I began reading Veronica Roth's Allegiant this week. It'll be fascinating to find out how Veronica Roth ends the Divergent book series. I have only read the first eight chapters of the book, but have enjoyed reading what I have read. I'm excited to continue reading it throughout the next few weeks.
Allegiant is the final book to the Divergent book series. Veronica Roth ended the book before this one (which was Insurgent) with a lot of suspense at the end. She brings all of that suspense back into the story at the beginning of Allegiant. Evelyn Johnson is Tobias' mother and head leader of the factionless. She has a plan to get rid of factions altogether (with help from the members of the factionless). One main event that just happened in the reading was a riot that happened to show that there should be no more factions. I don't want to spoil this part of the book, but this riot did involve someone destroying the bowls from the Choosing Ceremony to show that they are against the idea of having factions.
One thing in Allegiant that is different from Veronica Roth's first two books in this series is that she uses two character viewpoints (Tobias' perspective and Tris' perspective) throughout this book. I really like that she chose to show two different viewpoints because it can give readers different ideas/predictions of the story that they may not have thought of before. I also think that books with multiple viewpoints are more interesting and fun to read. I look forward to seeing what else happens in the story this week as I continue to read.
I attached a link to the movie trailer for the first book in this series, Divergent.

ReplyDeleteHi Alana! So, I had originally read Allegiant and was heartbroken, however this was because it was so nicely written. Roth does a fabulous job trying to keep you engaged in her writing throughout the story, so I think you will like it at its' finale. I, also, like the fact that we get different perspectives during the story, which allows us to see a fuller, more enhanced picture of what's going on. I hope Roth pulls you into her story, and keeps you not wanting to put the book down.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job writing your blog this week. I have read the book Divergent but never got around to reading the other ones. It sounds like a interesting plot so far. The author did a great job with the first book and I bet the other two are wonderful as well. I can't wait to get to read the next two books and one in a different style of writing. I think it is cool when the authors write in the character perspectives because it gives you a chance to learn the characters though process. Great job on your blog!
