It's not very good. But it could be worse. Tris honestly wasn't that annoying and she had one or two smart thoughts, I'm impressed. I expected to hate her guts.
World building makes no sense. There's no way that kind of divide would work for two weeks let alone years.
I don't understand why and how Tris and Four like each other soo much. They both come from the same faction and they're both repressed and apparently that's enough for them. They were interesting when they're literally 20cm apart with all the classical tropes.
The most important thing to remember is that Tris is short. And she likes to remind us of that fact every 5 minutes. Especially if she's close to Four.
Also what kind of nickname is a number? Ofc he's glad she uses his real name, no one want to be called by a number. But Dauntless are known for their strength not their brain.
