"I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me. I stay with him because I chose to, everyday that I wake up, that we fight or lie to or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me." ALLEGIANT, page 372
It hurts even more when you imagine Tobias marrying another girl and having children and living happily ever after without Tris. The thought, it's horrible 😭
I read a wattpad fanfic the other day, called, 'Four Letters' and it was 'Four Letters' that Tobias wrote to Tris after her death. They were all years after her death, and years apart from each other. In the first letter, Tobias drops the big bomb, 'I'm getting married'. When I read those words, I cried a river. Then in the next one he says how his wife is pregnant. UGHHHHHH
nothing and no death in allegiant made me as sorrow as Tobias's loss did. maybe I would have cried more if Tris' s death hadn't been spoiled for me but the things Tobias said made me sob. unlike Tris he only found one person who loved him in his life. remember when he fantasized a life with Tris just before he left to Chicago. remember what he said " just one more kiss. one more glance, one more" it's been an year since I read this book, but I'm tearing up again. when you die the pains over you're at piece. it's harder to live with pain.
I was so sad when Tris died. It was about one or two months ago and I'm still balling out my eyes. I feel like I made a connection with Tris and when she died I felt like I died. We will always love you Tris. :'(
I died when u said, "People of the Divergent fandom, we can be mended. We mend each other." *Pumps fist in the air* Allegiant was so amazing and I'm so excited to see Allegiant in the cinemas. I think u and me will cry the most out of everyone in the entire fandom. Haha. *sob*
Is it just me, or is anyone else happy that Four isn't Divergent and he did act like a teenage girl? It shows that Four DOES have FLAWS. He's not just some perfect, hot, perfect, badass, perfect, Divergent guy. Four is human and does have flaws like everyone else.
omg you made me cry. I felt the same thing, she's my favourite character, she was brave, she was a very strong woman. Even thou Veronica broke my heart into a million pieces, and I also wanted to see her in the future with kids and Tobias, the final was perfect. And I loved it and it was amazing, and I don't think that Allegiant could have another amazing ending like that one. Still, I think why Tris? WHY? But I said is perfect because she didn't die in vain, she sacrificed for the people she loved. That is the perfect ending.
Tris didn't deserve to die. She has gone through so much. From the first stage of initition to being betrayed by Caleb and grief over several closest friend's deaths including Will. But of course we could see it coming. There was no point in dying at the erudite headquarters of guilt. But it felt right that she (SPOILERS) was shot by David. This is what makes the book so moving and powerful. Of course I loved allegiant. Ever since I can't stop reading the divergent series.
The sad part? I thought it was just a hallucination, I had to actually see her in the hospital bed, dead through Tobias's view before I cried. Tris Prior was my favorite character, I will never forget how amazing this series was.
I just finished reading the alegiant. ... I'm sobbing so hard. . I'm very sad but I also think that Tris ist the bravest caracter that I read in my life. Was normal for her to make that choice. She is so brave. Love her forever.
Tris said she would always be there for Christina :'( and I felt really bad for Tobias I think it would have hurt a little less if she had died from the death stuff
I feel you :'(( That day my tear was running so hard, like uncontrollably that my parents thought I had done sth too guitly, sort of killing someone :" And then when they figured it out I was crying for Tris, they were mocking me :'( Like I was crazy, insane or sth like that :"> I was crying all the way from school back home and the next school day :( I am still not ready to reread Insurgent so I went after your preview of Four: A divergent collection :'( I hope I will get better then :'( I can hardly bear any thought about TrisFour and Tris's death since then P/s thank you so much for speaking out what I tried to say :'> Love your voice and your passion for the books
I know what you mean and it’s so hard thought to explain to people who aren’t book readers what you are feeling I haven’t actually read the whole book a Legion I just saw the parts of it and look things up on the Internet and I sobbed when I had about the bit where Chris dies and I just spent the whole day listening to love songs and at that point I just wish I could be there for Tobias
I felt the same when tris died too. I had got so frigging attatched to her and I fell in love with her character. When she dies it broke my heart. I must of cried for at least 2 hours and every time someone talked about divergent, insurgent allegiant or tris i would just start crying all over again. We are in the same boat sophia! :-(
+FreyFreys Bookies two people in my life died lately and i dint cry . when tris died i cry for days i messed up so i made a choice to write my own ending picking up on chapter 50 ( tris lives in my ending ) anyone one who wants a copy can have one ( it will not be ready for two - three weeks ) but your more then welcome to a copy .no more crying for me
I was so mad ughadkls;fjad;klf Tris is so amazing. She's one of my favorite characters of all time. I was so sad when she died :( She SURVIVES THE DEATH SERUM! Like, it was amazing! And then she had to get shot by some character that no one even cared about it? UGH UGH UGH UGH :(
+theatergirl713 two people in my life died lately and i dint cry . when tris died i cry for days i messed up so i made a choice to write my own ending picking up on chapter 50 ( tris lives in my ending ) anyone one who wants a copy can have one ( it will not be ready for two - three weeks ) but your more then welcome to a copy .no more crying for me
You made me cry all over again. All of us Divergent fans need to just have a huge group hug. I cried tons and my heart aches every time I think about it. I have to repeat over and over in my mind that Tris is dead hoping that the pain will go away once I get used to it but there is no way.
