{Synopsis} –The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
{My Thoughts} – This book was not was I was expecting for the conclusion of this series. Up until this point the series had been primarily focused on Tris, her life her choices. In this book it did both her point of view and Tobias point of view.
Tris was a unique character within the series. She had her good points and her bad. She mostly was caught in still defining herself as the faction in which she had been raised, however from getting to know her I believe her test should have placed her in four factions. I know it states her results were of three factions but she really falls under Candor to in my opinion because she tells it how it is and mostly thinks of herself when speaking. When she is thinking thoughts she’s more Abnegation. Her curiosity falls under Erudite and her thrill seeking is Dauntless.
Back to this book wasn’t what I was expecting. The ending took me by surprise even though it had been spoiled by a few friends, it wasn’t how I had seen the book playing out. In fact it was very far from it.
I am not sure I agree with how everything played out and what became of the characters. But I am sure that it is a well written series and I’d gladly read it again and again.
I look forward to reading the rest of the mini stories to this series as well as future writings by Ms. Roth.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
