insurgent is the 2nd in the trilogy
Fabulous take on the "Well crap the human race has really screwed up the world". Set in and around what was once Chicago, a place of devastation has become well controlled.
In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue -- Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is -- she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.... {from cover of book}
