waiting on wednesday (20)

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event courtesy of Breaking the Spine

that showcases much anticipated upcoming releases.

(goodreads 05/28/2012):

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. 

I'm pretty sure that this is one that I've been patiently waiting for ever since I finished Divergent. I absolutely loved that book and so to figure out where things go from here as far as the factions are concerned, and getting to find out just what happened to create the situation is going to fabulous. To be fair, I was going to list this one as soon as the blurb for it came out on Goodreads, but the page count erroneously said something like 200 or so pages, which seemed rather unbelievable given the size of Divergent. I'm happy to note now that they quote about 500 pages again which makes me deliriously excited - another book I can sink my brain into. This one is going to be the end of the semester present to myself!
