Allegiant (Divergent #3)

Hello Everyone!
Yes, I am sorry for not posting for so long.
I know it's been a month, and I'm trying not to cringe at my lateness of this now... I am failing...

So yes! I finally read this big beautiful book of mine; after having it sit on my beside table for three weeks... oops?

First off, LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THIS IS

*Cough* he hem...

Sorry.

So this book was a mix of feelings for me, I'm not really sure if I enjoyed it or not.

In a way I felt kinda disappointed with what was outside of the fence because there wasn't really any action, and it was the same old Nazi point of view that I've seen revisited a few times by different authors before. Plus, lets not mention the plot holes in this - it was just a little too convenient for me for Bureau not to have any any mics with their cameras, if they had it would have caused Tris and Tobias a whole lot more problems when they were scheming with the others.

Also, I am just sick of the whole troubled relationship with Tris and Tobias, I mean, couples are going to fight and have problems sometimes; but it seems like these two are constantly fighting, bickering and disagreeing and I've had enough of it. AND when they're not bickering they are kissing - there were no real cute couple moments for me shared between the two. I wish they were wrote like they were in Divergent, when their relationship was more fun to read - even when they had their ups and downs.

And then there was the killing of off characters, I mean was Uriah's death really necessary? I felt like it just came out of nowhere and wasn't needed at all, especially with the growing bond between him and Christina (which was really cute and I LOVED IT - more than I loved Tris and Tobias' relationship in this book, sorry, had to be said.) But Tori's death was just a shock for me, I had to go back and read the page a couple of times, I just wasn't expecting it; and to be honest, I still don't know how I feel about it now.

The only thing that redeemed this book for me was the ending and Tris' death. I really wasn't expecting it, and it takes a lot of guts to pull of a main character's death like that. I mean, of course I cried when she died, even though I didn't like the relationship she had with Tobias, I liked here as a person and felt like I could relate to her. Also, the way she died she was great for me, she sacrificed herself for people who may not have even liked and forgave her brother (which by the way was heartwarming - until she dies and then it was HEARTBREAKING)

So overall, if you're hooked on the series then read it, but you know if you were unsure when you finished the second book then don't bother. I found it a bit boring times and repetitive, I didn't really start to enjoy it properly until Tris died... that sounds really cruel, doesn't it? Sorry Tris!
