Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves.

***THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS***
Okay, I this review is going to be a very quick
review, mostly because I don’t really have much to say about this book. Needless
to say, it was a lot worse than book 1, Divergent (click here for the review on
that) and book 2, Insurgent (click here for the review on that).
My opinion on Tris is pretty much the same as
the previous two books. She is just a stubborn, grumpy protagonist. For some
female characters, that personality may on some levels seem okay however, it
was just getting very annoying with Tris. She was just like a petite brat.
However, my opinion on Four/Tobias drastically
changed with Allegiant. He just became a guy version of Tris and there were (on
numerous occasions) whereby you didn’t know if it was Tris’s perspective or
Four’s perspective in the book. They just became one and not in a very good
way.
What annoyed me the most about this book was Tris
dying. I know I can’t stand the girl
however, it’s always a vital mistake if you go and kill off the main character,
especially if it’s a book series whereby the readers have come to know the
character. Looking at the past reviews for this book, I can see I’m not the
only with this opinion.
All in all, the book just didn’t pick up on its
plot line. Once Tris and her little group escaped from the Factionless and into
the outside world, you would have thought something big was going to happen.
The only thing ‘big’ was the memory serum and re-starting the whole factions.
In my opinion it was kind of a letdown after months and months of leaving the
readers in suspense about the outside world.
