is Tris. I thought finding a strong girl, ready to fight, although it has lost loved ones to his heart. What precisely, these losses would make stronger, she would fight and defend its honor. Instead, she shrivels, do not dare reach out to worries, and when it does, it is not necessarily the best idea she had in her life.
The character that touched me most in this Volume 2 is Tobias. Unlike Tris and despite falling real identity, he remains himself and defends his qualities and priorities. While it is repress Tris repeatedly and that their relationship is now creates a chasm that forms gradually, it does not lose hope and try every means to recover it but especially to revive the old Tris, one he fell in love.
The end is very fascinating, and I have not managed to win before the last word. But now, the famous last words left me unfinished and almost bitter taste in the mouth ... When I finished my reading, my reaction was "what, that's it? It ends like this? ". I expected an end a little more phenomenal, which undoubtedly leads to pursue in stride with the Volume 3, No, I do not end this made me want to know more, I'm even a little disappointed. Although the twists were present, I found that the author had been too fast.
Finally, a tome that seemed promising, that would have been so Tris had not changed much. Swing and persevering, it went low, closed in on itself and not wanting any help from his friends. Fortunately Tobias was there to raise the level, but a shame that this is not his point of view that has been in the spotlight. In reading this column, maybe we can feel that I'm upset about the course of this volume, but no, I'm pretty frustrated and disappointed. No upset. Fortunately also that twists were indeed present, to keep a rhythm to the book, urging us to go further. A far end which I imagined, and almost sloppy, to move on. It does not make me want to read the end of the saga in stride, which is a shame. Despite everything I do, because I love the universe created by the author.
