Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A powerful, thought-provoking conclusion that challenges notions of identity, sacrifice, and the cost of freedom.

Synopsis

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered - fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories. But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningliess. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend to complexities of human nature - and of herself - while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love. Told from a riveting dual perspective, ALLEGIANT, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the DIVERGENT series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in DIVERGENT and INSURGENT.

At a Glance

The most divisive finale in YA history, and Veronica Roth knew exactly what she was doing. Allegiant breaks the genre contract on purpose—it insists that some stories don't end the way we need them to, and that the point was never the destination anyway. You will be upset. That's the whole idea. Come back to it a few years after your first read and it hits completely differently.
