I was much more interested in Tobias. I really wanted to like this series. I loved the idea and concept with being able to choose where they belonged and starting anew, but I just couldn't. Allegiant was unexpected. I know some people who loved the last book and others who hated it. Like I said I give it a 3 but the good news is you get to hear from Tris and Tobias which helped in my case!
did you read "Four" the book she wrote after the orginal 3 books to be based on Tobias view? it is a very good read, and from his perspective!

Then, 70 pages in, I realized I loved it.
The plot was incredible. No other word to describe it. Incredible. In this book we start going a little beyond the factions and exploring the factionless, the world beyond the fence. I love how the villains aren't just randomly shot in this series by the hero/heroine. They are given the depth they deserve and are killed in the right way. Veronica Roth has the patience required to write a book that rarely any other YA author has.
Everyone is bothered by the weakness Tris shows in this book, but I actually liked it. Even the strongest people have their weak spots and vulnerabilities. If she kept being too strong she would become unrelatable and emotionless and everything would be unrealistic.
My only problem with this novel is that Tobias and Tris were turned from the mature couple who talked everything out rationally and never kept any secrets, to the couple present in every YA. Reckless, immature, secretive.
The ending was bold, striking. Of course, I did love Divergent more but I loved this nonetheless.
