This book haunted me for
days. It was a good read of course but I don't know if this book really
concluded the series. Yes, it did answer a lot of questions. Yes, it weaved
some parts of the book. But it's kinda not good enough for me or something?
There were parts that were completely unnecessary. Nonetheless, I loved the
book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. This is the last book in the series
and highly recommend this series if you're more into a dystopian kind of book!
The world Veronica Roth created is just plainly awesome; I have no words to
describe how much creative she is to make such world. I never thought that the
plot twists would literally change my point of view in reading this book. The
characters became a part of me and I am so attached with the characters.
Veronica built a world that is beyond imaginable. Even though I’m kinda having mixed
feelings about this book, overall I had to say that I could reread the series
over and over again and still cry at the ending. I swear I would. Anyway, if
you haven't read Divergent, Insurgent and this book, Allegiant then you
probably would want to leave this book talk now hahaha! But I really really
recommend this book for you guys to read!
Okaaay, hi! So if you're
reading this then you've probably read the book, and maybe your eyes are still
bloodshot from finishing Allegiant. I've read this book last week and my
feelings are still raw from what happened. But I don't want to talk about THAT
part, I'll start off by saying how unimpressed I was with the story of this
book. I hope that we do have the same feelings because I've watched some book
reviews about Allegiant on Youtube and they were disappointed as well. There
are just too many things that is going on with the book that it made me kinda
hard to catch up with what is going on. Like the Allegiant, the factionless,
the Bureau, the GPs and GDs and the thing going on with Tris and Tobias. It’s
just too much okay. Plus, there's too many rebellion in this book I don't even know why.
I was so confused, okay that can be an understatement or an
overstatement to describe what I felt throughout my experience in reading this
book. It just confused the hell out of me. I don’t know if Evelyn is one of the
antagonist, or Marcus or the GPs or the GDs, I feel like everyone is the bad
guy in the story. I don’t know which side I’m supposed to be in. It started off
with the factionless and how they were already in the Amity compound. Maybe it’s
just me and my weak memory but the things that happened on Insurgent were a
little bit blurry and I can’t remember the factionless taking over the Amity
compound, because the last thing that I remembered from Insurgent is the video
of Edith Prior. I was looking for Edith Prior the whole time only to figure out
that she’s already dead, and what’s worse is that she was like a great great
great grandmother of Tris or something. I don’t get why Veronica Roth had to
put that in the story, it could’ve been someone from the Bureau who is still
alive, David to be exact. But still, I know that the reason why Edith Prior was the one who was in
the video is because to show that Tris is like part of whatever rebellion is
going on with Edith Prior. A good plot twist to be honest. I kinda predicted
that Tris’ mom is part of the Bureau but I never thought that she’s from the
fringe! Anyway, so the thing with the factionless part of the story is that I’m
not really amused with it. I don’t know maybe it’s just me. But my favorite scene on that part would probably Tris' and Tobias' first date!!! They're so cute *tears please stop*. And when the Allegiant showed up, I didn't actually thought that Allegiant was a group of people. Hahaha okay I feel so stupid. But I thought it was another thing connected to their genetics or something. I don't know why Allegiant was the title of the book because the group barely showed up in the book. I'M JUST SOOOOO CONFUSED. I don't know how to start talking about the unnecessary things without saying things against the book because I SERIOUSLY LOVED IT, I hope you don't get me wrong.
Okay so maybe Allegiant helped Tris, Tobias ,Christina, Caleb and etc. go out of the compound of the factionless. Maybe Allegiant helped out main characters meet the Bureau. But, I don't think that Allegiant themselves have a purpose in this book, like seriously. I can't understand why they'd have to be there in the first place. Can someone clear this up for me? I don't even think that Allegiant is aware of the Bureau. It's like a coincedence you know? The main characters meeting Amar and Zoe is all an accident. What if they they haven't met each other? Where are they really going? I was not expecting the Bureau to be like that, to be that civilized, to be that well-developed, to be like US. I honestly wasn't expecting that. People already guessed about the Divergent being "genetically pure", I feel so dumb not to realize that before, but HOW CAN PEOPLE MAKE UP THAT KIND OF HYPOTHESIS? Anyway, since we're talking about the GPs and GDs, can I just say how I hated Tobias making a huge deal out of it? I know that
it's hard to know that you’re damaged, but it’s not like you’re literally
damaged! It’s not about that at all. I know that GPs are being such douchebags
for treating GDs like they’re mentally retarded or something but for Tobias to
act as if he is actually damaged is pretty stupid. Everyone looks up to him
despite him being a GP. And he’s like a GP and a GD! He can resist serums and
whatnot, he’s close to being Divergent, can’t he be happy about that? That he
is special and no one can control him? His way of thinking makes me go cray
cray. I hated how he didn’t listen to Tris, I hated how he thinks that Tris’
judgment is blurred because she’s jealous. I hate how he betrayed everyone
because he thinks he’s damaged (but of course I love Tobias okaaay).
Since I already
knew that Tris is going to die in this book, seeing Tobias excited to see her
broke my heart to small emotional pieces like, I’m not even joking. I was
crying and crying and crying until I can’t breathe anymore. Knowing the major
spoiler made my tears run down on my face earlier than I expected. When she was
looking at Caleb and realizing that she can go through the death serum, and
that she loves Caleb, and when she started reminiscing about them, I started
crying like crazy. And when she said to Caleb that “If I don’t survive tell
Tobias I didn’t want to leave him.” I. WENT. FRENZY. I was screaming “NOOOO
TRIS DON’T GO IN THERE PLEASE!!!!” I was so mad about what’s happening. The end
of each chapter makes my mind go all over the place-- with Tobias finally
reuniting with his mother and Tris plunging to her death. There are certain
things in life that I can’t handle simultaneously and this is one of those
things. When Tris died, I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so emotionally
attached to Tris. I’ve been with her for 3 books!! THREE BOOKS! I started to
love her and understand her and see things in her perspective. Some say that
she wasted her life with what she did but I don’t believe that because she
saved the Bureau. She was the one that the peace was brought back into the
world. She was the perfect definition of being dauntless. She’ll always be
someone that I’ll look up to.
