Just like Insurgent, I don't think this book is absolutely horrendous, but it's still pretty bad overall. It has so many problems it's hard to even remember them all. However, there were some parts that I thought were genuinely good scattered throughout this book. They are pretty few and far in between, but they are still there. Everyone's already talked about how the world-building completely falls apart in this book, and I agree. The venture into the outside world actually makes the world feel smaller and less important than it already is. We learn practically nothing about what's happening outside the United States. Heck, we don't even learn much about what's going on in the United States either! All we learn is that a tiny section of the government (called the Bureau) is involved in solving genetic damage by placing people in various cities in the United States as experiments. That's it. Not only is this an extremely disappointing reveal due to how dumb and anticlimactic it is, but it makes the United States seem like it barely has any order to it all. To me, it always seemed like the people in the Bureau were just fucking around, enjoying life while the rest of the world suffers. They're not doing jack shit in the grand scheme of things, when you really think about it. They're just... there. Who's in charge of these idiots? What is this world, dude? It feels like it barely has any order to it. That's just how I personally feel about it. If you disagree, that's fine. Another thing I dislike about this book (as well as the whole franchise in general) is the amount of characters introduced. Good lord. The amount of main/side characters who are at least somewhat important to the plot is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but you can't expect me to give two shits about even 50% of these guys when I know next to nothing about them. They keep getting introduced left and right, and they leave no impression on me. They're so unbelievably bland and uninteresting. I also thought the resolution to the story was extremely underwhelming and not thorough in the slightest. Basically, Tris and the other protagonists find out that the Bureau is planning on resetting the experiments by wiping the people's memories clean in order to keep them in order. Because of that, the protagonists decide to reset EVERYONE'S memory in the Bureau apart from a couple guys who will teach them basic history and remove their prejudice against genetically damaged people. This brings me back to my point about how small this world is. If only a handful of people can control the knowledge of an entire government agency without the government noticing or without much rebellion, then this world ends up feeling even less exciting. Also, the rebellion of the protagonists against the Bureau goes on WAY too smoothly. Like, these guys are sneaking around the Bureau, getting their hands on various tools, weapons, and serums without anyone noticing. Again, what the fuck is the Bureau doing? Why do they not have stricter security, especially knowing the fucked up propaganda they spew about a vast portion of the people working for them (the genetically damaged)? As I mentioned earlier, there were some moments throughout this book that did make feel something, and I thought Tris's sacrifice in the end was a pretty good way for her character to go out, but none of that alleviates the emptiness I feel when I read this book. I don't get excited or enthralled by the world, the characters, the storyline, or the lore. It's just... meh. That's the best way I can really describe this whole series. It's not abysmally awful, but it doesn't really do anything for me. Ingår i serienDivergent (3) PriserPrestigefyllda urvalUppmärksammade listor
Finalen i Divergent-trilogin: Nu på bio och över 19 miljoner sålda exemplar världen över! Tänk om hela din värld var en lögn. Tänk om ett enda avslöjande eller ett enda val förändrade allt. Tänk om kärlek och lojalitet fick dig att göra saker som du inte trodde var möjliga Det falangbaserade samhälle som Tris Prior en gång trodde på är splittrat av våld och maktkamper, ärrat av svek och förluster. Så när hon får chansen att utforska en värld bortom den hon hittills känt, är Tris redo. Kanske kan hon och Tobias bygga ett nytt och enklare liv tillsammans bortom stängslet, ett liv fritt från komplicerade lögner, hoptrasslade lojaliteter och plågsamma minnen. Men Tris nya verklighet är ännu mer skrämmande än den hon lämnat bakom sig. Gamla sanningar förlorar snart sin mening, och nya omskakande insikter förändrar människorna hon älskar. Och än en gång måste Tris kämpa med att försöka förstå den mänskliga naturens komplexitet och sin egen samtidigt som hon ställs inför svåra val i fråga om mod, lojalitet, uppoffring och kärlek. VERONICA ROTH föddes 1988 i en förort till Chicago. Medan hon studerade på Northwestern University började hon skriva på sin dystopiska science fiction-trilogi, varav de två första delarna, Divergent och Insurgent, snart blev enorma försäljningssuccéer. Våren 2014 hade filmversionen av Divergent, med bland annat Shailene Woodley och Kate Winslet i rollerna, premiär. Allegiant är den tredje och avslutande delen i trilogin, som hittills sålt i över 19 miljoner exemplar världen över. [Publit] Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

What a disappointment. Again...
I wanted to read Allegiant to give Veronica Roth one last chance to redeem herself after Insurgent underwhelmed me. I enjoyed Divergent, so what happened, and how did she come to this point? I picked it up and glanced at the blurb, making it seem intriguing, but when I closed the final page, I didn't enjoy it.
