Stellar. I haven't read it since high school, but I think I loved it even more this time around.

It has been a long time since I read a book I would love so much. Fantasy, dystopian, it's all so welcoming. The world created might be dangerous, but the way the author writes, makes me feel like I would have given up everything to be in that place. Not only the world created is stupendous, but the characters are so lovable that I'd do anything to replace someone from the book (not people like Peter though).  The aura, the longing for something romantic, the ecstatic feeling when something goes in Tris's or Four's favor and the emotional hurt when someone good dies out of bravery or because of that Jeanine is just so overwhelming that I could not just keep it down and read for hours not thinking about anything, but the book. This book was just PERFECT!

Pretty good I guess. Haven't finished the series but so far the second book is going well! I liked some of the characters I think. I guess sometimes it gets a tiny bit slow, but overall I think it was pretty fast-medium paced!
