Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. We are even free to choose the wrong thing. Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it.Īnd in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure : We are free to choose. Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven-pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.Īfter rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. They have tried to squeeze us out, to stamp us into the past. Initial Reac tion of Book in One Word: AAAAAMAZING "New York Times" bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian "Divergent" series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable-and even more powerful. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors.

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. One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you.
