I don't regret reading this since I wanted to know how she was going to finish the series, but this book completely failed an already mediocre series. First off, there was no reason to change her narrative structure for this last book. In fact, doing so was a giveaway of the ending. I think a better writer could have pulled off the ending she wanted while keeping the narrative structure she had, and frankly being inside Tris's head for the entire last book probably would have made the ending mor

Is it The Curse of the Third Book in a Trilogy?
In my mind, there is something worse than a bad book: a boring one. And boy is Allegiant boring. Lackluster plot, a mishmash of formerly exciting characters and an ending that made wonder if Ms. Roth didn't hate this character all along. At least with my hatred of Mockingjay, I still cared about the characters and had enough vitriol left to throw the book across the room.

I am so disappointed with how this series ended. I really liked the first book, the second was still pretty good. This last book? Ugh. It was a steady stream of irritating conflict, conflict, conflict, ending in half-assed resolution. There was a lot of wandering around, and ended in the most anticlimactic climax. I'm sorry that it didn't follow a different path at the end.

WTH, Roth! I did not like how this ended! I get it was a big thing for her to be willing to do but I did not like it. Right up to the end I was enjoying it, then I wasn't.

The second book of the series wasn't my favorite, but somehow this one pulled me back in. I couldn't believe how it ended(!!), but I read it in one fell swoop and enjoyed it.

I won't say I LIKED the ending but it wasn't my book to write. Veronica Roth can do whatever she wants. I do think the portrayal of grief was very real and authentic.

I like this one more than I expected to. Story was interesting but writing was worse quality than books 1 & 2.
