Insurgent

I can't believe I forgot to write a blog post about this 2nd installment of Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy. The second book holds up well and is full of shattering revelations. Four/Tobias learns that his mother is alive and leading an army of the "Factionless," who plan to take over the city in the wake of the Erudite's slaughter of the Abnegation faction. Tris is held for trial, convicted as a traitor, and scheduled for execution by the Erudite (still led by Jeanine). Her brother plays a major role in that process, as does Tris' arch-enemy, Peter.  A plot summary from Wikipedia is here. Read it and go see the movie, "Divergent."
