Allegiant

Last week I started and finished Allegiant by Veronica Roth!!! I loved this book and the series!!! I finished Allegiant in one day!

I'm afraid if i give a summary I will spoil the book, so I'm going to break down what I like and dislike.

Veronica Roth's writing style

I personally never got bored while reading. I kept on wanting to read on and on! Roth writes in a more advance way, but makes it understable by using context clues. I love how the author clues in little pieces of information, that you dont notice, but it completely impacts the ending! I'm always resally surprised! Allegiant kept me on my toes!

Characters

There are so many characters in Allegiant. I think some Veronica prupsoly made likeable and dislikeable. I know many people who was very irrtaited with Tris, the main character, but I think it made her feel more human and the ending had a bigger impact because of this. I believe Veronica Roth did this on purpose. There was common people that were hated, Evelyn, the dictator, and Marcus, who abused Tobias. I loved seeing these characters change and not doing what you except them too.

Ending

The ending is sad and a surprise. But I like it. It's something diffrent. You except a happy ending from this triology, and it doesn't happen. It's a total surprise.

Dislikes

I love this book! I don't hate anything about it!

Theme

I think there is a clear theme in this book; Sometimes you have to do things you hate, even if it means dying, for the ones that you love. There is so msany examples of this! Evelyn, Tris, Caleb and Tobias all do some form of this! I can't give you examples because I don't want to spoil the book. Here an quote from Tris that shows you this; "I love my brother. I love him, and he is quaking with the terror at the thought of death." This quote then goes on, but I don't want to spoil want Tris does for her brother! What she does is a huge event in the book!

I give Allegiant five stars!!! Please check out Maya's blog post about Allegiant. It's a really intresting perspective!
