I am a fan of the Divergent Series!
Allegiant, however, did not give me the same feeling of enjoyment as when I read Divergent.
First let's address the elephant in the room, she dies?!
Tris can't die, she's Tris! That's what makes her Tris!
She can overcome anything despite being small, and she's immune to Serum effects unlike anyone!
Then she shows us reality- that we can't always overcome everything.
I will not lie - I did cry like a baby, and it is what made me feel any emotion in this book.
I enjoyed the POV change with Tobias as I connected with him more. Although, it did tip me off that something possibly was coming with Tris to have this change in the last book. I often found myself forgetting that I changed to Tobias, and had to double check who POV I was in.
I found it hard to believe after all Evelyn went through, she would so easily give up and call a treaty.
I was like just like that?!
I feel like a good portion of the story is traveling. Mainly in the Bureau or Outside the city, I found because of this, it took me much longer to get through this book, than the others in the series and at times found myself bored.
Finding out the reason for the experiment being about Genetic Purity and Genetic Damage, and that being their way to fix it was at not what I anticipated it being. It created another division of people, on top of the already divided factions. How did the factions help their Genetic Damage, and there were other experiments? Throw in the Divergent part, and it gets a little confusing to how they all relate. I thought the whole time, the reason was to create some kind of peace, and control over society as a whole, and divergent resisted what they used to control. Not that they were Genetically healed.
Overall interesting read, still fan of the series. RIP Tris. <3

Ok I didn't love the pace (felt very slow) and the outside world was very underwhelming and disappointing after being set up over the last two books. But it was definitely an interesting and different addition to the story.
The dual POV was ok and gave great insight into how much Tobias loves Tris (he's so romantic oml) but I didn't love it. It completely changed Tobias as a character - he went from being this strong, mysterious, powerful figure to a confused and nervous character who, yes, you sympathise with a lot. But I found myself ultimately missing the 'old Tobias'. However that being said, his POV in the last chapters really brought the whole story and character together.
There were some really nice character arcs but again I wasn't a fan of how some of them were written or fed into the story. Also don't underestimate the comedy in this series, there were so many witty lines and the banter between characters is sweet.
The ending WOW. Applause for Veronica Roth. It was devastating and the way grief was described was beautiful and felt accurate and real. I actually cried. The last couple chapters have brought this up to a 4 star.

It was extremely violent because it is a dystopian war, but the story line is worth enduring the blood if you can.bri_morgan's review against another edition

Score: Five out of ten.
What a disappointment. Again...
I wanted to read Allegiant to give Veronica Roth one last chance to redeem herself after Insurgent underwhelmed me. I enjoyed Divergent, so what happened, and how did she come to this point? I picked it up and glanced at the blurb, making it seem intriguing, but when I closed the final page, I didn't enjoy it.
