Just one simple choice can change the way people perceive you according to the characters in the Divergent world. In the New York Times best-selling series written by Veronica Roth, the book starts off with Tris’s perspective and then in Chapter two, it swaps over to Four’s perspective. This switching of perspectives goes on throughout the entire novel which is different than Divergent and Insurgent because those were just in Tris’s perspective. Allegiant is a science fiction novel, originally published on october 22, 2013,mostly for young adults and completes the Divergent trilogy that began in 2011.

The entire series began with Beatris Prior growing up in the futuristic version of Chicago. Everyone belonged to what they knew as a “faction” that brought peace to the city, as the leaders hypnotized the citizens to believe. With a total of five factions; the brave Dauntless, honest Candor, peaceful Amity, intelligent Erudites, and selfless Abnegation, the ones who tested and failed were called “Divergent”. Tris, who was 100% “Divergent”, was considered a threat to all Faction leaders but wasn’t anymore in Allegiant when the factions broke and uprisings begin.

Evelyn Johnson, the mother of Tris’s boyfriend, Tobias, wants the factions gone while the “Allegiant” group believes the faction system should stay. In between the feuds, an old video of a woman named Edith Prior reappears. “When there are enough ‘Pure’ people in the city, or Divergents,” Edith declares, “a group of them must leave the safety of Chicago’s mile-high tall fences and help the creators outside. The outside world is a total puzzle to all of Chicago as no one has been outside in hundreds of years. One of the most suspenseful parts in the book is when Tris, Tobias, and a group of many others try to climb the wall by using grappling hooks. A new world awaits the group across the fence if they can manage to successfully climb it.  

In a critic review by Common Sense Media claim, “even if you’ve heard spoilers (and we hope you haven’t), the book is still worth reading to see how Roth ties up her loose ends.” This statement really speaks for itself as the book has some exciting twists hidden in the chapters. Veronica Roth has outdone herself with the detail and descriptive words she chose to incorporate. When the book first begins, the change in perspectives doesn’t make sense right away but as the story progresses, the double viewpoints help produce more than one mindthought on the situation. The Divergent trilogy will forever go down in history next to The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and any other young adult fiction series as one of the most action packed, most romantic couple created, and the greatest depth of a plot ever.
