I think that I compared this a little to much to the Hunger Games, and it has much more fighting and less gentle moments than HG. And I tend to get a little bored by the fighting scenes. I also wasn't super in love with Tris since she seemed to be a little mean and kind of feral? I get her rebelling against the obedience and service that defined her whole life, but dang, she lost all her empathy. I'm not sure if I'll continue this series. Also, majorrrrr props to Ms. Roth for writing this IN COLLEGE. That's so unreal.
