This is Book 2 of the Divergent trilogy.
As the second book in the trilogy, Insurgent served its purpose as the bridge between the introductory book and the conclusion. This is the book where everything begins to fall apart. More behind-the-scenes information is revealed regarding the inner workings of this society, and the main conflict of the story is starting to take shape.
Four and Tris continue to star as the main characters, but that also means that their whining and fighting become more prevalent. Roth's characterization of them creates a strange juxtaposition: they live in a faction of society that causes them to grow up quickly and to mature beyond their years, yet Tris and Four continue to handle their relationship like a couple of bickering seventh graders. It was annoying in the first book. It is even more so in this one.
In all, this was still a mostly good book. Roth build a solid world in the first book and began to dismantle it in the second. I am curious to see how she is going to tie up all the loose ends and make sense of the chaos and pain that she has created.