I agree with u one hundred percent. This was my favorite series out of all of them, including the hunger games, and triss was by far my fav character even out of background characters PLUS normal characters...and then she died...and...i just keep hoping that im dreaming. But. Im not. And tris is dead. And uriah is dead. And tori is dead. And will is dead. And marlene is dead. EVERYONE I LOVED IS DEAD. I cried so hard. You have NO IDEA
I just finished reading the book like an hour ago and it broke me into pieces. I felt the exact same way about almost everything you said and wanted to high-five you like million times. I really enjoyed this video and I can't imagine myself reading the first two books without thinking the whole time, that Tris dies. It will forever haunt me. When my sister is old enough I will give them to her to read and see what she thinks about them and maybe - even if our age gap is 17, 5 years - we will cry the same way I cried after I found out Tris had died. Also I feel like Veronica has left behind such a good legacy, I mean if you read it, you are actually learning new things about yourself and others around you. I felt like it was a real journey and that it had to end like this at some point :( Tris is such a good role model and I will forever think, what would Tris do.
...my first "saga" read. I really liked it and I cried like a baby during Allegiant, but I really mostly cried over the memories that Tobias had of Tris, and when he went to the zip line for her. My favorite character would probably be him, he was just really sweet and him not being divergent, but still beating as strong as one amazes me. I loved how in the beginning he wanted to be different by having all the values.
I think the reason why Veronica made Tris die is because it shows people that everyone doesn't get a happy ending, people can lose one another, and we need to let that person go no matter how hard it is
I'm just a wayward reader still grieving after Allegiant. I needed other people to confirm that my tears aren't ridiculous. That missing Tris like she was a real life person isn't weird. And maybe that's wrong but yeah, your review has helped. I finished the book today and I am currently in denial. I thought she'd survive. Even when I knew she'd sacrifice herself rather than her brother. And I did! I knew as soon as the plans came together and Caleb offered himself up like some lamb to slaughter all doe-eyed and guilty looking. I knew Tris wouldn't allow that even if she still held those shards of resentment for his betrayal - which I was disappointed with, that it wasn't explained, all we got was 'Jeanine Matthews is a very persuasive person'. Oh yeah, Caleb?! WHAT DID SHE SAY? - I wished he'd spoken more about it, I wish we'd gotten more from him. Turns out I'm not quite as forgiving as Tris was but then again, Caleb the Betrayer wasn't my brother. But yeah, I knew she'd put herself in his place but I had such faith! I knew she'd fight the Death Serum and she did and she got so close and I kept expecting her to survive. To be reunited with Tobias after he returned from the city a new man. This is Beatrice Prior. Abnegation. Erudite. Dauntless. Divergent. And so much more. I thought she was untouchable. I didn't think she was capable of dying so when she did, it was shocking. It shook me to my core and then spat me on the ground. And I didn't quite grasp that she was dead until it came from Cara's mouth as she told Tobias and I had to flip back and reread. And even then I still held this little spark of hope that she'd wake up. It became abundantly clear this wasn't the case when Tobias and Christina were shown her body. Her cold, dead body. And I had to put the book down for a second, my heart was hurting my throat was tight, ugly crying the hell out of myself and that sliver of hope was crushed under many layers of surmounting grief. Annnnd now I'm crying again. To conclude this weird comment I'll say that chances are I won't be rereading Divergent for a bit. It hurts to think about naive little Beatrice with her long hair and her desperate desire to find a niche that fitted her just right. I couldn't reread her jumping from the train and then the building, strong and stubborn. Her pride and her brief moments of joy. Or when she tried her first hamburger and know that in what I think is less than a year... she'll be dead. I'm gonna miss her with my whole heart, which is currently covered in cracks from her loss. But I don't hate Veronica for it, I just wanna beg her to rewrite it for my petty little broken heart. Lovely review and MAN you have A LOT of books. Status on buckets of tears shed: There Aren't Enough Buckets. Ever
Four was kinda whiny once we got into his head, but I still thought it was an interesting perspective. Veronica Roth has a lot of big themes in this including Tris being selfless (despite choosing against Abnegation in the ceremony). I also reviewed this book!
