Speechless dengan endingnya.....hiksssss unbelievable..... WHY!!!! WHY!!!! She deserved better thant that after all of the struggle she fought...
Perfect end to a perfect series. Seriously one of the best trilogy's iv read
Amazing book overall, it was nice to have closure from one of my favorite series. I wasn't happy with parts of the ending...but I guess life doesn't always have a happy ending.
Seeing that I didn't really like the main characters in this series, I actually enjoyed the final book over all. By itself, I thought it was a bit gimmicky and it was very hard for me to tolerate unimpeachableness of Tris. However, as the final book in the Divergent series I thought it was a satisfying ending and a good completion for the series.
Had a hard time getting through this one. I was spoiled on the ending, so it wasn't a big surprise and seemed true to the character. Glad to be done with it.
I wanted to give this 3 stars simply because Veronica Roth is one of the few authors with the guts to
I felt like this book was the same situation as the previous books with a new enemy instead of a completely new story. Sure, Tris and Four were on opposing sides there for a while, but it all felt very blah compared to the previous books. I read Divergent in a day or two because I simply couldn't put it down, but this book made me want to put it down more than once.
It also bugs me that Tris and Four never really had much time for

kill off her main character in the finale, but I still didn't enjoy this book enough to give it 3 stars. Even as Tris was dying, I thought surely she was just losing consciousness. And since that was the only surprise in this book, I walked away feeling that it sucked because the one unexpected thing was a thing no reader ever wants to happen.I felt like this book was the same situation as the previous books with a new enemy instead of a completely new story.

happiness before she died. If you're going to write a love story, why leave it with no fulfillment? Because that's what happens in the "real world?" Well I read to escape the bleakness of the world outside, not to make me even more depressed.See all of my reviews here: https://guenevol.wixsite.com/novelmaven
I found the world building was pretty bad, the whole setting was switched going into the last book and had a bit of an impact on the plot, I also found some of the character development to be inaccurate? Four went from being this sure of himself guy who didn't let his fears control him to being an emotional wreck. That kind of annoyed me tbh. Overall pretty good, sad ending, and alright end to a good series
I read and enjoyed the first two books in this series, so I of course picked up the third shortly after it was released. I found this one to be enjoyable in the same range as the first two, although not without its flaws, but definitely not the horrorshow that some other reviewers have written about.
At the beginning of this book Tris and Four are dealing with the aftermath of Four's mother Evelyn taking over the city and destroying the faction social system. Shortly after the book begins Tris is invited to join the Allegiant, a group looking to oust Evelyn and set up the faction system again, and she along with Four and a few others use the group's resources to escape the city. Once outside of the city, they are picked up by a former Dauntless that Four knew (and thought was dead), and they are taken to a government enclave where they find out "the truth" behind their city, what being Divergent means, and more.
Without getting into all the details of the story, it turns out that the city Tris and Four know is the remains of Chicago, which was seeded with a group of people for a multi-generational experiment to try and fix genetic damage caused previously. The serums were developed and given to the factions as ways to control the populace, and Divergence is a sign of a healthy genetic code. I did find the concept discussed of trying to fix behavior via genetic manipulation to be interesting, with unintended side effects (remove aggression and you remove motivation, for example), and wish that had been more than a throwaway paragraph. The struggles of "genetically damaged" versus "genetically perfect" are an interesting and different illustration of the have / have not dichotomy, and the struggles and decisions that Four and Tris have to make are interesting and developed well enough for the story.
I do think that the initial conflict that involves Four and Nita was a bit much, even as it did set up some later parts of the story, as their interactions rang a bit hollow as did those when Nita took Four out into the Fringe area. I liked the character of Matthew a lot, as well as the giant sculpture and what it signified. Overall this is not a bad conclusion to the story, and it was worth the read.
