Allegiant (Divergent Trilogy)
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.

The final conclusion to the divergent series. IMHO I felt ms Roth either had amnesia OR she was paid an obscene amount of money to hurry up and conclude the series since the movie came out or is coming out soon. I'm bad about movies. I don't particularly care for them.
It was not in the same league of the first book. The second book was not loved by me either. The third book felt like someone else wrote it for her. It was very different in so many levels. I kept saying, "you're kidding, right?" Sadly, I am with a heavy heart as I give it only toe stars. I truly wanted to love this book. It could have been better.
Next book....

SPOILERS.
Seems like it's over for the people in Chicago, after the purity wars and what not genetically. There are always these wars because humans are violent creatures, even if their genes were altered or not.
These books were great, I'd still prefer Hunger Games though.. I didn't really like the narrator switching from Tobias to Trish but I guess that's how the book worked then is it...
Well, happy ending and a safe haven for all peoples no matter which faction they were. No need to think if the color grey or blue looked good on a character's skin tone or whether it matched them as a person. lol

"There are so many ways to be brave in this world... Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life."
These words in Chapter 56 really speak to the essence of this dystopian trilogy. In Allegiant, Roth completes the story with hope and sacrifice, in a way that resolves the story on many levels. I appreciated the arc of the overall story in this trilogy. It has been a very satisfying exploration of human nature in all its good and ill.

Third in the Divergent series (and final), this one didn't fall flat like some of the other 3rd books in trilogies (looking at you, Mockingjay).
Tris, Tobias and crew are stuck inside Chicago where Evelyn, Tobias' mother, leads the new city, by forbidding factions and keeping the factionless armed and patrolling the city. Just another tyrant on the wall.
The Allegiant is formed, a group of people who want the old way of life and who want to follow Edith Prior's video of leaving the city walls. A small group of Divergent, including Tris, Christina and Tobias, head out and discover..... an airport. Otherwise known as the government who is using people as experiments. Now we're getting creepier.
Allegiant explains the purpose of the Chicago experiment and genetically "damaged" vs genetically "pure". It all got very Hitler/Nazi-esque to me, which I suppose is what it was supposed to do.
Someone has to rise against, and they do, with some dire consequences to some main characters. I'll give props to Roth on the ending. Quite powerful.
Since I refuse to spoil, I'll finish with: this is a great ending to a great series. Bravo!

I liked the first 2 books in the series, but I just didn't really see the point of book 3. I'm an avid reader, and yet I just felt like it was painstakingly a drudgery to make my way through this book. I had to force myself to keep picking it up again.
Perhaps I, like other readers, felt that there was some easy foreshadowing from the first few pages of this book. I knew that 1 of the 2 main characters wasn't gonna make it to the end. You can't split the voice of a book between 2 characters in book 3 of the series and not expect your audience to pick up on the fact that something BIG is coming - i.e. A DEATH of one of them.
By the end of the book, I didn't care who lived or died, I just wanted it to be over with. (BIG SIGH!) In a nutshell, book 3 was a disappointment.
