Allegiant Review

Hello!! It's been a really long time for me to write another book review because I've been so busy with school. Anyhow, I want to talk about Allegiant by Veronica Roth. Now, for those of you who are not familiar with the Divergent series, Allegiant is the final book of the trilogy, and it is supposed to unravel the questions that come up in the previous books. The book does a good job answering the questions; however, I don't find it thrilling. Yes, now we know why there are factions. And there are the GD and GP. Basically, Allegiant gives me a dull feeling about the setting. Tris and Four escape in the first place to find out truth, to seek security, and to avoid the chaotic violence inside the fence. But there are layers and layers of dissents and subgroups that at one point, I feel like they are all going to fail. I like that Four and Tris are able to stay honest with each other, but maybe it's the fact that this series has set my expectation too high, because after reading 200 pages, I just want to stop reading. The duo pov is confusing at times since the narrators' voices are more than similar. I still want to give credit to Veronica Roth, though, for finishing this amazing series. This book is a bit disappointing, but I can tell that she gave effort into it, and that's enough. P.S Tris' death is not as frustrating to me as it is to other readers, but I really wish it would've been another character, i.e Caleb.
