Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other
I'm not sad, maybe I used to be or would have been, but now I can't be. Rather, I just feel like I've been defeated in a big fight; tired and broken. I just can't figure out - although I can understand the reason - why it had to happen this way.
Tris, my brave Tris, has come a long way at such a young age (I've often forgot how old she is, and it's just so hard to comprehend how much she accomplished at just 16, something I certainly wouldn't have been able to do). She deserved peace and happiness so much, perhaps more than anyone else. This should not have been done to her. And I believe — and I know — that she would have become, on some level, Rin (The Poppy War) if she had had enough time to unfold. Tobias, lately I don't know where to put him in myself. Part of me feels sorry for him, and part of me doesn't understand the reason for his actions many times. I felt a little bit like this book just exists, it exists, but it doesn't have any real use outside of that. Peter, he's so weird, but somehow I still understand him so much. Christina and Cara are the corners of my heart, so does Uriah
The plot was very draggy for me, quite boring at times, because pretty much nothing happened - or if it did, it didn't make much sense. The pace was slow, perhaps too much. The end - well, I'd better not talk about that. By the way I really liked Tris's mom diary entries and learning about her past, I would love to read a book about her.
