I hurt his pride yesterday, and not just during capture the flag-Max pulled me aside at breakfast to ask how the initiates were doing, as if Eric was not the one in charge. "Tomorrow will be the last day of stage one," Eric says. Lined up across from me are the faction transfers, who still bear, in one way or another, the marks of their old factions: the straight-backed Candor, the steady-eyed Erudite, and the Stiff, leaning into her toes so she's ready to move. Against one wall is a table covered with throwing knives-ugly metal instruments with a hole at one end, perfect for inexperienced initiates. Every time I breathe this air I feel it again.Īt one end of the room is a slab of wood with a target painted on it. This was the first place I ever felt strong. You’ll need to read the trilogy in order, but once you start with book 1 Divergent, we promise you will not be able to put it down.I wouldn't have volunteered to train the initiates if not for the smell of the training room-the scent of dust and sweat and sharpened metal. We recommend this book to YA fans from 11/12 upwards due to some adult themes and graphic battle scenes. In 2014, Divergent was also adapted into a Hollywood film starring Shailene Woodley as Tris, with films of Insurgent and Allegiant following the next two years. The books deliver plenty of action and great battle scenes and are ideal for Science Fiction fans. Tris is a strong and determined female character and her relationship with Four is intriguing. The dystopian trilogy written by Veronica Roth has been a huge hit with young adult readers thanks to its addictive storyline. As civil war rages, Tris battles with keeping her friends and family safe, a new romance and the danger of her true nature as a Divergent. She has to figure out who her friends really are, complete the extreme tests of endurance, whilst at the same time keeping her potentially deadly secret. In her new faction, Tris realises how divided society is.
At the initiation, Beatrice makes a surprising choice – to follow her true nature and transfer to Dauntless, becoming Tris. In this society, there is no such thing as free will.īeatrice Prior is born into the Abnegation faction, but when she turns sixteen, she must choose the faction to which she will devote her life. Each faction believes their characteristic to be the most important value: Candor value honesty above all things, Abnegation selflessness, Dauntless courage, Amity peace and Erudite intelligence. Society is divided into five factions where citizens live with other like-minded comrades. In post-apocalyptic Chicago, humanity is ruled on one principle: all citizens are defined by their dominant characteristic which they must live and act according to.
