This chapter covers the big raid on Dauntless HQ by Tris and friends. I'll have to admit, this was actually one of the parts of the book I enjoyed. The description was pretty good, if the action was a bit campy (I apologize in advance, I'm reading a military autobiography at the same time as this, so it's hard to go back and forth between the action-movie like combat and realistic account without the prior coming off as a bit cheesy). The action was nice and fast paced, and the storm trooper effect was evident of the sleepwalkers, which made Tris seem like Rambo. I really did like this part.

Tris gets some payback on Peter (Who the higher ups allowed to not be a sleepwalker, I guess? I didn't quite get his explanation of why he's conscious.), and unfortunately they have to leave Caleb and Marcus behind to tend to the gunshot wound Tris inflicted on good ol' Pete. Tris goes up towards the control room, and her dad dies defending her. She doesn't have much time to mourn because, "
for every second that I waste, another Abnegation member dies." She makes it up to the control room, where the final boss awaits her: Tobias.

I needed to confess that your pictures humored me deeply and that I now know you have a HUGE imagination. I feel like a large reason that she wasn't mourning is the fact that her parents largely changed as people from what she remembered them like in Abnegation. Particularly her mother, who had become an almost completely different person. Her Abnegation parents had largely died long before, and these were her new parents. I think much of the second book will be spent on trying to figure out who her mom and dad truly were, since she didn't quite get enough time to truly "meet" them.
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite interesting!
