My #1 Worry About Insurgent

Comment replies tomorrow or Monday.

What is my number one worry about Insurgent? Roth will break the world beyond repair.

I love angst. I hate tragedy. With a few minor exceptions, apparently. Like “To Go Not to Lethe,” a now lost-to-us tale by mesoc that always made me cry ’cause it couldn’t be fixed. I like worlds that can be awful, terrible, horrible, but with an ability left to the characters to transcend somehow.

I want Tris to make it. And I’m just not entirely sure she will without too much damage. She’s tough enough to have a chance.

Barely.

I'm waiting til other people read it.

I am all for broken characters and impossible situations, but only if there is some way to find a way above it. The thing about broken characters that I like the most is how they find their way past the damage. I don't necessarily need the world fixed completely if I can believe the characters will survive it somehow.

Yes, that. I'm just worried that we might not be left that when everything falls down.
