chelso 's review for:

Allegiant by Veronica Roth
3.0

My rating of Allegiant is 3, for the whole series 3.5.

The Divergent series is better than most of the similar YA dystopian series I have read, which in itself is not hugely significant. It is better than [b:The Knife of Never Letting Go|2118745|The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1)|Patrick Ness|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1277071696s/2118745.jpg|2124180] and [b:Legend|9275658|Legend (Legend, #1)|Marie Lu|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397663963s/9275658.jpg|14157512], but it is not as good as [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358275334s/2767052.jpg|2792775].

I dislike the romance portion of these books. I think is Tris and Four are whiny and the relationship is not really worth reading. I do not think they develop in their relationship so much as pout and repeat.

I also did not like that half the book was written from a new POV, specially because Veronica Roth makes all of her characters sound exactly the same. I could not easily tell their chapters apart from one another.
Spoiler But I understand it made it easier to kill off Tris when she could switch to a new POV.


I generally liked her choice of ending, even if it felt a little forced.

It did not live up to the hype in my opinion, but it is above average for other books in the genre.
