Allegiant.The other side.

It was an amazing experience to read the Divergent Series.

Divergent fascinated me, Insurgent kept me so tensed that I felt my blood running through my veins. But, oh my God, Allegiant shocked me (in Romanian, Allegiant is translated as Experiment).

Title: Allegiant

Author: Veronica Roth

Published by Leda

Allegiant is the third volume from this fantasy series. The story is told from a dual perspective and has an astonishing force to catch the reader’s attention. This book made me feel so confused. My feelings were in such contradiction after I finished it, that the only thing I was capable was to lie in bed, with my eyes wide open, staring at my ceiling (you know when a cat stares at the walls, and you think there is a ghost or something but you can’t see it?! Creepy, huh?!). I felt so much anger, pity, fury, fear, love… I lived in this story with Tris and Tobias. Every moment I felt like I was next to them. Not many writers are capable of the magic Veronica Roth is.

I have to admit that the first part of the book wasn’t too stimulative, but after I started reading the second half, things got a turn I never expected.

If Insurgent has ended when Tris, Tobias and other friends of them left the destroyed society they had been living in, Allegiant shows the adventurers seeking the truth, outside Chicago. They all hoped for a better life, but what they discovered on the other side has changed them forever. They found out that the government thought that the problems of the society were caused by bad genes. Therefore, they tried to modify the people’s genes, but the results were catastrophic. Wanting to repair the mistakes, they tried to create and raise enough Divergents to fix the genetic disaster.

It sounds good to create a new world, in order to change the society into something better. But there were still many secrets to be discovered. That’s why Tris, Tobias and their friends conceived a plan to save their city. Unfortunately, the plan never works as it should…

I don’t want to tell you the hole story, nor give you too many details. I want you to read this book. Veronica Roth took my breath away. After that, I was so enraged, like a black panther in a cage. I wished I had never read these books. But then I calmed down, and I realized what a tremendous story I had lived while reading these volumes. Allegiant is about truth, forgiveness and love. I didn’t wanted this story to end. NEVER! But I came to an end and I closed the book. Emptiness surrounded me and then, I saw Four laying next to me in bed (not the character, sadly, but the volume). And Four was my salvation. I will write a short review about this one, too.

But for now… `I feel like I have lost control of what I have become`. (Veronica Roth)
