Book Review: Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth

Allegiant by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Good night, Allegiant. Though this was a beautiful ending to a great series that I never, ever thought I'd pick up and read all three books, it was wonderful. From beginning to end, the Divergent Series has now became one of my favorite book series ever. Though I got confused because of the dual perspectives (and honestly, I hated being in Four/Tobias's head. I really did.) I got the hang of it, all the way to the ending, where I know why everyone I told on Instagram that I was reading this book that it was heartbreaking-but honestly I was confused. Really confused. But I thought since this is the last book of the Divergent series, I thought I give my final thoughts on the two dual perspectives.



Tris Prior

Tris Prior....good lord, girl. Throughout Divergent, Insurgent and now Allegiant, you have always been the tough girl, the girl who changed factions-from Abnegaation to Dauntless, stopped Jeanine Matthews and now you're trying to find your place in the New World called Chicago, while trying to figure out your relationship with Four. When you found out that he wasn't Divergent and he got upset about it, you told him you didn't care at all, even though you're Divergent yourself. Sure you still hated your brother Caleb for what he did, betraying you, but in the end you forgave him before you went in that room...and died. Your death was quite shocking to me when I read it, to tell you the truth, and I didn't want you to die. I wanted you to grow up and be with Four forever. But you will be missed, Tris Prior.



Tobias Eaton/Four

Four...Tobias.....YOU SIR, ARE A LITTLE SHIT. I'm sorry to call you that, but in Allegiant...in Allegiant you pissed me off every single time I read your perspective. Because you joined up with Nita and got your stupid ass caught and went to jail (or wherever you went), and in the beginning of the book you joined up with your mother-YOUR BLOODY MAMA-and I don't care if you're her son and you betrayed her in the end (which I felt like was the only good thing you did), YOU MADE ME SO MAD BY DOING THOSE THINGS. And the ending...SON. I CAN'T, DAMMIT, I CAN'T. Now I wanna hug you and call you my cinnamon roll, WHEN I DON'T WANT TO.

I really did love this book (though I yelled at Four throughout the whole entire thing). I don't know if I wanna read the Four novella book (still deciding on it) but one day I will.

Book Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Insurgent....Insurgent, Insurgent, Insurgent....for once, you didn't make me mad....well, just a little bit...but other than that, I loved this book. A LOT. Though FOUR (I'm still not calling him Tobias, HIS NAME TO ME WILL STILL BE FOUR) didn't get on my nerves this time....Tris did.

Now, I loved Tris in Divergent. But in Insurgent? GOOD LORD GIRL, YOU WERE DUMB AS HELL IN THIS BOOK. Through the first simulation, to wounding Eric (which I don't care at all about-like, I can't stand him and I'm glad he's dead), to getting captured by Jeanine and going through her simulations (and I still hate her) and then going back to the Eurdite buliding-with your boyfriend's father-just to get data? GIRL. WHY.

But then I was happy at the end that Jeanine finally dies, through, just like Joffery from Game of Thrones, I wanted her to last a couple days before she died-BECAUSE I HATED HER SO MUCH.

But I loved it and I do reconmend this book a whole lot.

Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Divergent. Divergent, Divergent, Divergent....this book made me have some feels in the end, and this is the first time I ever picked this book up...and I loved it. A lot. Even though there's some characters I wanna smack upside their heads (Eric & Jeanine), I still enjoyed it. A lot. I loved Tris Prior and her strength, her bad-assery and how she went through the Dauntless initiation, though she had to deal with some haters during it.

But the ending....the ending just....made me mad. Made me mad to the point that I pushed the book away because it just wasn't okay the way her parent's died. But I was hella mad at Jeanine and what she did to Four (oh, I'm sorry, TOBIAS, but to me you're FOUR) and I prayed that Tobias didn't kill Tris (and my prayer came true).

But at the end they escaped from Erudite (after Tobias snapped out of it and took the program away) and now...now they're on a train. Where are they going? I'll have to find out in the next book (which I checked out today).

I honestly wouldn't have made it in Dauntless-THEY'RE CRAZY. But I did do a little quiz they had in the back of this book, and I'll be in Amity, because I'm honest, it's very easy to make me laugh, and I do appreciate the arts and I love to write a lot.

So I do recommend this book a whole lot.

Book Preview: Divergent by Veronica Roth

I scream again and shove the wall with my palm. I hear something. A cracking sound. When I pull my hand away, there is a line in the glass. I slam my other hand next to the first one and drive another crack though the glass, this one spreading outward from my palm in long, crooked fingers. My chest burns like I just swallowed fire. I kick the wall. My toes ache from the impact, and I hear a long, low groan.

The pane shatters, and the force of the water against my back throws me forward. There is air again.

I gasp and sit up. I'm in the chair. I gulp and shake out my hands. Four stands to my right, but instead of helping me up, he just looks at me.

"What?" I ask. 

"How did you do that?'

"Do what?"

"Crack the glass."

"I don't know." Four finally offers me his hand. I swing my legs over the side of the chair, and when I stand, I feel steady. Calm. 

He sighs and grabs me by the elbow, half leading and half dragging me out of the room. We walk quickly down the hallway, and then I stop, pulling my arm back. He stares at me in silence. He won't give me information without prompting.

"What?" I demand. 

"You're Divergent," he replies.

Divergent, Chapter Twenty, pgs. 254-255.
