Let me just start off this review by saying that I actually really dislike the Divergent series. When I read the first book, I loved it because it reminded me of the Hunger Games but then I reread it a year later and hated it. I read the second book and the only thing I found enjoyable was the ending. I wasn't even planning on reading Allegiant, but one day my little sister came home from school with Allegiant in her hand and said she saw it at the library and thought I might want to read it. So being the bookworm I am, I couldn't not read it when the chance was right in front of me so I read it. Let me just say, that I hated this book so so much, and the only part I liked was the ending. If you haven't read Allegiant and don't want to be spoiled I suggest not reading this review.
So if you don't know what the Divergent trilogy is about, it's basically about 5 factions, that each represent a quality. Some people are Divergent which means they have an aptitude for a bunch of factions. Our main character Tris Prior, is divergent and it causes a bunch of problems for her.
Okay so in Allegiant, we start it where we left off, with everyone in a frenzy because there's actually something on the other side of the fences . Four's mom, is taking total control of everything since Jeanine is dead a. Four's mom is a horrible leader, who doesn't want to go on the other side of the fence. So a bunch of people form The Allegiant who want to go the other side of the fence. Of course Tris and Four join them and they go to the other side of the fence. What is on the other side of the fence, is frankly quite disappointment. I think it would be cool if it was like a bunch of farms and everything was normal and nice and they ignored Chicago but no, it was just a building and the rest was going to shambles.
I think the genetically damaged thing is the stupidest thing ever. It makes literally no sense, that smart people would have come up with this theory. I think Veronica Roth was trying to come up with a good reason for having factions but couldn't find one.
Allegiant was told in multiple perspectives, Four's perspective and Tris's perspective. I found their voices to be exactly the same and I think the smart thing to do, would be for Tris to narrate the whole time then when she dies, Four could take over.
The thing that made me like this book, a little bit more was the ending. The ending made me so happy, the zipline and everyone gathering around to remember Tris, that's what really made the book for me.
Despite that beautiful scene, I still hated this book. I have it a 2/5 stars on Goodreads
