4 stars.And i don't DO four stars. Spoilers ahead. i can't contain myself!!

First of all..NO. JUST NO. Why did Veronica decide to go all 'poetic' and dramatic? What was that ending for? What was that writing for? I feel like Divergent and Allegiant were written by a different author. it makes no sense to me. Divergent is a masterpiece!! The writing,the characters,the plot,the scenery. I adore it!! ♥ I can't express my love for it!! Insurgent was okay..But this? THIS? I'm so mad!! The POVs were a 4 stars.And i don't DO four stars. Spoilers ahead. i can't contain myself!!

I adore it!! ♥ I can't express my love for it!! Insurgent was okay..But this? THIS? I'm so mad!! The POVs were awfully written. Sometimes i couldn't distinct Tris from Tobias. it was irritating. The only good thing about it was that we got the chance to be inside Tobias' head and that was just breath-taking and marvelous ♥ He's an amazing character!! The Tris/Four scenes were so cute and WOW! I love them!! But the constant bittering and fighting? I just needed them happy..and now.. Now. the big thing. SHE HAD TO GO AND KILL HER DIDN'T SHE? WHY? To make it more dramatic? More realistic? If i wanted realism i could just open my eyes and look around...She didn't just killed Tris. to me,she killed the entire fucking trilogy. and yes that was swearing,in goodreads,in my review,i can't calm down. I don't know why this book bothered me so much. I've probably read worse,and lots of my favorite characters in books,movies,shows have died. I do and must expect it in my wonderful fictional world. But this time it seemed so..unnatural and forced to me. :/ Veronica kept pushing the imminent death all the time, 'there are no second chances after you've died for something,at least as far as i know.'. We get it. you want to kill Tris. My poor baby Tobias :''( I cried so much during the last 50 pages.. *takes deep breaths to calm down*

I want to finish this review by saying thank you to Veronica Roth for Divergent and creating wonderful characters like Tris and Four and Christina..I will never forget them. but i'll try to forget the ending to this beautiful trilogy.

La mayoría de reacciones de las personas que ya leyeron el libro ante su desenlace y desarrollo fueron pésimas, pero debo decir que a pesar de las grandes sorpresas, de la intriga, de la poca acción comparada con la de los libros anteriores, y de que esta saga no ha sido mi favorita nunca, este libro, más que los otros me gusto mucho.
Creo que su autora no tenía otra opción de final perfecto, ella quería impactar, quería dejarnos con la boca abierta, ella quería cambiar el final rosa y llegar a u ...more

Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, everyone. We can't escape that damage.

But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.

This series has forever changed me. ...more

This book was just... absolutely incredible. (view spoiler)

I started crying at the last 16 pages when it hit me hard that the series was over and these books had a huge impact on my emotional stability. I'm just... I... I'm speechless, really.

It was good but it would've been better if it was split into two books. That way, the story wouldn't have seemed a bit rushed. It's like the events of the first two books have been merged into this third book. I like her take on the history of the Purity War. It gave off a hint of genius in it. Also, I like how it's not the traditional ending and that the last words of the book were just well thought of. ...more

I know a lot of people don't really like this book. I know there are reasons but i don't feel the same way about this book. I loved it really.
I felt like it was different from the other two books in the series because there was more feeling to it.
It's told from both Tris's and Tobias's views.
At times I hated the characters im going to be honest, but also at the same time I loved them and couldn't help but think I shouldn't be mad at them for that.

Also what I really liked about this book is it isn't really action packed like most books end up being as they reach the end of the trilogy. I don't know it gave it a realistic feel and I just loved it.
I know a lot of people don't like it and won't like it but hopefully you can get past all the things you don't like about it and all the things that make you sad or mad and look at everything else. The good parts of the book that make you happy and glad your reading it.
It's just a beautiful book that I really love and think that Veronica Roth did a beautiful job on. I'm honestly sad to see the series come to an end but i'm glad it came to an end so beautifully.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed with this book. Although not as earth shattering as the first two, I do think that this book was a good wrap up to an amazing book series. I was not a fan of the Four/Tris point of view change, but by the end of the book I realized the necessity of it. I do think that she changed the essence of the series - which is why I think a lot of people were not fans of this last story. I missed the factions and psychological part behind them, but again I understood the c ...more

real rating is 4.5 stars.
I was a tad disappointed in the ending, it seemed kind of abrupt but all in all it was a really good book. compared to divergent and insurgent, though, it didn't have as much action as I would have expected from the series. still really good and would recommend it to anyone I meet. ...more
