Amity 4EVER.

The five faction society has entered a point of no return. Abnegation wiped out, Erudite and Dauntless fighting each other and everyone else, Amity and Candor dragged into a war they never asked for; and from the shadows, the rising Factionless, those without a faction. Tris, the runaway Divergent, along Four and a handful of refugees, trying to survive in world prone to destroying itself completely.

This was an excellent sequel, although not as good as the that perfect first Divergent. LOVED getting to know the Amity faction in detail; how their society worked, the joint decision making process, their self-sufficiency, and how they were so mellow man! And that’s why I’ll always chose Amity over any other faction. My hometown. I have mixed feelings regarding Johanna though, and also don’t remember Evelyn fondly at all. Peter still a triple crossing bastard, (view spoiler)

Several moments to remember by. (view spoiler) A lot of action, plot twists, heartbreak, heart melt, and a mind-blowing ending. A good and solid sequel in every sense. Recommendable.

*** Insurgent (2015) is an ok adaptation that sadly doesn’t make any justice to the book. The scenography is gorgeous, the actions scenes on point, great effects, decent screenplay, faithful to the book; yet for everything done right on the whole it amounted to average at best. I’m not exactly sure what went wrong. The first movie was good, not great but good; this second one was barely acceptable. Good enough to watch, sure, just don’t expect much.

-----------------------------------------------

Cordialidad 4100PRE.

La sociedad de las cinco facciones entró en un punto sin retorno. Abnegación destruida, Erudición y Osadía peleando entre sí y contra todos los demás, Cordialidad y Verdad involucradas en una guerra que nunca pidieron; y desde las sombras, los emergentes Abandonados, aquellos sin facción. Tris, la fugitiva Divergente, junto a Cuatro y un puñado de refugiados, tratando de sobrevivir en un mundo empeñado en autodestruirse completamente.

Esta fue una excelente secuela, aunque no tan buena como fue ese primer perfecto Divergente. . AME conocer la facción de Cordialidad en detalle; cómo funciona su sociedad, el proceso de toma de decisiones en conjunto, la autosuficiencia, ¡y cómo eran de pacíficos! Y es por eso que siempre elegiré Cordialidad por sobre cualquier otra facción. Es mi hogar. Aunque tengo sentimientos mezclados con respecto a Johanna, y tampoco guardo cariño por Evelyn. Peter siempre un bastardo triple traicionero, (view spoiler)

Muchos momentos para el recuerdo. (view spoiler) Mucha acción, giros de trama, momentos desgarradores y conmovedores, y un final que vuela la mente. Una buena y sólida secuela en todo sentido. Recomendable.

*** Insurgente (2015) es una adaptación aceptable que lamentablemente no le hace mucha justicia al libro. La escenografía es hermosa, las escenas de acción acordes, geniales efectos, decente guión, fiel al libro; y aun así por todo lo que salió bien en su conjunto llega a ser promedio como mucho. No estoy exactamente seguro que salió mal. La primer película era buena, no excelente pero buena; esta segunda fue apenas aceptable. Suficientemente buena para ver, por supuesto, sólo no esperen mucho.

Thank you Nora! I really don't think this is your cuppa, unless you secretly like very very YA books and I totally forgot about it lol. But dunno, surprises happen, and you can never really tell until you are there :p

Thanks so much for sharing your honest opinion, Federico. I probably won’t be reading this series.


Diana I remember loving this book. Glad you enjoyed it. I know I watched the movie but I guess it wasn’t very memorable 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can’t recall anything about whether or not I enjoyed it

Anytime! Hope I'm very wrong if you ever give it a go :)

Thank you Diana! Well I call that very good news lol! Better to stay with loving feelings for the book alone than ruin it with memories of a second rate forgettable movie xD


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Wonderful review Federico

Thank you Rosh! Lol. You know I'm nor sure I've ever suffered that, or maybe I did once but it was so long ago I don't even remember it anymore. I never have any expectation when reading a book so either good or bad I accept them for what they are, not what I want them to be. That's why you'll never find mention of expectations in any of my reviews. I abandoned them ages ago, they NEVER help, except maybe when they are very low xD

Thank you Zainab! The series is good! One of the best YA I've ever read, and they are far better than the movies, especially #2 and #3 !

• Lindsey Dahling • Amity sounds like the most chill place to live! Let’s be neighbors.


Imme [trying to crawl out of hiatus] van Gorp LMAO i love your obsession with Amity. You’re speaking absolute, 100% facts though; out of all the factions Amity should be the obvious choice for anyone who even remotely aspires to be happy lolll
