3 best Veronica Roth books

There are current authors with a marked cinematographic tendency, writers and writers who invite us to immerse ourselves in fast-paced action stories woven into sagas that fans of the genre of the moment (from the fantastic with JK Rowling and its magic for young and old, even the erotic with EL James and its shadows and daily perversions) devour as they wait for their replica on the big screen that always comes to shake the lockers.

Veronica roth She is one of those authors who are already essential in this novel-film duality. Probably when Roth wrote Divergent little would I imagine that this youth thriller universe halfway between our current world and a dystopian future, would lead to a saga that would run in parallel between paper and celluloid. But this is how this currently works. If you write a story interesting enough, as is the case, and with ease to script thanks to its vivid action and the hook of characters and plot.

The Divergent saga was a worldwide recognition, a continuous feedback between the arts of literature and cinema. But the truth is that Roth did not stop at that story and continues to offer extensive new novels from his fertile imagination.

The complete saga can be found here, in a unique presentation. In case you want to dive into the complete saga or if you want to give a gift to an initiate on the subject ...

Among the undeniable fantasy of his proposal, also on the horse of an epic science fiction and with the necessary drops of love, an almost philosophical taste is culled, a translation of ideals of our society, of behaviors and principles, of the everlasting struggle for good. and evil under a futuristic and dystopian aesthetic in which once entered, you enjoy great stories.

Veronica Roth's Top 3 Recommended Novels

Insurgent

Without serving as a precedent (for that maxim that the second parts are never good), and without this implying starting a saga for its continuation, I see myself in the duty of establishing this novel as the best of the Divergent saga.

Although I insist on the need to start reading from the beginning for the setting and approach to the universe of the story itself, I do not hesitate to indicate that this novel has more strength, more action, more hook even from its love story that underlies in every trial Tris undertakes.

The factions, which we already met at the beginning, are becoming more polarized in their positions. In principle, it could be understood that each of these "sections" of this future society exists as a complement to the others, but a supremacist will to put one's own faction first ends up generating a distortion, a continuous conflict with a starting point in Tris and its decision of the right faction to give his life to.

Between the sincere, the altruistic, the brave, the cordial and the learned, there can be no equidistance when deciding for one or the other ...

Insurgent

Divergent

And now we can return to the starting point in terms of quality, not in reading chronology. The discovery of the futuristic Chicago, as a distant shadow of what it once was, the approach to a world structured in ideals as a metaphor for our days, the lives of the characters that dot this story of adventure and action, the undeniable philosophical point involved in entering in this world overlooking the abyss ...

A cocktail that ends up anticipating what it was, a great saga, magnetic for the cinema and full of great characters, interesting dialogues, epic loves and that special connection with the transcendent age of the human being, the adolescence in which you have to decide, hardly knowing where to lead your life.

Divergent

Marks of death

With this novel a saga begins, for the moment duology, which in my opinion seems a modern adaptation of the old Greek myths that assigned to Gods control over the existence of men, with wonderful narratives in which we met demigods or heroes, always in a balance of powers that ended up shaping the beliefs of Greek civilization.

The power of literature turned into religion (as is also the case with the Bible, why not say it;) The point is that characters like Cyra and Akos even have Greek inspiration in their names.

Only that in his new universe the powers are different and the destinies can still be modified in the middle of a total war that threatens to obscure all light of the known universe.

Any dystopia always presents us with its symbols, those reflections with shades of slogans or images to be recorded in the general imagination. On this occasion, for once, not everything went well for the power of the day. The revolution always begins with oneself. And if from that point one is capable of awakening new imaginaries that are more certain, a large part of the path towards liberation can be cleared.

Everyone knows Sonya Kantor. Her image was used on a poster as propaganda by the Delegation, a government that controlled the population for decades through Clairvoyance, an ocular implant that rewarded or punished each action. However, an uprising broke out and all its members and supporters were taken to the Opening, a prison where they are serving life in prison. Now, after ten years locked up, an old acquaintance offers Sonya a deal in exchange for her freedom: she must find a missing girl. Sonya accepts her challenge, unaware that her investigation will lead her to delve into her own family past and unearth dark secrets. How far will she be able to go to get it?

Disturbing and compelling, Poster Girl explores the limits of human nature, the dangers of new technologies, and the moral dilemmas they pose. A new reality that we all accept, perhaps, too easily.
