Book/Series Reviews

Allegiant - Veronica Roth

Ages 13+

THyis boiok waasd sdo hearthbraekoinasg.

Sorry guys. It's hard to type when tears are freaking blinding my vision.

Um, yeah. So, that's a thing. Veronica Roth successfully manages to rip your soul out and put it through a cheese shredder MULTIPLE TIMES throughout this freaking book. Oh my freaking goodness. I am in serious emotional turmoil right now.

So, like, if you haven't read the rest of the Divergent series, then I suggest you go and read them right about now and come back later when you're as emotionally scarred as I am. Kay? Kay. See ya later. Bye.

As for those of you who haven't read Allegiant yet but have read the other two books...

READ THE DAMN BOOK.

DON'T READ THE DAMN BOOK.

READ IT.

DON'T READ IT.

JUST READ IT, DAMMIT.

But be warned of, like, emotional agony.

So go and read it right now. Don't read the rest of this review, as it will contain spoilers. Alrighty. Bye-bye, now. I'll see ya later and we can discuss our feels.

NOW FOR THE SPOILER SECTIONNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, guys, guess what.

Veronica Roth is a bitch.

Who the hell kills off her main character?

And you know whose death I'm even more upset about?

FREAKING URIAH.

Confession time.

Starting at Insurgent, I didn't really like Tris that much. Read my rant on her in my review for the first two books. I'm not gonna repeat myself. But yeah. I kinda hated her. I wasn't that upset that she died.

I just hated seeing Tobias so heartbroken. Because he's such a fluffy marshmallow of pain and hurt and he just needs a hug.

BUT FREAKING URIAH. WHAT THE FREAKING HELL? NO. NO. NOT OKAY.

SO. NOT. OKAY.

I loved Uriah. He was one of my favorite characters. Seriously. He should not have died. There was no reason to kill him.

It actually was kind of annoying. Almost like V Roth went into writing this series with the goal of ripping out as many hearts as possible. Because let's see. Will. Tris's parents. Marlene. Tori. Uriah. Tris. That poor man at the beginning of Allegiant.

Yeah. Let's kill ALL the characters. Why not? It'll be fun!

no.

you're wrong.

it's not fun.

go away.

Another thing that annoyed me was Tris and Tobias's relationship. It seemed that throughout the story they were either mad at each other or glued together with their tongues down each others' throats. Seriously. What about in the first book, when they'd just talk? Remember that time by the chasm, when they just held hands? That was beautiful.

Making out constantly was not.

My annoyance started in Insurgent, when Tris was a stupid, self-sacrificing bitch. NO. If you're gonna die for someone, at least tell people the truth. Don't lie to the people you love about it and sneak away in the middle of the night. She was much better about that in Allegiant. I was proud of her. But I kind of wish that she would have seen the full extent of Tobias's love for her instead of being so caught up in doubt and other stuff.

Okay. That's my rant on Allegiant. I cried at the ending, but not nearly as much as I did in TFiOS. I sobbed buckets for TFiOS.

Farewell, my people. We should form a support group.
