Allegiant

Divergent Trilogy, Book 3

By: Veronica Roth

Narrated by: Emma Galvin, Aaron Stanford

The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent series of books reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that captivated millions of readers and film fans in Divergent and Insurgent.

One choice will define you. What if your whole world was a lie? What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything? What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

Told from a riveting dual perspective, this third installment in the series follows Tris and Tobias as they battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and their selves—while facing impossible choices of courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

And don't miss The Fates Divide, Veronica Roth's powerful sequel to the bestselling Carve the Mark!

Takes us in a different direction than anticipated

Allegiant concludes the trilogy about a girl who made changes - changes to herself. her family, and the world she inhabits. Those who are giving poor ratings are likely looking for popcorn ending and complaining when the get a steak dinner. It is worthy of the investment to read Allegiant even though the conclusion is not what most readers likely expect. I hope it is the story Ms. Roth wanted to tell because she did so with style and dignity for Tris Pryor - putting Tris's story above easy fortune.

Great stories and characters challenge us to be better than we currently are. They should force us to realize time is short and heroes are few. The story of Tris Pryor should get us to question the changes going on us and, more importantly, the lack of change heading towards the better. Tris stands for questioning and acting against the status quo. Tris is a hero, even before the start of Allegiant. Although she may not 'officially' be thought of as one at the end, the change she brings forth is indeed heroic in so many unstated ways. Take time to think about the story beyond the words on the page. Contemplate what this diminutive teenage character accomplishes from the time she walks home from school wondering which faction to choose until the final confrontation with David in the laboratory. Recognize Tris's sacrifices for people who knew her and the thousands of others who never had that privilege. Let go of your on selfish expectation and see the change in you the author is trying to develop today, so that a Tris in the future doesn't have to end like the one in Allegiant.

Expect to be moved by Allegiant instead of handed another formulaic and marketable conclusion. Congratulations Ms. Roth, for choosing to be Divergent. Emma Galvin will forever be the voice of Tris Pryor - an accomplishment for which she should be proud.

Very disappointed. Didn't want to finish it

Would you try another book from Veronica Roth and/or Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford ?

Yes

Has Allegiant turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What about Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford ’s performance did you like?

Very good narrators. I will not hesitate to listen to them in the future.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Not a all. I am not going to see the movie on the first book now.

Any additional comments?

While reading the first two books I was singing the praises of the books and author. I was amazed that such a young author wrote about such a complex world so well. Halfway through the third book, I was glad that Audible gave refunds. It was as if Ms Roth had taken an upper level writing class and turned this in for her final exam. She has a lot of potential and I do hope she doesn't give up.

Felt like I was reading a rough draft.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The first two books were great. This book did not have the character development the prior books had. This book seemed hurried and unfocused.

Wonderful end to Divergent Series

What did you love best about Allegiant?

Veronica stayed true to the characters. As tragic as it is to lose some of them, not every story can have a happy ending. I think this series came full circle, and I'm OK with how it ended. I especially love the Epilogue.

What did you like best about this story?

I love that we were able to see the main characters grow. They learned from their experiences, much like in real life. This book felt the most real to me of the three. They all tug on my heart strings, but this one really reeled me in.

What about Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford ’s performance did you like?

They are Tris and Tobias. That's it... They brought them to life so perfectly. It will be strange to hear other voices reciting their lines in the film adaptation.

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

I think the chosen tag line for the book is perfect. One Choice Will Define You.

Any additional comments?

Thank you Veronica Roth for this wonderful series. It is by far one of the best I have ever read. I look forward to reading them over and over, along with anything else you pen in the future. You are brilliant.
