Allegiant question

Just check the average rating compared to the other books, and you should get the idea.

At first, I was really mad that tris died. But then I realized that if she had died in a better and more purposeful way, then I would have been totally okay with it. But tris in Allegiant was way different from tris in the first two books. It wasn't a good thing either. The real problem I have is the lack of planning and care that went into this book. You could easily notice the carefully thought out plots in Divergent and Insurgent while Allegiant was just a mess.

Alright. I read the first book in less than a day, and I was obsessed. It was all I could talk about to m friends, my family. Then I read Insurgent. It was alright, of course not as good as the first because Tris was all upset that she'd killed Will, and she seemed like she didn't care about anything anymore. But the third one really disappointed me. It seemed like it just dragged on and on about the damaged genes, and I really didn't like how it was in both Tobias and Tris' perspectives because I could never tell which was which. And then there was the ending. I just don't understand why it was necessary to kill the main character, then have an epilogue where they cremate her, take her ashes and flick them into the wind. Why, Veronica, why? It was a huge disappointment for me, and even though I read this book before Christmas, I still can't get over the ending...

So much so. I was disappointed in the inconsistent narrative voice. Why on earth would you introduce an alternating second voice to a trilogy in book three? From three chapters in you knew something would happen to Tris, otherwise there would be no need to hear Tobias's whiny perspective.

I hate the ending too. I read it last summer and it still haunts me from this day on.

I really liked the first two books even though Insurgent kind of got on my nerves. Someone accidentally spoiled Allegiant for me so I just decided to read all the spoilers and to be honest I'm glad I didn't waste my time reading it just to get all upset about it.

I was very disappointed with this book. The ending was bad enough, but that's not it. Really the whole book didn't make sense with all the inaccurate science and plot holes. It didn't even feel like the same series. There were a few nice scenes with Tris and Four/Tobias but even then, we get a ridiculous plot point between them.

I have so many issues with this book. And, Tris' death really overshadows the whole series, in my opinion. There is no feeling of triumph or hope at the end. I get that a sweeping romantic happily ever after may not be appropriate, but there are a whole lot of options in between killing off the main character and a generic happily ever after. Although what is so wrong with a happy or hopeful ending anyway? Real life can be tragic enough at times. Anyway, a very disappointing end to this series. I am hoping for a better movie--and not just the ending.

I was annoyed with the back and forth between the perspectives of Tris and Four. I had to stop and ask who was talking almost every chapter. The plot drug on and on and I really don't care about the GD/GP problem other than the issues going on inside Chicago, which was the whole idea behind the series. Could have found a better way to kill Tris off. Wow she can survive death serum here's a shot to the head. Could have kept Tris alive, but in a wheel chair or disfigured in some way.

I actually was disappointed by Allegiant, but not for reason most people were. A lot of the hate for this book was because of Tris dying. Honestly, I was ok with her death. Oh sure I cried for hours, threw the book across the room and screamed at the world for being a cruel and desolate place, but other than that I was ok with it. Kudos to Veronica Roth for killing off her main character - not a lot of authors have the guts to do that.
My problem with this book was the actual plot - the entire thing before the ending just wasn't up to Divergent's standard. The whole GP/GD thing was kinda boring and Tris and Tobias spent the entire thing fighting over unnecessary stuff. Plus there were two wars going on - the one within Chicago that we actually cared about and the one in the real world (GD vs GP) which was a tad bit hard to invest yourself into caring about when you'd never even heard about them until Allegiant.
I'm just saying, there are a million ways she could have taken the story, and the one she chose just didn't work (in my opinion). It was a good book, but in comparison to the others, it was lacking.

allegiant was kinda dissapointing but its okay....
it took me forever to get over it, and i couldnt help but feel bad for four...but im happy tris died-now four is all mineeeeee-haha jk...it was depressing:(

I think that Tris's death is actually OK or even needed for the way the story went in Allegiant.

But I also think that Roth was unable to wrap the story up nicely. There must be a way to finish the story without going downhill. I was so detached in Allegiant. It felt like I was reading a book that has nothing to do with the Divergent series. It's like eating the candy wrapper after eating the candy. I tried to ride with the story but it didn't sit well with me. After reading the book I was so disturbed that it took me two days to erase the frown from my face.

Another thing is that, sometimes I couldn't remember what POV I'm at. Tris's and Tobias's POVs are so alike that I can't count how many times I was lost.

Allegiant felt rushed, like Roth was cramming to finish the story and just came up with something that will return the Divergent world to the real world because the real world is a comfort zone. A comfort zone where she felt that she can get away with using not much imagination while giving her readers something to quickly relate to...

But that didn't happen. It just messed the whole story for me...

I don't really hate the ending.. I was just...disappointed...big time. Roth can do better..

I agree with you. I was kinda sad when Tris died but I have to admit, I did, and still do, fancy the ending.

I was SUPER mad about Veronica Roth killing off TRIS. Tris. GOD!

This book seemed to not have alot of action or fast- paced things going on. I didn't mind Tris dieing becuase at that point the author didn't give me any reason to care about her. I really think this journey was more about four developing than Tris.

So I am the only person who preferred this book to the first 2 then. I was so relieved to have the narrator voice of Four and not have to only listen to the whiny teenage voice of Tris second guessing herself and all her actions. Plus she got her tragic hero death she had been throwing herself at for so long.

I had the same feelings who could do that to there main character? I knew that the dual perspective was necessary but to me the book was already done then she had to go and make it more depressing.

I liked the first one, Insurgent drove me nuts, and this one was just bad.
Tris's death made me laugh; simply because this whole trilogy is just one martyr after another when you really look at it. Her death didn't surprise me or anything. Her brother annoyed the crap out of me as well.

What really annoyed me though, was the one brother who was presumed dead just shows up out of bloody no where. That was ridiculous and about the time I stopped taking the book seriously.

Couldn't agree more, power read through the first two books and loved it, then practically forced myself through Allegiant only to completely lose interest and drop it before finishing it, 50 pages shy of finish.

I was disappointed because I wanted a happy ending for the couple.

Why would the story drag on and on if Tris lived? You don't need to kill a character to end the story. Just ... end the damn story.

Yes, I was very disappointed. I agree with you.

YES! I was so disappointed in the ending. The ending could've been better because you would think that after all the things that happened in the first two books, Tris and Tobias would finally get each other and forget about the troubles and worries. It was a let down...but it was terrible. Sad, yes. Terrible, no.

Yes, I was very disappointed. But I wasn't that impressed with Insurgent either. Didn't like this trilogy. Tris was annoying. More annoying that Katniss "emotional wreck" Everdeen.

I was disappointed by the plot, but not with Tris dying. This book was actually hard for me to get through to even get to that point. It wasn't up to the same standards as the other books in the series.

Totally HATED the ending. I understand writers wanting a surprise ending, but killing Tris was just awful.

I despised the ending. But I am looking forward to the next books by Ms Roth.

I can agree with you. I did find allegiant a little disappointing! But i still cried when Tris died

I liked the ending;;
It was sad but I realised the story was going to drag on and on if Tris lived.
(although that was going to be interesting, it's going to be boring since it will be Tris and Tobias living in the world we live now.)
