Oh, Allegiant. Why?
I'm just going to flat out say it. Unlike most people, I didn't hate the ending. Actually, I though the ending was the best part of the whole book. It was beautiful, well made and it had the original idea of what Divergent used to be (for me, anyway).
Once I finished reading this, I was quite sad about that ending. I felt hollow inside, because, goddammit, it's horrible. Once I reread it, I was able to look at it from another angle, and realize that I loved that ending.
And also, most importantly, most of the problems I had with this book, were because of Insurgent. As in, all the things that were happening, had a reason, and that reason happened in Insurgent. And I hate Insurgent. But the book itself had problems all the same.
The whole book was pretty boring since the beginning. And when things did actually happen, in which one would think it'd be huge and complicated...it lasted for about 3 chapters, or less.
The whole theme about how this was all just an experiment that the government decided to do, to see if it worked, you know, just playing around, and then it didn't work, things that happen all the time, so they just tried to fix it by more experiment, and just controlling everybody like a puppetNO. NO, NO, NO AND NO.
Ok, so, I can understand a government who manipulates people as they please, but they always do it secretly and with some sort of decency. They just don't flat out go and do it. They always have some cover or something, and they never go as far as that. So, no, it's not logical, not even close, ok? I hate this concept. It's not complete. It's not done well, it's like she just wrote it out just to get rid of that part and move on. Well, guess what? NO.
Another thing that annoyed me was how stupid were Tobias and Tris' fights. Like, come on. Tobias going to Nita so blindly just because she's “like him” with all the damaged genes stuff. And then Tris trying to convince Tobias that Nita wasn't good because she was jealous of her and she though it was wrong. Like, bitch, I wouldn't trust you either if you just told “Don't”. Ugh!And something that got me completely screaming with frustration was just how much I hated Tobais in Allegiant. When things where happening and he just froze like “What do I do, do I go or not? Is it right or wrong?” BITCH, YOU'RE DAUNTLESS. AND NOT JUST ANY DAUNTLESS. YOU'RE FOUR. And for what I've learned in this whole series is that Tobias doesn't freeze for stupid things. And that's exactly what he did here.When Nina's attack plan is on track, I swear it only last about two chapters. Like, no, it was supposed to last at least seven and be epic, not such a failure. Agh, i can't deal.Then we have Tris. Since the moment Tobias told Tris letting a person die for you because he loves you it's a true act of selflessness, I knew. Immediately. She was going to sacrifice herself for Caleb. Fuck. Me.Here is when Insurgent enters. Caleb is an idiot, and I've hated him through all the books. In Insurgent, I wanted him death. But he didn't die. And then he expects to be forgiven, with such stupid reasons. I literally can not deal with him. And then Tris decided to die for him.Ok, it actually made sense. And it's a really good idea. And I love the whole thing. I really do. What bothers me is the reason. Caleb wasn't worth it. If maybe Caleb hadn't done such stupid things back in Insurgent, I would have accepted this. Or maybe even if he had shown some kind of real remorse for what he did, I would have forgiven him. It was that easy. But he just has so little character development, that he didn't. And that's what pisses me off about the ending. Not the fact that she died, but the fact that it was for Caleb.sigh. Moving on.I though the ending after Tris dies was really stupid. Not Tobias parts, but the background. It was just so simple how things turned out. So stupidly simple. I can't deal. Like, the government completely ignored them and moved on. And they got their “happy ending”. And I was like, that's it, really, that's all you had to do. I could have done that in my sleep. (ok, no, but you know what I mean).I found completely unnecessary Uriah's death. It had no reason to be. And specially in such a horrible way. It's ridiculous.I did like those few last chapters, they were perfect for the ending. It was pretty sad, did not cry, as always, but it did left a hollow feeling in my chest. For a while.Another thing I didn't like was the whole Tobias/Evelyn relationship. I mean, the author never got to something complete. She never let us know what that whole thing was about. There were this mixed signals that never got to anything. I'm just so annoyed by it. And at the end, she's good, but not as good. waaa...The book was really boring. Just a big pile of nothing and unfinished business. It was pretty much plot less. I don't even know what happened in between.I could go on and on, but I'm just getting tired of this, I think I've proved my point.In general, I have it at 3,5 out of five because I'm just that generous, and because of that ending. That's it.If you did enjoy it, please let me know what did you saw in it that made it good to you, because I'm clueless.
