Meanings of the Factions:

Spoiler

DAUNTLESS: fearless, undaunted.
Undaunted: courageously resolute, especially in the face of danger or difficulty; not discouraged.


ABNEGATION: to refuse or deny oneself (some rights, conveniences, etc.); reject; renounce.


ERUDITE: characterized by great knowledge; learned or scholarly
The word “erudite” focuses on knowledge rather than intelligence– intelligence being something you’re born with, and can’t necessarily control, and knowledge being something that you acquire. I find that interesting, given what I know about Erudite.


CANDOR: the state or quality of being frank, open, and sincere in speech or expression; candidness.


AMITY: friendship; peaceful harmony.



DIVERGENT: diverging; differing; deviating.

In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice(Tris) Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

My goodness, how many hot guys can this book contain? Four, Will, Al, Uriah? Woah! Like hot guys alert, I was in heaven.

I am disappointed with the ending of this book, it isn't what I was expecting. Though the romantic scene between the two was adorable, I still wasn't impressed.

From all the Dystopian novels I have read Divergent is by far my new favorite. This coming from the girl that was in love with the Hunger Games (Still is) but Divergent is my favorite now.
