I cannot tell you how excited I was about Allegiant’s release. I’ve been a huge fan of the Divergent series and I couldn’t wait for the final book. I waited and waited and waited.
But then when the book came out, I wouldn’t read it.
I read a few pages and I kept putting it down. I am not sure what was going on but I just couldn’t get into it. The reviews were bad, too, which made me sad. I think it was that I didn’t want my favorite story to be ruined.
When I finally sat down to really read it, I ended up leaving it with mixed emotions. I won’t say I hated it because I really still love this story. I love Veronica Roth’s writing, characters and plot. Even though it wasn’t my favorite of the three, I still love this whole series.
I completely know what you mean. I too, enjoyed the first two books of the series, but I just couldn’t get into this third book. I’m only 30 minutes in (I got the audiobook version) and I’ve bought the book months ago. Of course it doesn’t help that the female reader for the audiobook has managed to slowly annoy the crap out of me through the series…
I agree with your thoughts on this book. I loved the first book so much, in fact I think your review of it got me into the story, but the last didn’t live up to the first two at all. I found the way she took the story really interesting but no not a fav.
