Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, Divergent Book 3

okay so allegiant came out last week and i read it (even thought some peole cough +Ryanna C. cough cough spoiled the enTIRE BOOK FOR ME) and lets just say my tears could have filled MULTIPLE swimming pools. anyway this entire post will be a spoiler (thats why i waited so long to do this review) (jk i was actually just lazy but whatever because it worked out well anyway) so if you havent read the book dont read past the background info.

Background Info:

so basically where insurgent left off was that they watched the video of Edith Prior telling them that they were all part of a big experiment and now that there were enough divergent they needed to come save the outside world from humanity itself. but before all of that, a loooott of very complicated stuff happens involving numerous lies (cough cough tRIS cough cough cough) (why would you do that to poor tobias ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO BE HONEST WITH HIM COME ONE ARE YOU SERIOUS) but basically riGHT AFTER FOUR TELLS HER SHES BEING RECKLESS WITH HER LIFE, GUESS WHAT SHE DOES? YUP THATS RIGHT. SHE GOES AND GIVES HERSELF UP TO THE ERUDITE (yeah tris really started to bother me in this book but its okay because she was going through a lot) and she finds out that Caleb was working for Jeanine (like really caleb????? WHYYYY??!?!?!?!) but after that, the dauntless ally with the factionless, but then tris talks to marcus, who tells her that her parents died for some information that Erudite would do anything to keep hidden, and like the stupid little girl she is  she agrees to work with him without eVEN TELLING FOUR NEVER MIND THAT MARCUS IS FOUR'S ABUSIVE FATHER WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE VERY REASON THAT FOUR LEFT ABNEGATION. (as you might imagine that didnt go down very well with four) but they go to erudite, tori kills jeanine, and they expose the information (that is the video of edith prior) 

Ship update: (yay its been a while since ive done one of these)

  • well first and foremost there's Fourtris which i ship with evERY MOLECULE IN MY ENTIRE BODY AND I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP (oh wait i aLREADY DID) (wonderful im crying all over my laptop now) but they're going through some troubles right now because trIS JUST CANNOT BE HONEST WITH FOUR AND I DONT UNDERSTAND TRIS WHY (i mean it was necessary but stillll the emotional pain) but they still love each other very much so its okay theyll work it out (or wiLL THEY) 
  • Will and christina - hhahahahahahahhah jk will is DEAD CUZ TRIS KILLED HIM what who's crying im not crying or anything 
  • Uriah and Marlene - hahahaHAHAHHAHAHAHAH *forced laughter* guess what marlene is ALSO DEAD (and guess what happens in allegiant you'll never guess)
  • Zeke and Shauna - she's paralyzed from the waist down but zeke still loves her and they're still together 
  • evelyn and marcus - hahahahahahahahahahah *starts singing taylor swift* WEEEE ARE NEVER EVER EVERRRR GETTING BACK TOGETHER (why did i even include them no one ships them)

DONT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON READING THE BOOK OKAY DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET IT I SWEAR 

             

Deaths: (ive never had to do one of these but veronica roth is just so cruel and she kills sO MANY PEOPLE SWEET JESUS) so i made a list of people who die (just in this book) 

  • Tori - she's shot while they're escaping to the outside and the moST HEARTBREAKING THING IS THAT GEORGE (HER BROTHER WHO SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS DEAD) WAS WAITING FOR HER OUTSIDE AND SHE DIED WITHOUT EVER KNOWING HE WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE AND HE NEVER SAW HER ASDFGHJKL; 
  • Uriah - he was killed when four allied with this irritating little girl named Nita and she tried to steal some serum from them but four didnt know that what nita was doing was bad but tris did and she tried tO TELL HIM BUT GOSH DIDDLY DARN IT FOUR WHY COULDNT YOU HAVE JUST LISTENED TO HER but aside from that i cried so hard for uriah he was my favorite i loved him so much asdfghjkl but now he's reunited with marlene *breaks down sobbing* 
  • im prettty sure more people die but they're insignificant 
  • wait for it
  • drumroll please
  • annddd the final death is:
  • TRIS
  • *pindrop silence*
  • i kid you not
  • yes veronica roth ACTUALLY KILLED TRIS
  • YUP
  • i cried so so so so so so so hard for this not only for tris but also becausE TOBIAS MY POOR POOR TOBIAS WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO THEY LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH SHE WAS EVERYTHING TO HIM AND THEY HAD SO MANY UPS AND DOWNS AND I CANNOT THEY WERE SO PERFECT UGGGHHHH WHY DOES SHE DIE 


so that's pretty much it if you want a summary of allegiant then go here because this post is getting too long already. 



My overall opinion:

i can't even rate this book out of ten because half of me wants to say -29137491203784610827346/10 and the other half wants to say 29137491203784610827346/10. it was amazingly well written (as always) and i loved how four and tris both got perspectives and it was so complicated and beautiful and then of course fourtris was a huge part of the book (but of course she had to do that because of her wonderful surprise ending because that's what authors do they play with your emotions, make you laugh and cry and smile for their characters, they get your hopes up, and then theY SMASH THEM ON THE GROUND (SO CASUALLY CRUEL IN THE NAME OF BEING HONEST)  but the ending was, in its own way, perfect because i swear NO ONE expected it to happen like at all and (if it hadnt been spoiled for me -_-) i wouldnt have believed it at first because whO KILS THEIR MAIN CHARACTER EVEN RICK RIORDAN, JK ROWLING, AND SUZANNE COLLINS DIDNT DO THAT.  but i cried so much in this book and itS JUST NOT FAIR WHY CAN'T SHE LET THEM BE HAPPY THEY WENT THROUGH SO MUCH  and idk they were never perfect, and they fought more than any OTP i've ever had but they loved each other (that was a reference to this book by the way) and after all of the stuff they had to go through its nOT FAIR THAT THEY COULDN'T EVEN BE HAPPY TOGETHER THEY DESERVED IT. and all the fighting and making up and promises that they had all led up to THIS AND WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY. and also towards the end, after tris dies, veronica was subtly trying to make christina and tobias a thing and i saw it and i was like nope nope nope nOPE NOPENOPENOPENOPE THATS NOT HAPPENING THAT'S NEVER HAPPENING IT CAN'T HAPPEN I WONT LET IT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN because Four and Tris and Will and Christina were fine together but you cannot just kill half of each ship and then shove them together it DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT and i never shipped it i will never shipped it its like my anti OTP and i do not ship them one bit not at all its not fair she can't just smash our hopes and dreams for fourtris and then oN TOP OF THAT TRY AND PUT FOUR WITH CHRISTINA THAT IS BEYOND HEARTLESS. 

so that pretty much it




and here's a picture of the cover (it's really really pretty isnt it)
