Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Insurgent by Veronica Roth - 525 pages
We start the second book off with Tris and Four on the run from Jeanine. They are running with several friends and Marcus, Four’s abusive dad. They try to get sanctuary from Candor first. Only, after both of them had to undergo truth serum to reveal several things they didn't want to reveal to everyone, did Tris and Four find out they cannot trust Candor enough to stay. They then ran to the peace-loving Amity. It was sad to see how Four went from a seemingly confident adult to an abused and scared child when his father was around. It was nice to see Tris open up to her brother some while they had downtime at the Amity compound. They are both grieving a great loss. The scene when Tris gets the peace serum injected was pretty funny. It put a small amount of humor into a depressing area of the book. After they are chased out of the Amity compound by Jeanine and the traitor Dauntless they run into some factionless.  The Group with Tris is taken to a building where they find out the factionless are not so unorganized. Tris is in for a big surprise at who the leader of the factionless is. She has a hard time working with her and planning the next step of the attack since she doesn't like the leader and is still messed up from the last attack and when she was taken, hostage. She delivered herself to Jeanine after some people were hurt, with the promise of more being hurt in the future if she didn't. She went through some horrible thing before she escaped. This part was hard to read.  I was glad when they finally got to attack Jeanine and the traitors. This book definitely had some dark moments but it was a good book. One I can recommend.
