This is a young adult dystopian series. Unlike other dystopians, I felt this stuck to a more realistic version of the possible future should a tyrannical government take control, which I found quite refreshing. There’s no blatant cry of oppression, it’s much more subtle, and I think that’s closer to how such an event would take place, which also lends this story more emotional impact because, unfortunately, I could actually see something like this happening one day. *shiver*
For me, this had a very ‘Revolution’ vibe, sans lack of electricity. They trek through a lot of deserted cities, which is always great for ambiance. I found this second book to be even more engrossing than the first, and I think that has as much to do with my continued exposure to the genre as the gripping storyline. inDIVISIBLE was far from boring, but I think The Divided is even more intense, better paced, and has terrific development for the characters.
Hunter tackles the idea of starting a revolution with compelling and heartbreaking questions. The characters are convinced that rising up against their government is the best thing to do, but they are continually faced with the fact that such action will get a lot of people killed. Such questions aren’t always focused on in these kinds of stories, and it added to the extreme realism that Hunter always manages to infuse. These books are amazing and compelling reads, but they can be uncomfortable, too, because so many of these topics are sensitive. I found myself constantly blown away, wondering what I would do in this situation.
There are three potential love interests in this book. Normally, I would think this is overkill. Even when I realized there were three of them, I may have rolled my eyes a little, but I was surprised to see that it worked. My only issue was that the main character did seem to have some inconsistency as far as her romantic involvement was concerned, but I don’t want to say much else and spoil it.
Hunter does a terrific job balancing these different relationships and developing them. She has a talent for entwining the romantic subplot with the overall story without seeming to favor one above the other. They mesh together almost seamlessly and complement each other throughout.
The Divided by Ryan Hunter gets 4 ½ stars, and I think this was even better than the first book. If you like dystopia, you ought to pick up this series, though I should warn you some scenes get a little graphic as far as injuries are concerned which, again, just adds to the amazing if at times disconcerting realism of these books.
