I have one of those "free promotional credit" things from Amazon and for once some of the books on offer sound vaguely interesting but aren't things I already have: Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell or Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. Does anyone have any particular recommendations/disrecommendations for any of them?

Thanks - I think Divergent is probably the one I'm inclining towards (I'm picky about historical fiction and not convinced that Cornwell will be the kind I enjoy, and somewhat dubious about the Hobb as well).

The Boy is a fan of the Cornwell but I find his characterisation lacking and have given up reading his stuff (admittedly I never tried this one).

The Hobb is okay but the Liveship Traders isn't her best.

Thanks! I think it's probably going to be Divergent if I get any of them.
