Book Review - Allegiant

Allegiant

Veronica Roth

6 stars

I read this book in December 2015 and it wasn't until I went through my blog updating my pages and such that i realized I forgot to do a review. So this is a lot late, but I still remember most of what went on and how I felt about it so going to give this a shot.

I was really apprehensive going into this book because of the reviews its gotten and how it was received on booktube, everything was negative and so while I wanted to complete the series I went into this novel ready for disappointment. And while I can see why lots of people didn't like this, I enjoyed it. The middle of this book was very drawn out, slow and boring, I came very close to abandoning the book because again I heard that the end was the worst part. For me the beginning and the end were good, not amazing but alright. I also really disliked jumping from perspective to perspective I didn't feel it added to the book in anyway and it was irritating. My final problem with the novel was the character growth, while our characters made leaps and bounds in the first two they where stagnant in this novel and maybe even regressed? They threw anything they had learned and all their progress out the window; started doing the dumbest things that I felt were out of character and just generally lowered the books rating with stupidity.
As for the ending I won't spoil it but I agreed with how it ended. Very much a closure.

Series Review - Divergent

The bookworms archenemy ; the popular books you HAVE to read, that you know are SO over hyped and media inflated (especially when there are movies involved), that you want to read but don't at the same time. Then you read the darn thing and its only OK. It's the OK that I really have a problem with, I am very rarely in the "grey area" with novels, I am a love it or hate it kind of person. All of the YA trilogies lately have been falling in the grey area and its driving me crazy.

Divergent
5 stars

Introducing our setting, five factions based on the five evils that cause war. Abegnation that believe it is selfishness, Erudite that believe it is ignorance, Dauntless that believe it is cowardice, ect. Amity and Candor are the other two factions. Four factions live together in a  city, Amity the fifth lives just outside the fence. The factions do not interact with each other on base levels, they do not work together, go to school together, or get married outside of their own faction. When the teens of the city turn 16 they take an aptitude test and then there is a choosing ceremony, each person is born into a faction, the choosing ceremony is the only time when a person can decide to change factions. Hence the name during the choosing ceremony each person will choose what Faction they want to devote their lives to *the Factionless also live within the city, they are essentially the homeless. To be Factionless is considered a fate worse than death.
Tris is our main character, she was born Abegnation but her aptitude test is inconclusive which makes her Divergent (she could join Dauntless, Erudite or Abegnation equally). Divergence is dangerous, although the majority people don't know of its existence and those who do don't know why it is dangerous. Tris becomes Dauntless where she meets Four who has secrets of his own... and suddenly the world as they know it begins to unravel at the seams.

I don't have much to say about this book, its a good read, its not original, there are movies. Its a dystopian YA.
