Allegiant

Allegiant

*Spoiler Alert*

In Allegiant, I am at the point where Tris and her group have escaped the city and found the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. Tris has just discovered new information that pertains to her mother which is extremely shocking, and I did not see it coming. I was definitely surprised when the author, tied in Tris' mother, and the secrecy behind her life and where she truly came from. I feel as though I have not yet reached the climax of the book which I know will follow shortly. So far, I feel that the book is not as captivating as the first two books have been. I also like how the author, tried a new angle and tried a different style of writing; dual perspectives. But, I feel that the aspect of knowing what Tobias/Four thinks all the time takes away his mysteriousness. I am not saying that from a women's perspective of favoring leading ladies, but simply as a reader and a fan of the series. I do enjoy how, we get to know more about Tris' mother and her impact on the world Tris grew up in. I'd say the theme is from where I am in the book is, new discoveries may lead to a journey one may seek out. I say this because Tris is in a difficult position in her life. She is still getting over her brother's betrayal and the findings of her mother's outside life and the lies she told to "protect" her. I predict that Tris will, go out and do something reckless as she normally does, and try and find even more information about her mother. So far, I would say the book is decent it does not grasp my attention as much as the other books did. But, it is still an amazing book that I think many people should read. Also, I feel like there is a common theme with author's writing a last book in a series which I found was evident in the Hunger Games series how the last book, Mockingjay was not nearly as good as the others. I believe it is because throughout the whole book, it is just a conclusion wrapping up the series and nothing new is really introduced and nothing drastic normally occurs.
