Divergent Series: Review

Lately, because it's been holidays, I have been reading quite a lot. My friend suggested I read this Divergent series, and I am so glad that I did. I enjoyed these books so much, it literally took me four days to read all of them. Note: I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum!

Title: Divergent (1), Insurgent (2), Allegiant (3)

Author: Veronica Roth

Genre: Dystopia

Divergent

As the first book of the series, Veronica Roth created an excellent setting and history. It made me feel very connected to the world that the main character, Tris, was in. The storyline of this book is amazing and I felt that there was always something happening, so it wasn't boring at all. If you like books that are a little bit scary or creepy then I'm sure you will like this as there is quite a lot of guns and violence and what-not. The way that the book was written was extremely captivating and it was really good being able to see Tris grow and change and discover her own history. This book was my favourite of the whole series and I would give it a 10/10. There is actually nothing I would fault about this book!

Insurgent

In this book you are taken away from the scenery of the first book and get to explore the city more. It is much more about the city and other people rather than focusing on Tris. It starts and finishes in a very good place and starts to explore more about history of the city and some unknown secrets. I really liked this book as well, it wasn't quite as inventive as the first one but it is still an amazing book, so I will give it a 9/10. 

Allegiant

This book was very different from the first two as it takes place in a different setting and strays even further from the development of Tris as a character, as it is told from the view of Four as well. This book contains many shocking twists and turns, and I felt that some of them were very unnecessary. I think that Veronica Roth had a lot of choice and could take this book in many directions as the last of a trilogy, but unfortunately it fell short of what I was expecting. With so many fans of this series, she had a lot of pressure to produce a great 3rd book, but this one just wasn't as good as it could be. I'm giving this book a 7/10.

Overall, this was a fantastic series that a really enjoyed reading, even if the last book was a bit shocking and controversial. This is now one of my favourite series, and I'm sure I will read it again in the future!
