Veronica Roth

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.

Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can't escape that damage. 

But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.

YA. Love stories. Science fiction. Horror fiction. What if a single revelation like a single choice changed everything? What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected? The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

After putting this off for a year or two, I saw the first two movies and decided to bite the bullet and go back to read this. Such a disappointment, even though the first two were certainly not brilliant. Divergent  was perhaps 3.5 to 4 stars, and the second one 3  but this was so much worse.

First off this one is in alternating POVs and I actually had to repeatedly go back to see whose POV I was reading if they weren't naming the other one. Roth was unable to make them sound any different. Secondly, the plot was weak. Reading this put a blight on much of what I thought about the first two, to be honest. Then of course, there were some poorly thought out plot devices at the climax of the book, etc. I only read this because my daughter and I will probably end up watching the movie when it comes out, and as you can see, it can't be much worse than this rating unless they focus primarily on the violence a la the LOTR movies.

           Aliance se vypráví jak z pohledu Tris, tak pohledu Tobiase, takže máme možnost nahlédnout do hlav oběma postavám, a díky tomu se konečně trochu vyznáváme v tom, co kdy kdo dělal a jestli pořád lže nebo ne. 
Aliance byla dobrá v tom, že jsme se přesunuli ven, za město, a zjistili jsme, co se vlastně stalo. Ale to je tak všechno. Kniha se mi opět táhla a pořád jsme svědky snad toho nejhoršího vztahu v dějinách YA. Taky jsem si uvědomila, že na hlavních hrdinech mi vůbec nezáleží, měla jsem ráda jen Uriaha a Fernanda, který se objevil v druhém díle asi na 15 stránek :))

Celou sérii vám tedy za mě nedoporučuji, vyhněte se jí obloukem, protože o nic nepřijdete, nic vám to nedá, a akorát tím ztratíte čas.

Well. I've had this book since it came out back in October but I got spoiled so I didn't want anything to do with it. But with the Divergent movie coming up in less than 2 weeks, all I could think about was the characters and how I wanted to read about them, so I picked up the book again and finished it. Even knowing that spoiler, I still bawled my eyes out and that's all there is to say......

Megan Parrott

Allegiant is easily my least favorite of the series. There's just too much going on, and I was often too distracted by the tangents to maintain an interest in the only characters I wanted to see through to the end – Tris and Four, of course. It is what it is ... I love Shailene Woodley in the role of Tris, so I'm sure the movies will be decent.

such mixed feelings about this AAAAAAA, didnt really want to read it but wanted to finish the trilogy. like the second book, decisions and characters left me frustrated as fuck and the ending felt super rushed when the rest of the book felt slow. tris’ death did shock me though and reading the aftermath and effect it had on four got me in the feels so i wasnt entirely mad about the ending.

okay so..... why just why, I enjoyed the first two WHY VERONICA.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

JUST WATCHED THE FUCKING COVER REVEAL ON THE TODAY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My REVIEW:
Plot: 3.5/5
There were several things I didn’t like about this book.
But, the thing is, I’d been spoiled, so I knew what all this was building towards, and it might have annoyed my more than it would have otherwise because of that.
The first half of this book, though, was just a train wreck. 
First off: ON THE DUAL PERSPECTIVE
 I would have been far more accepting of the dual perspective IF Tris and Tobias had been located in different places and were experiencing different stories. I mean, I REALLY wanted Tobias to stay in Chicago, and if he had, more things could have happened with the instability going on there. Instead, they both left the city together and kissed and teamed up with the scientists and stuff. I didn’t think the dual perspective was really useful until the second half. When I got to the second half, I understood why the dual perspective was necessary, though. (The Dual Perspective actually ended up reminding me somewhat of the way dual perspective was used in the 19th Animoprhs book, the one with Cassie morphing into a Butterfly on the cover)

The end of Insurgent promised EPIC WAR AND FIGHTING outside the city. It was lie. It was very disappointing. 
Instead, we got picked up by some scientists who thought that most of the populace were ‘genetically damaged’ and the city was an experiment and the factions were a lie!
THAT WAS YOUR WHOLE SERIES, VERONICA ROTH. YOUR WHOLE SERIES. And then there were theses two characters introduced. A pretty boy who became friends with Tris, and a pretty girl who became friends with Tobias. I was like: “Seriously? You are DOING this to me?”
I hated them. (And I’ll talk more about them in the Characters section of this review)

Then there was the random attack on the compound that really seemed to have no place, especially because nothing came of it, and then other stuff happened that I don’t even really remember….

And then the second half. The second half included basically redoing that random attack on the compound, except planned better and done for different reasons. 
The last 50-100 pages saved this book for me. They were epic and emotional, and it suddenly made sense to me (the spoiler that I knew we were building towards).

