Divergent series

My first book review! Since I'm gonna post short stories here, I thought I should recommend good reads too.

DIVERGENT series: story line

Rather unique! You will love this book if you love reading about adventures. The whole setting is original and creative.

Plot is well-developed and the suspense can kill! I think my sister couldn't put the book down when she read it.

Themes:

Adventure, friendship, betrayal, even a bit of romance.

The romance makes the characters seem more real and not asexual like the characters in hunger games. On certain pages, fear is induced and on others, hope instead. Not forgetting, sadness and hopeless. The book has a good mix of emotions for a person to feel.

Characters:

Best part of the novel to me. I love characters that are complex and well-developed because it makes them more real. Characters are not "too good to be true". The book is very character-oriented, if I may quote my sister. After reading the book, the characters are still memorable and dear in my head.

Action:

Oh, this is the bit where adventurous people like! I'm kidding. This is the part where people cringe or have a small voice in their head screaming "STOP!!!!!!". There are fights and violence in this book but no, it's not like any other fight you can find in another book. Veronica's writing makes the violence disturbing and painful to read. The good use of visual and sensory imageries, I salute you, Mrs. Roth!

Downsides of book:

Heard of killing off characters unnecessarily? It happens in the second book. This is just in my opinion. It was sad when the characters died, but the sadness was very shortlived for some of them because they weren't mentioned in any other part of the book later on. Or the sadness was not prolonged through the characters who were grieving in that one page. The characters who died would have left an even more powerful impact if they were more remembered.

Many characters died. It was too difficult to feel like it was a happy ending but somehow the other characters were happy in the end. I felt that that made the characters' real feelings flawed. Better to acknowledge a teeny weeny bit of sadness even in the last page.

Overall:

Very good!! Worth reviewing. 4 out of 5 stars ✨✨✨✨

My opinion on Divergent!
Pardon me if everything sounds pretty general, I wouldn't want to give much away! You're in for big surprises and shocks.
