How could I ever measure up to that given how much ill will there is in the world? How could I possibly find my way of making a difference like Tris does? Tris goes even further by taking in an orphan, giving a hurt man a new lease on life, fixing a man-made drought, showing people that different is ok and changing a whole cities way of life. But the inspiration is there, and I’m reminded of it every time I read this book. As a teenager reading this for the first time, I was inspired to do better, be better and fight for what’s right. Tris’s ability to see past this cities ambivalence and see the people, what they’re going through and how broken the structure is, is amazing. In a world where slavery is almost gone, this city essentially lives with it as it’s entire eco-system. In so many ways this city makes me feel ashamed that I’m human. The last book in the quartet follows Tris as she makes her mark in a new city. Welcome back everyone, there’s been a lot of contemporary romances lately so it’s good to get back to a fantasy briefly.
