Divergent - Divergent Trilogy - Book 1

In the first book of the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth, we are introduced to a dystopian Chicago where society is divided into five factions: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite, each representing different virtues. The protagonist, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, faces a life-altering choice at the age of sixteen during the annual Choosing Ceremony. Torn between her family's faction of Abnegation, known for their selflessness, and her attraction to the daring Dauntless, Tris makes a bold decision that sets her on a path of self-discovery and rebellion. As she navigates her new identity and the complexities of her faction, she learns about the concept of being Divergent—individuals who don’t fit neatly into any one category. Tris's journey is filled with challenges, friendship, and the fight against an oppressive system, revealing the value of courage, loyalty, and the struggle for personal freedom.
