I am not in the right mind to do a star rating on this book at this time...Honestly I may not ever be.
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
Okay first off I have come to the conclusion that maybe dystopian book aren't for me...
That being said:
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS READING although there are no specific 'spoilers' in my review it is probably a little spolier-esq...
I am seriously at a loss for words...
I loved this series. Like with most of my favorite series' I became a bit obsessive. Up until this point I wasn't sure that there could be a worse way to end a series than Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. My apologies, because seriously this was worse. Yet I find myself still really liking this series, (after mockingjay I didn't read anything for nearly a month). I was so upset I even told my husband, "Honey you will never believe it!" He is not a reader and doesn't understand it...his response: "Sorry honey I cannot be responsible for your emotions toward fictional characters in your life". Which is all fairness is a valid point.
The book was so fast paced and lively. Honestly I still struggle with where I should rate this book because the first part of it was nicely done. The last few chapters really tore my heart apart and although after reading Roth's blog you can read it here ( VRs View on her book )I have a better understanding of WHY the book ended the way it did. It just doesn't seem right or fair. I understand that life isn't right or fair...but in my opinion books are supposed to be and unfortunately Allegiant fell a bit short for me. Maybe that is because again it is a dystopian book.
Is it worth the read? Absolutely, but go into it knowing that you most certainly will bawl your eyes out. Unless you don't have a heart, in which case dystopian books are probably the perfect read for you!
Too sad for any more words..
