Divergent the Trilogy

For the past 2 days, i found myself obsessing over the trilogy titled Divergent written by Veronica Roth. Most people tend to assume this book to be like a second hand Hunger Games, or just a substandard book, because it has a similar setting and aims the same audience, however they seem unique in their own way. In both series there are rebellions, however the reasons are different. Can any of you fellow readers figure them out? The setting of this book is a dystopian version of Chicago. This trilogy consists of DIVERGENT(#1), INSURGENT(#2), and ALLEGIANT(#3). I particularly admire the way, people can relate to the characters in the story, and feel them as well.  Somehow the theme as a whole scales down to the fact that someday or another we have to make choices, SENSIBLE CHOICES, on our own. SPOILER ALERT!!! That is what Tris( the protagonist) eventually does, she makes a choice, the one to end her life, by doing thus, she would save the world, instead of preserving her life, living happily with Four(Tobias). However she knew preserving her life could lead to a disaster, where her fellow camaraderie would lose their memory with a memory serum. The author gives rather a strong ending, which has more impact and effect on a fellow reader. She doesn’t end it like a “Happily ever after fairytale”, but in a much more mature way. The one that potrays the lessons tris learnt, that sacrifices are meant to be out of love not out of guilt. Secondly being in Dauntless, made her fearless. This story takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions; guilt; romance; responsibility; love. 

It still hurts the readers to acknowledge the fact of the death, of their favourite character, they had been reading about in three stories particularly maybe volumes.
