Insurgent




I finished Divergent, so I have moved on to Insurgent, its sequel. Insurgent is a science fiction novel for young adults and was published during May, 2012. It is the second book in the Divergent trilogy that Roth completed in Allegiant. The setting takes place in a dystopian Chicago in the far future, where Lake Michigan has turned into a giant marsh. The Candor compound surrounds a ruined Merchandise Mart. The Amity live on farms, located outside a fence that surrounds the city. The Dauntless compound is the combination of a glass building and a cave underneath it, also known as "The Pit." The Abnegation sector is a neighborhood, where everything looks alike. The Erudite compound is in a futuristic part of the city, including the former site of Grant Park and the buildings are very advanced

 Insurgent won Favorite Young Adult Fantasy, Science Fiction and Author of 2012 in the Goodreads Choice Awards. It was also nominated at Children's Choice Book Awards for Teen book of the year and Author of the year.
