Allegiant Book Summary and Review

 Spoilers of Divergent and Insurgent


Tris is placed on trial with the truth serum after she revealed that there was something more outside their world. She resists the serum enough to free herself, Christina, and Cara. They face the struggles of Evelyn’s strict hand controlling all the factioned people, and the fighting that goes on among the groups Eventually, a rebelling group called the Allegiants contact Tris and her friends, and they form a plan to send a group outside to help them. Tris’ group discovers the truth about their city, and that the world is not as small as they had once thought it was. They learn about the history that resulted in these experiments, as well as the belief that non-divergents are inferior. 

Tobias struggles especially with this discovery, but Tris doesn’t believe so at all. They form plans of revolution against these ideas, though independently at first, causing some strong disagreements between the two. Eventually they work it out and create a plan with their group, but this plan doesn’t work without a great sacrifice. 


This book switches to dual perspectives between Tris and Tobias.


There is a joke about protection made by Tobias. There is a lot of cuddling and kissing and one scene where they sort of undress? At least to underwear? I don’t know, it was unclear, but some of the fanbases think they had sex, I didn’t though. Also, they recalled to the touch-stomach-training-scene from Divergent while teaching/practicing knife throwing. 


Personal Opinions: Still not a fan of the romance, but it was easier to ignore in this book because it wasn’t as mixed into everything. I thought the insight into Tobias’ behavior was really cool, it made him seem more human and less of the grown-up. I liked how Tris stood up for herself more in this book, and how Tobias’ POV really provides more insight on his motivations. I thought the solution at the end wasn’t very good though, but it still worked out. Overall was my favorite of the trilogy, the epilogue killed me, but I did have it spoiled. I actually loved the ending, contrary to popular opinions. I thought it was the only acceptable option and made sense with everything going on. Actually loved this type of ending so much I’ll be looking for novels with similar endings.

Hi! My name is Jolene and this is my blog! I love books but have trouble finding ones that I like. So, this summer I've decided to set the goal of reading about ten books. Some that I feel are in my comfort zone and some that are a bit "out-there". The genre that I usually like to stick to is fantasy, recommended for 13+ readers (like Lunar Chronicles). I will also post a few short stories every now and then too, for the fun of it. This blog is made not only for my reading journey, but for yours too! Maybe you're having the same problem as me and this blog will be helpful! I'll try to post at least once a month, but ideally two-to-three (I'm a bit busy this summer). Happy reading!

Keepers of the Lost Cities 9.5: Unraveled

I have been a KotLC fan for three years, and this book release I actually made a lot of the food from the series! (Also, I’m not a shipper if anything seems off compared to normal opinions) It was a bit disappointing getting another 0.5 book instead of the anticipated book 10, but Shannon Messenger made up for it with the explanation page, as well as the new information! Readers explore Keefe’s journey in discovering his new ability, “Humanland,” and his search for answers about Ethan Benedict Wright II and his daughter, Eleanor Olivia Wright. He makes similar discoveries as Sophie does in Stellarlune about “rocks.” Keefe meets someone familiar who assists in his journey and discovers a secret about a person he’d known for a really long time. He has secrets he doesn’t plan on sharing, promises he’s made.  If I write any more I might spoil it! Though I really want to share more, I’ll spare you. Just so you know, Shannon did rewrite Chapter 42 in Keefe’s perspective, though none of ...
