Allegiant is the third book in The Divergent series by Veronica Roth. From the first page, I knew I was going to like it better than the second book Insurgent. It held my attention from the first word to the last. It was engaging partially because of the storyline, but also because Roth added Tobias as an additional perspective. I found it confusing at times, but liked it because it gave us more information about the quiet Four.
The story begins with Tris imprisoned by the factionless, Tobias having escaped by being the son of the factionless leader. The plot revolves around a group of people not only interested in restoring the factions but also wanting to understand and act upon Edith Prior’s message about life outside the city. Tris and Tobias leave the city with this group and learn the true story behind their ancestors and the factions. But that’s not all. Just when the reader believes Tris and Tobias are safe from any more conflict in their lives, the pair discovers yet another group eager for revolt
I loved this book. There is a lot of growth to both characters, and the plot kept me turning pages to learn what was going to happen. The ending, though possibly disturbing to some, was the only way it could have ended to maintain true to the characters. So, pick up Allegiant and learn what happens to Tris and Four. You won’t be sorry.
