New Book, New Faction: Veronica Roth Revives the Divergent Universe

This week, Danielle is chatting with Veronica Roth, who’s fresh off a major announcement: Divergent. Is. Back. The original trilogy has sold over 35 million copies since it debuted 15 years ago. Veronica has been publishing countless novels and short stories ever since, but now she’s ready to revisit the Divergent universe — with a new twist. “The Sixth Faction” is an alternate universe retelling that dares to ask: what if Tris never left Abnegation, and joined Dauntless? Danielle and Veronica talk about hot tubs, dystopian fiction, and learning to love your own work in all its imperfections. And don’t worry — Tris and Four will still have a meet-cute.  Books Mentioned: Divergent by Veronica Roth The Sixth Faction by Veronica Roth  Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth 1984 by George Orwell Allegiant by Veronica RothSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
