Book Review - "Allegiant"

Hey,

I've reviewed the first two books in this series so i had to tell you about this one too! It is the last book in the series, of the story of Tris.

The Blurb reads:
"What if a single revelation - like a single choice - changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered - fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled with loyalties. 

But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truth change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to compete hand the complexities of human nature - and of herself - while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiances, sacrifice and love."

This story is told from dual perspective, from the oringal character Tris and now from Tobis (Four), you get to see how he feels about the life they are walking into away from the city they both have grown up in and have been hurt by. But what they find on the outside isn't what they both expected. Plus old faces who they thought was lost appear... Leaving many more questions to their world. Divergents are what they have been looking for, Tris is their main aim, however when her friends don't fit in a split appears around the once tight friendly group. How would you feel if you were told there was something wrong with you, that your whole life has been a lie, the only world you know has been a lie. Tris and Tobias must be strong together when everything is ready to tear them apart. Each knows they have a place in this new world, but can't forget the one they have left behind, but won't stop fighting for the one they have known. 

This book changes from character, giving you more of as view into the new world they are in, but I feel the story isn't as strong as the first two. I'm also a little sad to how the story ends, I don't want to give anything away but I wished for a different furturer for the couple I have fallen for, their story and their life. However it is always a choice we get to make, so in keeping with the book, as you go on into your future...Be brave....


Love Lolly
