Still sobbing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, and I have. The Divergent series is amazing!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tobias, because it's Tobias.

What does Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It's always wonderful to have a male and female narrator for a book. It just gives the story so much more.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Omg are you kidding me? If you read it you would know while I'm still sobbing.

Any additional comments?

Omg the feels!!! Roth, you kicked me right in the feels!! I don't know if I wanna hug you or punch you right now! **sobs uncontrollably**

Great ending to a powerful story

Would you listen to Allegiant again? Why?

Yes, I loved this book. A lot of other reviewers didn't appreciate it but I loved it. It didn't have a happy ending but stuff happens, that's why it's called life. This as the perfect ending to this roller coaster ride. A dip at the end that you just didn't see coming!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My first thought was that I am torn between Trice and Tobias but actually, I think it might be Kara. Throughout the book she has been who she is, no pretense, just Kara. She accepts the good and the bad about herself where some of the other characters are not as self aware.

Have you listened to any of Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What would you do if you found out that everything you thought you knew about life and the world was a lie?

Any additional comments?

Great book. Great series. Can't wait to see the movies. As good as the Hunger Games.

I suspect that I'll be in the minority.

What did you love best about Allegiant?

I love that the story was from the perspective of both Tris and Four. And Emma Galvin continued to knock it out of the park with her reading, while Aaron Stanford was also very good.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that it wasn't what I expected. And it wasn't what I wanted. It just was what it was and closed the story how Verionica Roth wanted to close the story. Deep down, it's about the smae sort of choices that were faced in the first two books.

What does Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think Emma Galvin MADE the first two audiobooks, and she was great here, too. Aaron Stanford was very good, but Ms. Galvin is great for this series.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The epilogue made me weepy.

Any additional comments?

I think that a lot of people aren't going to like the ending, because it's not what they expect or what they want or whatever. But I liked it.

Thrilling All the Way to the End

If you could sum up Allegiant in three words, what would they be?

Thrilling. Heartbreaking. Amazing.

What other book might you compare Allegiant to and why?

The Testing, similar to Allegiant in the sense that it is dystopian environment and a young girl must go through a testing to proceed through to College level.

The Legend Series. Similar series because it is dystopian environment and a young girl is already in the collegiate environment after taking her test at 10 years old. Her path crosses with Day a young criminal of the Republic. The story takes off from there it’s also amazing.

What does Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Amazing performance much better than a few other YA books I've listened too. I really appreciate the heart they put into it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES! I think almost did.

Any additional comments?

So sad its over but happy it happened! READ THIS SERIES!!

Disappointing ending but fantastic until then!

Allegiance, just like the first two books, grabs your attention with heroism, action and a wonderful mix of intertwined chaos between characters. The ending however made you feel like it ended to abruptly and didn't satisfy like the rest of the book.

Surprising close to a great series.

The chapters from 4's POV are very illuminating. Surprising twists to the story. Performed well.

Great series finale

This final book in the series wraps everything up very well. It's very exciting, upsetting, and overall enjoyable. It's hard to say goodby to characters that you have become so attached to, but I guess all things must come to an end. And the narration was great.

More than I bargained for...

What did you like best about this story?

Book 3 goes much deeper into a world I thought I understood. Roth reveals a great truth about life; that despite all that we may know, our external and internal worlds are so much deeper and complex than we can imagine.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The story is really easy to get pulled into and there were times when I would find myself listening for hours at a time - then there are those chapters that demanded I stop and digest all that was happening.

Any additional comments?

Don't be put off by some of the negative reviews. Roth has delivered a cohesive and well written trilogy, in which she bravely allows her characters to develop and realize their full potential.

story line needed something.

I was hoping for a little something different. overall a good book. maybe needs another book to end the series.

Not the ending I wanted 😢

All I could do was cry for the last few chapters!!! While a good story, it's one that just kills me to listen to.
