![]() To be honest, after the long build-up, I was expecting something more earth-shattering and was left feeling a bit deflated. The only slight disappointment came at the end when the mysterious “information” was finally revealed. ![]() I’d heard mixed reviews of Insurgent, but I thought it was just as good as Divergent. This concise approach suits the dystopian setting: flowery, lengthy descriptions would be out of place in a story dealing with a society on the brink of collapse, threatened by genocide. With just a few short sentences she captures the feel of a place and gets swiftly back to conversation and action. ![]() Instead we are dropped back into the action as the characters have to deal with the fall out from the devastating events at the end of Divergent.Īnother huge plus point (which I don’t think I picked up on in Divergent) is the economy of Roth’s prose style when describing locations. There’s no dithering about to remind us what happened in the last book. One of the things I liked immediately about Insurgent was that the story picks up exactly where Divergent left off and gets on with it. ![]() (In case you don’t know what the series is about – please see the official blurb at the bottom of this review… and here’s my previous review of Divergent) Every bit as good as the first volume of Veronica Roth’s Divergent series, Insurgent is another entertaining read. ![]()