Characters: 4/5
Tris: I honestly don’t remember the first half of this book really well, so I can’t speak to how I liked her character there, but in the last 50-100 pages… Tris was at her absolute best. I cried and I laughed for her.
Tobias: Again, I liked him better towards the end. When he went to the city to confront either his mother or his father, and he talked to Evelyn… that conversation is PROBABLY my favorite conversation that Tobias has participated in. Becuas eI loved his emotions in that conversation.
Caleb: Oh, Caleb. Again, I only really remember the end, and what I feel for him is somewhat tainted by what Tris did, but I really came to not hate him so much. I didn’t love him, I didn’t like him, I didn’t not like him, and I didn’t hate him. I think that, at the end, I felt the same way about him that Tobias did. (view spoiler)[He was all right, but he reminded me too much of Tris and what she did (hide spoiler)]
Tori: WHY??? Why would you destroy that ENTIRE character arc?
David: I can’t believe it took until Tris confronted him at the end to figure out he was in love with her mother. I figured that out around the same time that he first mentioned her name.
Peter: Oh… well. Peter. I agree that what h did was the action of a coward… but it was also the only action I can really see Peter taking, given the way his character has been developed.
Matthew: This is the pretty boy that befriended Tris!!! Now, I didn’t REALLY like him when it became obvious that he was befriending Tris while Nita was befriending Tobias. But I liked him better than Nita because he had a purpose outside of doing stupid things and creating romantic tension.
Nita: had two purposes: to do stupid things to drive the plot forward, and to create romantic tension. I HATED her.
Uriah: go look at my status update. Look at it. Then come back, and I will tell you how tightly I was holding onto him. (view spoiler)[and then Veronica Roth RIPPED him away from me (hide spoiler)]

Romance: 
Oh, man. Do NOT make me talk about this right now. I—I just can’t. Tomorrow, maybe. Or the day after.

So, I’m not going to calculate the grade for this book, because I know that numbers can not possible encompass my feelings. Especially, since I felt so drastically different about the two halves of this book.
If I could rate the two halves differently, I’d give the first half 3 stars and the second 5 stars. But I can’t, so I’m just going to split it down the middle and give this book 4 stars.

I DO think I will reread this someday. I know that much of my enjoyment was lessened because I had been spoiled, but if I reread it, I know that that will make it more natural. I’ve already read it, so the spoiler isn’t really a spoiler anymore. I’ll also be able to understand what’s going on more objectively. 

So, yeah.

I have to go spend some time recovering from this.

De todos los libros de la trilogía, fue el que menos me gustó. Tal vez sea por su inconsistente final o porque las razones dadas por las cuales sucede esto o lo otro me parecen poco profundas. Además, de cierta manera, pasa de una Tris fuerte e independiente, a una que perdona todo y que se cuelga del amor como si eso fuese lo único importante en el mundo. Para mí es más importante en un libro que prime la amistad sobre el amor, y que las mujeres descritas en él no sean dependientes del amor de un hombre. 

Falló en este punto, pero del resto podría decirse que está bien.

Sarah Sammis

So it all comes down to this dude?

i think i should buy a brain that has not read this or at least reread insurgent to wipe this memory of allegiant off of my head, sigh.

2.5 out of five stars! 

I honestly have no idea what to say about this book. I don't even think I know how I FEEL about this book. Can I just say that I had crazy high hopes for it? And, somehow, it managed to crush mostly ALL of them? When you love a series as much as I loved this one, you expect the last book to be AMAZING. But it wasn't. It wasn't at all. I mean, the whole time I just kept saying "whaaaaat?"
Let me start off by saying it took me a ridiculously long time to read this book. I started this in NOVEMBER and I'm just now finishing it. My main excuse is college, of course, but if I had wanted to read it, I would've made time. And man, I just didn't want to read this book!
Firstly, it was just so boring. I don't know why but nothing really peaked my interest. I barely got into the book in the last 50 pages. So it took about 450 pages to even get me interested and that's just so crazy to me.
Secondly, what's sad is the fact that this book is NOTHING like the previous two. I constantly felt like the author was just making stuff up and I couldn't understand why she was having the characters do these things. Nothing seemed to make sense to me and I hated it. I REALLY wanted to like this book at the end because I kept hoping it'd get better but it just got worse.
And lastly, this book just made me stop caring about these characters and I'm not sure if that's ever happened to me before. This book was so useless that I just STOPPED CARING. Hoooow does that happen? Tobias and tris were like my OTP! But in this book everything just felt...I don't know. Forced? Fake? There were some nice moments between Tobias and tris that I liked but I didn't loooove them.
Overall, I'd say this book was just massively disappointing. In the end, it's not that I'm mad about how she decided to wrap things up or end the book. I'm just disappointed with the writing and I think it could've been soooo much better. I wouldn't say I'm glad I read this book but I think I would've always wondered how it ended. So if you feel like you need to read this, go ahead. But just keep in mind you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.

