Insurgent, by Veronica Roth

The hype surrounding the release of this second book in the Divergent series was palpable.  Teens were vibrating with excitement with the next instalment of a dystopian world featuring Tris and Tobias.

The story itself was a fast paced ride of a story filled with violence, twists, romance and comments on society and human nature.  It did not have a lot of character development, so although I enjoyed the story, it seemed emotionally flat -- the characters starting to appear stock.

Here is the publisher's blurb:
One choice can transform you or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves, and herself, while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows.  And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable, and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must filly embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
