This 3rd book in the 'Divergent' series completes the trilogy. The faction system has fallen apart, and the members venture outside the walls of their former confined community.
Dauntless fighters Tris.....
......and Four have to show their mettle in the resulting dangerous environment.
IMO the completed series doesn't live up to the hype. I feel like the author loses her way somewhere along the line and whatever point she is trying to get across to the reader is not clear.
It seems (to me) that Veronica Roth is suggesting that family and loved ones are the most important thing in life and should be cherished above everything.
I think she also wants us to understand that the characters in the series who don't agree with the views of the government are not "genetically damaged" - and they shouldn't be considered inferior and eliminated.
I can understand why young girls like the books. The romance between Tris and Four - all the scenes of kissing and snuggling - is aimed right at them. I do understand why many people were especially disappointed with Allegiant....they wanted a happier ending than they got.
For me this just wasn't a totally successful series.
Rating: 3 stars
