IM FREEEE

okay my thing w this book is if ur gonna have a corrupt government plot, u either need to be rly good at hiding it/selling their “un-corruptness” OR u need to lay it out all on the table like the hunger games did. being half-in, half-out for a teen/YA book seems whimpy and confusing, especially when ur plot doesn’t even truly come together until the last 100 pages

this book is 75% tris being horny for four, 15% 2010s YA dystopian vibes, 5% good writing and characters, and 5% plot. like u could not Pay me to tell u what the overarching plot is here, other than dauntless is parkour cyberpunks and tris thinks four is the sexiest man alive

still such a fun time but also just all vibes and almost zero plot

i keep picturing the movie in my head as i read this so i think a movie rewatch is in order after i finish this

literally all the names in the world at her feet, she genuinely could have picked a totally separate name from beatrice, but the bitch still picks TRIS to be her new name….. do not play w me

continuing the middle school YA dystopian nostalgia…
