Overall, I think Allegiant is the perfect ending to the Divergent trilogy. While I didn't always agree with her viewpoint or the path she took throughout the series, by the end of Allegiant I thought she had made the right choice and I think Roth, though criticised by some fans, also made the right decision. Once again, Tris becomes stronger as a character, making decisions that really show how far she has come from the girl who left Abnegation in Divergent.
I think the hypocrisy of it says a lot about society in general, not just within the books. The way the society outside Chicago mirrors the warring system within was another idea I really liked. Instead of perpetuating the same faction trope from the first two books, Tris and Tobias' world is made bigger, answering a lot of questions from the end of Insurgent and also providing more information on what caused the faction system to be implemented in the first place, within dystopian Chicago. The expansion of the Divergent world was another feature of the book that really made it stand out. In places, the switching between viewpoints got a little hazy and the two narrative voices sounded too similar to the point where it was confusing to read, but other than that the double viewpoint really worked. I also thought that by adding Tobias' viewpoint in, Roth develops his character and highlights the stark differences between how Tris sees him and the decisions he makes, and how he views himself.
There could be two separate things going on at once and you'd understand them both firsthand, rather than later reading about a character relaying the information.
I loved Tris' viewpoint from the first two books but I thought that seeing things through Tobias' eyes as well gave a lot of the situations much more perspective and widened the setting. Through Tris and Tobias' eyes, Allegiant closes the curtain on the broken dystopian society.įirst of all, I really enjoyed the double viewpoint of this book. What they find is another society threatening to tear itself apart. Seeking a way out of their crumbling world, the group take a chance and go beyond the fence to discover if life outside the city is better. Told from two viewpoints, Allegiant follows Tris and Four (Tobias) and the few friends they trust, as they come to terms with the information revealed at the end of Insurgent that pulls the factions and the factionless further and further apart. The final installment of Veronica Roth's explosive Divergent trilogy has arrived.
