Matt Cengia reviewed Allegiant by Veronica Roth
Entertaining, but not fantastic
3 stars
Content warning Minor ending spoilers for Allegiant, by Veronica Roth
I listened to the audiobooks of this series because I'd watched the movies, only to find that Allegiant movie is only part 1 of 2, and that part 2 never got made, so I was left wondering how it ended.
Having finished the book, and found (unsurprisingly) that the story is a little different from the movies, and that the ending was… bittersweet, I think it's fair to say that while I would've been frustrated continuing to wonder at the ending, it's certainly not the most satisfying!
This series is quite obviously targeting young adults; much of the language is fairly simple (there are so many different words for "they said", but Roth doesn't take many opportunities to use them), but I didn't mind it. What can I say, I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction.
