Book Review: Allegiant - Veronica Roth

Over all, it was an entertaining enough series...though if I'd actually tried to read it, rather than listen to the audiobook, I don't know if I would've continued it beyond the first book. I don't know, the whole concept about damaged genes versus pure genes....just not appealing. As I said after reading the first book, I'll still watch the movie. Who knows, the story may come across better in that medium.

But honestly, this is one of those series/books that, looking back, wouldn't have mattered if I'd ever gotten to it or not. I have a long, long list of books to read and I'm sure there are plenty on there that I would've enjoyed more than this. 

Overall thought on the series - Meh, it was ok. If she writes any other novels, I'm willing to give them a try.

From the GoodReads website: "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?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent."
