Insurgent

As book two of the divergent series Insurgent follows seamlessly from book one. It continues to reveal pieces of the puzzle that is Tobias Eaton's life. If you liked book one this middle book carries the story along. It should not be read independently.

[Those sensitive about possible spoilers read no further.]

The majority of Factionless are failed Dauntless Candidates. No one fails Abnegation but a large proportion fail Dauntless. There are no old or infirm Dauntless as the aged are either pushed out or driven to suicide.

Each faction has its own unique style, its own myths and philosophies. Under Eric Dauntless reflects his sadistic and duplicitous nature. In this outing we discover that the Factionless have united to form their own unique faction.

Midway through the book seems to drag but the pace picks up as it moves toward the climatic conflict.
