Allegiant

by Veronica Roth

The third installment of this series was for me the least enjoyable. The plot, the twists and the characters didn’t feel real anymore and it all sort of felt forced. I had hoped to get a resolution to the conflict that had started this whole series, but instead we’re here thrown into something completely different and the thing that the two other books have been building up to sort of got forgotten a bit.

The best part about this book was the alternating POV’s that enabled me to get into Four’s head. It was nice to be able to see how he tough and felt, but somehow I wished he’d have kept some of his personality from Divergent a bit more. In this book  he’s kind of changing from a tough guy to that of a scared little wimp at times and I don’t like that. I get his love for Tris (well I don’t really get why he likes her, but I get that he does) but loving someone doesn’t have to make you chance into someone else.

The book is written in an easy way that makes it fast to read and there is certainly action and twists that brings the story forward. And I would recommend the book to anyone who’s interested in this kind of genre. As a whole I still think that this is one of the best series in the Dystopian YA genre and you shouldn’t miss out on it.

And the ending…
I think it was a bold move to make Tris die in the end, but since I never cared for the self-centered girl in the first place I personally didn’t care that she died (I was rather happy her whining was over with). I hated her the whole way for how she treated Four, so all I wished for was for him to find someone else. What I did care about however was how Four would take Tris’ death and I really felt for him when he found out what had happened (even if I wanted to slap him in the face and tell him she’s not worth his tears). And the part where he spreads her ashes…I really felt for Four there. So well done.
