Book Review of Allegiant (Divergent, Bk 3)

Allegiant (Divergent, Bk 3)
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


I loved the first two books. It was a long wait for the third one to come out. I found that I had forgotten the dynamics of a lot of the key players so I scrambled to do some reviewing before I got too far into the book.

It was slow at first. I didn't think I was going to like it. The middle got me going and kept me hooked although I thought there were a lot more interesting "paths" she could have taken some of the characters.

Possible spoilers below here, at least hints ... ALERT

The ending? Oh no way ... nuh-uh. I did not like the way she ended it at all. I can understand because it would have almost been too contrived had something like that not happened. But from the moment "it" happened - I kept waiting for "something" to make it not so. Some sort of reverse serum, or something. I don't know what I was waiting for. It took me until almost then end to realize, "hey, this IS how it's going to end."

All in all, it was a good series. I'm glad I read the three books - I just wish the last one was as good as the first two.

I just saw the first movie and gave it high marks. I'll be watching the rest of the movies as they come out.
