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.
