Insurgent - by Veronica Roth

When I read Divergent - long before I got to the end - I knew that I would end up reading the rest of the trilogy. So, after a quick re-read of a book book for my book club, I was on to this one. Here’s the blurb:

Fighting for survival in a shattered world… the truth is her only hope.
The Thrillingly Dark Sequel To No. 1 New York Times Bestseller, Divergent.
I have done bad things. I can’t take them back, and they are part of who I am.
Tris has survived a brutal attack on her former home and family. But she has paid a terrible price. Wracked by grief and guilt, she becomes ever more reckless as she struggles to accept her new future.
Yet if Tris wants to uncover the truth about her world, she must be stronger than ever… because more shocking choices and sacrifices lie ahead.

The pace set in the first book is maintained and I was swept along, reading the 500+ pages in what was, for me, very good time. By then end, my curiosity about how the city came to be as it was and what was outside was thoroughly piqued.
