Allegiant's Out

[scribblemyname]

And let's face it: usually I don't mind spoilers. After Insurgent, I did want to see what I was getting into. I'm glad I did. I'm going to wait until lithiumlaughter or in_the_blue share what they thought, because I have a real problem with logic issues (read: HUGE problem) and I'm on the fence with whether I'll take the finale very well.

The Four narration is actually pretty interesting. It's a little bit of a shift from the previous two books and their being narrated exclusively by Tris, which made me blink a little to start. It was actually a neat choice on Roth's part. It makes sense, given the story itself, but I digress.

See, in terms of logic, I'm not always that hard to please. I can have a very forgiving willing suspension of disbelief. The logic is a little odd at times, yes, and I did look sideways at a little of it, but for the most part I could let it go. Different world, different rules, and I'm okay with giving it some slack and an understanding handwave. I'm not saying that I completely and totally bought in, but I got *where* Roth was going and 90% of the time *why* she was headed there.

"Divergent" will obviously always be the best of the bunch. Always and forever and I'm totally going to go watch the trailer for the movie now and maybe do a "Divergent" reread...
Don't count "Allegient" out though. It does do some things very well, and the ending hits hard right in the squishy bits.

Okay. I've got a so-so rating from both buddies, but read it anyway. So I will. I'm pretty sure. After November.
