I actually think this broke me. There’s literally nothing else to say. This whole trilogy has been amazing and I’ve never loved a series more and now that it’s over I don’t really know what to do with myself. That’s really dramatic but it’s true. Every character is so carefully thought out and the plot is so layered but written so well that I was never confused and spent every moment just in awe of the world Veronica Roth created. I would recommend this to anyone, but bring tissues!

Rating: 3.5/5⭐⭐⭐.5

***I swear that 99% of the time I don't put spoilers in my reviews but I couldn't resist for this book. All spoilers are within a spoiler warning.***

Honestly, I almost DNFed this book. After

one of my favorite characters, Uriah, died,

I slowly started not reading this book but then a day ago I decided to continue. It took me a minute to get back into this book but I did like it.

In the end I did like this book but felt it was a bit unnecessary.

Loved the epilogue.

Originally, I was going to give this book a lower rating but the last 70 pages saved it and made me think that this was a fairly good ending to the trilogy.

Tobias' reaction to Tris dying was truly heartbreaking. I cannot express how much I love Tobias. He was so sad after Tris died and I'm happy that they talked about his grief. I think my heart broke during those chapters.

“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.”

Where do I even begin with this book? I did not enjoy it as much as the first two, and to explain why, I think I need to go into spoilers...

Tobias felt really out of character for this book. He's a GD, but he's also divergent, because he has divergent qualities. I don't understand why he wasn't more suspicious of the plan, or why he'd go through with a plan where he knows people will get hurt, including his friends. And Nita, I hated her. But at the same time I'm really happy for his progress that he's made.

The world-building is an absolute mess. It was a mess from the start. All the serums are seriously giving me Maze Runner vibes, and I didn't like the Maze Runner at all. If people could just leave the city, why didn't they do it before? The Dauntless are literally guarding the gates. And the Bureau makes no sense whatsoever. It's an experiment - see, Maze Runner vibes - yet when that experiment goes wrong, you don't do anything to fix it? They're all people- I really don't understand why the GPs and the GDs are treated so differently when you literally have people like Tobias who is a GD with GP qualities.

Also, Tris dying. I'm sorry, what was that? Killing off your main character is a bold move for any author - but it has to make sense. She survived the DEATH SERUM... only to be shot? It wasn't her time to go. Not at all. It didn't make any sense.

Anyways, that's the end of me reading the OG Dystopian Trilogies, and my ranking is:

The Hunger Games
Divergent
The Maze Runner

I'm so glad I read the books after discovering the series through the films. I am so in love with these books. The characters are so complex with real struggles, Roth does an amazing job of avoiding "good vs bad" and really explores the idea of good people bad choices and the difficulties of knowing what the right thing even is in such hard situations.

I cried my eyes out for the last several chapters!