I literally finished this book in less than 24 hours, I could not put it down. 

But now I feel just empty. My heart has been ripped from my chest, thrown into a blender, and then chopped into baby fine pieces, only to be thrown back into my face with a roll of tape and the only command being "fix it." 

Don't get me wrong. The book was absolutely amazing. Please, if you are even considering reading it, do it.

The ending nooooooooooooo whhhhhhyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

I gave it 4 stars because I loved it and I hated it. It gave mo so much feels and I haven't cried over books yet since Harry Potter. Tobias's reaction just killed me even more. The way he acts when she was gone.

"I don't know how long it takes for me to realize that isn't going to happen, that she is gone. But when I do I feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more."

Rianne van der Wiel

I really hoped this book would be a nice closure for the series...

But honestly? It sucked balls...

I just finished this book and I just want to smash this book against the wall! You can't end a book like this! 

As much as I fell in love with divergent, I honestly and am sorry to say that I will not recommend this book to fellow readers.. Stop after Insurgent and imagine your own ending. It will certainly stop you from *insert fangirl frustrating scream here*

Book #3 Read in 2014
Allegiant by Veronica Roth (YA)

This is the final book in a dystopian young adult series. The main characters are Tris and Four; they have become leaders in a war zone of factions and those who think they know what to do for the good of all. Tris and Four are strong characters but in this book they spent more time arguing with each other than working together, which got annoying after a while. 

There was a lot of hype and furor about the ending when this book first was released and now I know why. The ending did disappoint me, not only for what happened but how it happened. Overall though, I liked the book. In this book, I focused more on the political happenings and whether any peace would be reached rather than the relationship between Tris and Four. This is a series that I enjoyed and would recommend.

I’m not even lying because I’m salty about the ending — I did not enjoy this book. It felt very out of place and almost like the author killed off the main antagonist in the second book, so she has to create a completely random one out of thin air, and wanted to have a shock ending to make it different then all the other young adult novels of this time. 

I don’t mind how it ended, but the execution (pun intended) should’ve and could’ve been better. It was in character what happened, but so rushed and forced. 

This just felt like a completely different book from the other two. The other two were cheesy at parts, but interesting, and this just felt super random.

I have to be honest and admit that I didn’t like this book very much. I felt that the beginning was extremely slow and hard to get into. The first book took me a few days to read and the second one and a half, but this one took me about two to three weeks. That’s crazy! I felt the series started so dynamic and made you want to keep reading, but once you make it to the last one it just begins to disappoint.

The story line involving the pure and damaged genes kind of lost me. I didn’t like where she went with that. It was a bit confusing and out there. I just felt that there was so much she could have done with the ending of the second book… going beyond the fence should have been exciting and interesting, but it wasn’t.

Knowing me, you know that I love the romance between Tris and Tobias and I didn’t like how she made Nita get in the way or make them doubt their relationship. I am still a huge Tobias fan… he will forever be my favorite, but I wish they would have ended on a happier note.

*spoiler* I object to killing Tris! Why in the world was her death even an option. She is the main character and I just found it horrible that Tobias has to live without her now. And yes I understand that he was only eighteen and that the world goes on, but they lived in a different world than us and I just feel like their relationship was more than that. On the other hand I completely understand why she did it. Tris realized that in the culture and beliefs that she grew up with, having her brother die out of guilt was wrong. I don’t hate Caleb or wish it was him instead of Tris… I just wish neither of had to die… If anything David could have died, because he was horrible.

I’m glad that Chicago was restored and was able to function without the factions. The ending was only sad, because of Tris’s death. I thought the epilogue was perfect! Zip-lining was exactly how Tris would have liked her ashes spread and having Tobias face his fear in honor of her was just great!!

I’m sad that the series is over, but I felt like this book could have been a little more exciting.

Briar's Reviews

I hated this book of the Divergent series. I loved the first two and I fell madly in love with each and every sentence from the first two, but this book was the biggest disappointment I've ever read. The book starts out slow and boring, and when all the action happens near the end, it just ends. There is no plot simmering away into a beautiful ending, but a lame, predictable ending that makes this book not worth the twenty dollars I spent on it. I would not suggest anyone read this series if they plan to read the last book. One star. I'd put zero stars if it were possible. I regret reading this book and it's series because of Allegiant.
