Love this trilogy of books I think they just got better and better. Katnis is such a fighter even though you know she really doesn't want to be. Really recommend these books.

I received this book a long time ago and a while after the publishing date. Therefore I will not be giving feedback as not only would it no longer be relevant, but also I didn't get round to reading it. My thanks to the published for the opportunity, as always this is much appreciated.

Sorry for late review - just catching up after a busy 12 months. Fabulous books following the fabulous films. Thank you for the read. Much appreciated.

I recently bought a new kindle after my old one broke. For some reason I was unable to download this title from the cloud onto my kindle, therefore I will be unable to review this title. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused

For some godforsaken reason my original rating for Allegiant was four stars, because I liked it less than the first two books in the series but apparently wasn't brave enough to use the one star button back in 2014. What a moron.
This time around I actually felt a lot more forgiving towards it, especially when contrasting it with the trainwreck that is Insurgent. Yes, I'm giving them the same rating, but Allegiant is pushing 2.5 stars while Insurgent is floundering just above the 1.5 star mark.
Things start off badly, when Jonathan Wu - Tori's brother, and the man who sparks her hatred towards Jeanine Matthews and the Erudite - magically changes his name to George without an eyebrow being raised. I have no idea how a proofreader didn't pick up on this discrepancy, and it makes me even more convinced that no editing team at all was involved in the creation of the second book.
Allegiant still has some issues with repetition, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as it was throughout the entirety of Insurgent. My main problem with this book was the overly convoluted explanations. Everything is made much harder to understand than it should be, and while that means Veronica Roth clearly thought through the origins of the world that she has created it makes me wonder whether all of those thoughts were really worth sharing with her readers.
There are two plots running alongside each other: Evelyn, in the city, finds a huge store of death serum and is considering using it against the Allegiant uprising, while outside of the city there's a huge store of memory serum which might be used against the people in the city. The store of memory serum is guarded by death serum, and is potentially getting released because of the store of death serum in the city... Can you see why things get a little difficult to follow?!
Honestly, one of the only things I enjoyed about this final book - the first time I read it and this time, during this ill-advised reread - were the named character deaths. Veronica Roth pulls no punches, killing off characters we've followed since book one without flinching, and I think it makes her a very brave author (particularly as this is YA). Not many authors are fans of killing their darlings, and it's an issue I have with YA that the endings are often completely unbelievable happy ever afters, so Veronica Roth gets my respect for not allowing everyone to survive.
I still think the first book in this series is absolutely brilliant, but as a trilogy - and with the last two books both coming in at over 500 pages - it is not worth the time or effort.

I felt the first book was probably a little young for me, and also too similar to The Hunger Games series to really hold my interest any further. Therefore, I didn't read this instalment.

I only read this third instalment because it was on my kindle and was readily available from Netgalley, otherwise I doubt I would have bothered.

From what I can recall, the first book in this series was enjoyable. I read the second last year and couldn't help but wonder why a second book had been comminsioned, and now after finishing the series, I wish I had only read the first book.

This was an awful way to end a series. The writing was clunky and repetitive. In fact, everything in this book was repetitive. The entire plot could be described as thus:
An uprising - secret meetings - betrayal - gun fight - an uprising - secret meetings - betrayal - gun fight, and on and on and on.

This was absolute slog to get through, and utterly boring. Thankfully, there are no more, and I can now tick this series off my literary list. Disappointing end to a series that had, I thought, a first strong book.

This series is one of the most interesting, thought provoking book series I have ever read. I loved the whole premise of the storyline, and the strong independent characters, not one of them that does not interest the reader. The storyline is strong and individual, with well built worlds to support the characters. The author has worked hard to create both a world, and characters that we can relate too, and emphasise with. I truly loved these books and felt quite sad when I had finished them, it was like losing friends.

It took me a while to get into this one, I didn't find it as readable as previous books in the series. That being said, I did enjoy it once I got into it. Set outside of the world we have got to know it's jarring in it's perspective, however I'd recommend it to anyone that has read the previous 2 books.
