Insurgent continues the story from Divergent as if you were just reading the same book. In fact, it reads like they were perhaps one long book that a publisher cut in half to make more money or avoid massive edits. Divergent ends in some chaos with no resolution, Insurgent picks up like the next sentence. This is good, there's very little recapping or backstory filling to waste our time. Things develop, Tris and Tobias make headway in their relationship and there are some interesting revelations.

I read the third book, Allegiant and it was pretty bad. The retroactive changing of facts in past books, the nonsensical resolution to the story, the pretty boring story, and the unhappy ending make me kind of wish I hadn't read it. While things are still up in the air at the end of this book, I was so disappointed and frustrated with the third book it made me almost sorry I read them at all.
