Allegiant (Divergent #3)

IMPORTANT NOTE/WARNING: YOU MAY DIE A LITTLE BIT AFTER FINISHING THIS BOOK.

Title: Allegiant
Author: Veronica Roth
My Rating: 5 stars




So, when I got my hands on this book, I thought that I was ready. Ready for Trobias/Fourtis, ready for some more action and above all, ready for a happy ending. This ending however, mocks Mockingjay and puts it to shame. But why don't we begin from the beginning?

Chaos reigns in the city and Evelyn begins to rule. The factions have been destroyed and uproars are caused. A group of citizens- the 'Allegiant', wanting to reform the factions invite Tris and her friends to go outside the fence.

When they reach beyond the fence, the characters find out the unfathomable truth, the reason for the factions, their city and their own existence.

What I liked about the book:
The alternating POV. It provided a clear insight of things from both the protagonists and it was nice to discover Tobias' thoughts and intentions. **mild spoiler**After that ending, I get why it had to be written in dual POV. :'(

The style of writing and the overall plot. The one thing I like about Veronica Roth is the fact that she doesn't compare non-white characters to food. (It's the small things that make the writing enjoyable and readable.) She doesn't say, for example 'She had chocolate brown skin' or 'His skin was the colour of mocha.' which can sometimes be really annoying. She writes it properly 'a girl with light brown skin and a...'

Also, the plot, not the plot of this particular book, but the overall dystopian plot of the trilogy is both clever and entertaining, without being too overboard or far-fetched.

What I disliked HATED about the book:

That stupid, stupid ending. This was me when I read that ending.




The Deaths. Those freaking, idiotic, unnecessary, idiotic deaths. The deaths of the best characters. Why???

Still, I gave this book 5 stars. It destroyed me but it was devastatingly kick-ass. What can I say? I make weird statements and like weird books. My sincere apologies to everybody who reads my weird reviews.


IMPORTANT REMINDER: YOU MAY DIE A LITTLE BIT AFTER FINISHING THIS BOOK.