"Tris, where did you get a sense of humor?" lmao. You crack me up c: Tris dying was so sad. I was hoping for my happy ending with her and Tobias and them having kids! But no... Still love the book.
My teacher when I was reading the book told me something big would happen in the end but she wouldn’t tell me what, I read the book in about three days because I had to take breaks but when I read her death I cried so much and then I kept reading and read Uriah’s death and I cried more and then I read how Tobias wanted to erase Tris from his memory. After reading the book I then called my friend and read her the parts where I cried and she didn’t get why I was so sad. Now I go back and read her death whenever I feel sad or I need to cry but can’t let it out on my own. The series was amazing and I really never want to even think about what Tobias does years later.
I wonder how long it will take until my chest doesn't feel heavy anymore. How can veronica live with the fact she killed tris? How am i supposed to watch the movie without bursting into tears everytime i see tris or tobias. ..
Idk man, i loved christina until she tried "to force" Tobias to move on and throwing herself on him.... I feel like tris died AND THAT'S ALL, She didn't even take credits for stoping david's plan... And than people sart to talk about moving on like if she was never among them..... Wtf.... It hurts so bad..... Made me think human's life is worth nothing as we die and be forgotten eventually....... To be forgotten is smth AL WOULD want, but not Tris..... How can they fall in love with each other.... That makes me feel betrayed on Tris's behalf, and make me wish Tobias was dead
the two point of views were different. Tobias was more altruistic and Tris was straight forward. and yes, yes they did. Veronica Roth said so in one of her interviews. besides it's kinda obvious by the way it's written.
Okay, so I finished reading Allegiant yesterday. And I have read all of three books in the series within a week. And the thing about reading the books in order,one right after the other is that you get way too attached to the characters and I JUST CAN'T. Like being sad about an ending of a book series isn't enough, but mourning the main character. I just did not see it coming, I was really terrified that Tobias would die, but he didn't. It was worse. I just wish the ending was happier so I can go back and read the books again, but I don't think I can. And there's Four- the book. How can I read that ?! After knowing that Tris dies… The grief is real.
oh my gosh i teared over your review of allegiant. you've re-opened my wounds. just the sound of your voice when quoting from the book is just ugh heartbreaking.
and another thing, is they have no photos of tris because abnegation were selfles so no photos and i doubt they had cameras or whatever because it was never mentioned. so ya tobias only has his memory of tris
If you don't mind me asking. Why do you have more than one copy of the same books on the shelf behind you? Or if anyone else knows the reason feel free to answer. Thanks.
I felt the same as you. Divergent is and will always be my favourite book and Tris my favourite character of all time, she has inspired me in so many ways!
You're adorable!! And I love your bookshelves! "It was kinda like a sine wave" I like you a lot (: Definitely agree on the POVs being blurry. Also, I didn't think they did it, but V Roth said in an interview that she won't tell if they did or not aka it's up to interpretation haha. And I have to say, I actually cried more for Clockwork Princess, but I totally get where you're coming from. *hugs you through screen* Not sure if you have, but check out my songgggggg (;
i was spoiled for the ending of allegiant but the whole time i was hoping the person that spoiled me was kidding and just bugging me. and after each chapter passed i was just waiting for it to happen and then when she passed the serum thing i was like so happy cuz i was like my friend lied! but then....nope.
The wave represents the tears that the fandom has cried. I cried like 100000000 buckets of tears. But, the ending left many questions. I do agree with all of your feelings. You just described everything that I'm feeling and I probably won't recover from this book hangover. I love Tris. She is just one of the most powerful characters ever in a book. She is a legend. No one should forget her. She is remarkable.
OML u just about made me lose my mind why did Tris have to die I just finished reading the book and I cried my self to sleep after Tris died and I don't think I can go on like seriously help there's no other character I love more (well there is Thomas from the maze runner but he's not as good) help me plz ur like the most inspirative person help me get through this!
I really love how Veronica actually wrote a girl character with lots of emotion. Most Paranormal and Dystopian books alike have very little character. Like how in the Hunger Games, Katniss was an empty box. Not Tris.
YES TO EVERYTHING IN THIS REVIEW D: I filmed a reaction/discussion and it was me crying the whole time haha I agree with everything you said especially regarding Tris' characterization and development. Your reviews are always spot on!! Love them.
