Allegiant

The second two books in this series were so mediocre, I'm left wondering if I was completely wrong for enjoying the first one as much as I did. I think the author had a good idea here, a unique world, and then she had problems making it go anywhere. Plot holes are everywhere, characters' personalities change constantly. This book is written from the point of view of two different characters, but I had to keep going back to the beginning of the chapter to see who was narrating because they both sounded exactly the same. I don't think the author chose this device to give us more insight into the characters–she had to do it to support the ending she chose.

And the ending felt forced and unnecessary. Even one of the characters at the end of the book pretty much called the “shocking” final plot device pointless. She was right.
