Amber Lea’s Reviews > Allegiant > Status Update

Ah, yep. That's what all those angry reviews were about.

God, when she uses big vocabulary words it's always so awkward. It's like when a sixth grader wants to sound smart so they whip out a thesaurus to change a few words. Like...well technically you can use that word...but there are at least three better words you could have used.

Also, did anyone proof read this thing? Seriously. It feels more like a writing exercise than a book.

"Cara communicates only through a series of grunts, inching her way, limb by limb, toward coffee."

I take it back. It is quotable.

So far I'm disappointed with what's outside the city...not because it's terrible...but I was hoping she'd suddenly become an amazing writer and there'd be a mind blowing plot twist. (Honestly, I was hoping for some walking dead/revolution type-shit from back before those shows really started to suck.)

Tris and Tobias have the exact. same. voice.

She's a terrible writer. Like, truly bad. She never says anything in a way that leaves you thinking, "Wow, that was well said."

Her imagery falls flat and sometimes she stretches words beyond their meaning in an attempt to say something in a new way. But instead of being original it just makes it seem like she doesn't know the meaning of basic as fuck words.

God, I forgot the writing was this bad.

She recaps really awkwardly in the beginning, which is painful, but it's great because I can't remember most of what happened in book 2.

And hey, she switches POVs in book 3 like I wanted her to in the last two books! Awesome! Except not awesome because apparently all Tobias can think about is holding hands.

I'm going to regret this.
