People have to undergo aptitude tests to see which faction they belong to but Triss is told that she is divergent - she could belong to a number of factions. She is warned that she must hide this fact. Triss decides to leave her family and join the most dangerous faction, Dauntless. She struggles to get through the initiation and face her deepest fears. She makes lots of new friends and enemies in Dauntless and falls for her trainer, Four (Tobias), who has his own secrets to hide...Triss learns how dangerous it is to be divergent and starts to uncover a plot by other factions...

Why Should Everyone Read It?

This book was really exciting and some of the descriptions were heart-stopping (especially the zip-wire). I really cared what happened to the characters and can't wait to read the next instalment.
