I JUST FINISHED AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE I AM COMING BACK TO THIS POST IN THE MORNING BECAUSE HOLY GOD, THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED, TRIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED, TRIS/FOUR IS EVERYTHING I WANTED, I WOULD SAY "SHOOT ME" BUT WE KNOW HOW TRIS FEELS ABOUT SHOOTING PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE SPENT AN ENTIRE BOOK COMING TO GRIPS WITH WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE'S DONE AND WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF AND WHAT THAT MEANS TO HERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Tris' trauma arc may be my favourite thing ever to happen in YA. (Even more than Archer Cross' existence! I KNOW!) It was consistent and constituted a huge part of her character development rather than being a parallel story that appeared only when it was convenient for the story. PERFECT ( ... )
