I think that this book was ridiculously filled with information, to the point where it was overwhelming. First they found that the Edith Prior video was untrue, and then they found out that the Bureau of Genetic Welfare was lying and then Nita, who was against the Bureau, was also lying. But even though so many people are lying, most of the characters continue to believe every piece of information they I finished reading Allegiant this morning and I'm still extremely conflicted about how I feel.

But even though so many people are lying, most of the characters continue to believe every piece of information they are told. Everyone except Tris, who is always skeptical. The whole plot regarding the genetically pure and the genetically damaged seems so horrific but reflects our society to such an extent its frightening. Now regarding Tobias and Tris's relationship. Both of them have definitely grown since the previous book and are finally beginning to uphold the promise they made to each other. The only thing that seemed childish was the fact that Tris would be jealous over Nita with regards to Tobias. It's completely understandable for her to feel that way but for Tobias to throw that in her face in order to lessen her credibility was a jerk move. Finally I'm going to talk about the ending that had me in tears. Before I had read it, the ending was ruined for me, which is why I was able to see so many clues leading up to it. Are there rules that main characters shouldn't die? Of course, no reader wants to read about the main character dying, but I personally thought it worked. Looking back on it, this was being built up and foreshadowed, not just throughout the book, but also throughout the entire series. When Tris's parents died for her, she was exposed to the idea of self-sacrifice for the first time and continues to contemplate it. In the second book, she tries to implement this idea when she decides to go to the Erudite headquarters in order to spare the lives of her fellow Dauntless. Finally in the last book, she understands the idea of self-sacrifice and when it's necessary and is finally able to successfully execute it. There is also a major theme of family. No matter what Caleb does, he's her brother and when it comes down to it, she'd give her life for him. No conditions. By the end, I admit the character I was the most upset for was Christina. Earlier in the story she had mentioned how she was slowly losing each of her friends and by the end of the book did it hit me how true that was, how lonely her life is and will be.

I think one of the major things that hit me hard in this book was the interactions between Tobias and Tris in the first book and then after she died.
Tobias said to Tris: "I'd only go to your funeral if there was cake."
At Tris's funeral, there wasn't cake. But he still showed up.
A quote that was meant to be a joke was turned into a horrific reality.

For the first time in my life I was so freacking excited to read the last book of a trilogy that I follow since the beggining. I wish I didn't read Allegiant, man.

a) I want this trilogy never had ended. and b) Is so frecking sad that even the happiest person in the world would cry till there's no more liquid in his bodysystem.

Allegiant let me with one-week-bed-therapy. the night I finished Allegiant my pillow seemed like an ocean. SERIOUSLY

Don't misunderstand me. The book was amazing. Sinc ...more

Tengo el libro hace como un mes y no quería leerlo, lo retrasé y lo retrasé, pero supongo que era inevitable… Ya sabía lo que me esperaba por supuesto pero el punto era saber como y porque pasaba… Y después de eso había que alargar más el sufrimiento?! Parece que si, excelente fin de la saga… Excluyendo lo obvio… Esperemos que como en muchas películas ignoren partes del libro xd quizá en la gran pantalla tengamos el final que todos queríamos.
