Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Allegiant by Veronica Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I would give this five stars if I didn't have such a hard time staying focused and concentrated on the first 1/3 of the book. I think the beginning wasn't interesting enough for me to want to keep reading. However, it gets better, much better; and I think that maybe if I had just finished the second novel in the series, it wouldn't have been as boring to me.

This is the third and final story in the Divergent series. The way this book is written is very different from the previous two. It is written from two points of views, switching back and forth. I'm not much of someone for change when the first two weren't written in the same way, but it grew on me. In the end, it all makes sense as to why it was written that way.

There is a lot going on: There is a whole new colony/government outside the walls that we never knew existed, I got to know Evelyn a tiny bit more, and most of all, I finally get to feel what Tobias is thinking and feeling. I didn't have a problem connecting with his character at all and I think that's why it wasn't too difficult to switch back and forth between Tris and Tobias.

When Tris dies, it doesn't seem real to me. I kept thinking that there was going to be some sort of magic spell that they find or that it was all a bad dream and Tobias wakes up finding her next to him. It didn't happen that way. I liked that actually. I liked that she died because it made this fictionally story more real. Things don't always end up easy or happy or good.

This entire series was a favorite of mine and I am definitely interested in reading more of Veronica Roth.