YES YES YES I agree with you on pretty much everything. The POVs were VERY blurred, and I'm also confused about whether or not they had sex... AHHHH WATCHING THIS IS MAKING ME CRY AGAIN OMG. The passage you read really stood out to me as well. I love it! I didn't even think about how Allegiant would taint the other books, BUT IT TOTALLY WILL. That is definitely the worst thing. Amazing review! You brought up all the emotions I'd been trying to control, so now I'm going to go cry again. :P
I loveeeee u. And I love ur collection. I agree 100% with everything u said. Also I am so confused on the sex scene in chapter 41. I was soooooooooo like WTF when everyone was like OMG THEY DID IT !!! I was like "really? They did?!?!" Omg Tris dying, I have read Allegiant 6 times and I cry every single time. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
I read the first book and it was great. Then i got spoiled on the conclusion to Allegiant when i haven't even read the second book Insurgent i was really mad.
Omg I died when you said that this was your second time because the first time you were crying I did the same thing and loved the whole series and recently re read it to find myself in more tears But wish tris didn't die. Great Review
You honestly did the best review on allegiant, you touched all the good points and not well done points with respect. I was in denial when I first read the book but I knew that tris' death had to happen. The only thing I disagree with a lot of reviewers is about Tobias, I didn't find him annoying I felt like we were seeing a human. In divergent he was this rock that we all feel in love with but in allegiant we got to see him for who he was. He is an insecure and sensitive guy but he is strong and brave not to show it just like tris in divergent she was always doubting herself and Tobias would reassure her of her strength and in allegiant tris reassured him of his worth. We see this deep relationship where they both help each other rise. Lastly I don't think I could accept the book if tris did survive. Everyone who survived lost someone(Christina lost will, cara lost will, Zeke lost Uriah, Shauna lost Lynn, geroge lost tori) so it would be unfair if they lived happily ever after. So the line where Tobias says we mend each other really is genuine because they are all broken. Allegiant was powerful and genuine book and was a bittersweet ending but that makes it memorable. I can't wait to see all the movies and read the four short stories in July! Love your review!! :)
great review!! at first i didn't like the ending. then i watched a video of veronica explaining why she killed tris and then i changed my opinion and understood why she did that. tris is an amazing character and she will always have a place in my heart.
I loved your review so much! I cried like endless buckets of tears while reading allegiant and I cried again at watching your review! Needless to say, I love Allegiant :) and Tris, as you do
After watching I think your review was my favourite of all the Allegiant reviews, it made me cry and I agree with almost everything you said aside from Tobias who I loved learning more abt and watching his vulnerable side
i hate how people say they hate this book because of the death of tris, but really it is so realistic. it was going to happen whether or not it was in the book or not and veronica roth just decided to make it happen in the book. ik ur not like that but other ppl are and i just thought i would mention it
I completely agree with everything you said in this review. Although its heartbreaking that my favourite character EVER is gone, she died in the best way possible being selfless and brave and protecting the people she loved.
This review changed my entire view on the conclusion. It made me realise just how beautiful the trilogy really is and how strong Tris was. No, how strong she is. But I do agree that this book makes the whole series unreadable. All of the questions and mysteries that made Divergent a great book have been answered and are no irreversible. Thanks for your insight on this beautiful book!
I really like allegiant even though tris died... that was so devestating but the end cheered me up since tobias/4 moved on, that part was really sad. This book really changed my life and inspired me to become more like tris! Veronica roth is an amazing person and author I really respect her for writing such inspiring books. I cried sooo much (infinity buckets). So sad that was the last book:(
I share the same feelings as you. I love Tris so much. Part of me is still depressed and I can't get over it. I cried about 40 buckets of tears. I do think Veronica ended her life right. I love and respect her. I actually wrote an alternative ending. Tris survived and has done so much more for the world. She & Tobias are still together. It was MY wishful thinking on how it should of ended. I wish it did. Tris could of done something bigger for the world. I knew it from when she frist jumped on that train & off the building. But, you're right. Tris is forever ny favorite character. She has my heart, and I strive to have the morals she had.
Completely agree with everything you said. So sad we can't go back and read it all without knowing tris is gone. Afterwards I couldn't help but to go back and read the last words Tobias and tris said or all there cute make out sessions it was overall really really heartbreaking and I'm still depressed from it :(:(:(:(:((((((((
I literally was choking because of all the tears. I cried for 2 hours straight and I'm crying now, after watching this. :( yes, heartbreaking and the SADDEST BOOK EVER, but such a great, great, great message and so brave and courageous. I feel like tris finally realized who she truly is.
omg I would personally be upset if they had gotten together even though Tris is dead. B-cuz Tris LOVED Tobias and her bff is going to date him after she is dead? that would suck. in my opinian
This series is amazing. I would have loved it if Tris and Tobias got to say goodbye to eachother before Tris's death, but overall it was a fantastic book
ok I just finished the first book, loved it, I was about to order the other 2 books but I couldn't help but notice the TERRIBLE reviews Allegiant got, and so many people saying fans of the first 2 books should not read Allegiant, it just ruins everything, it's boring and disconnected from the rest of the books. So, is it worth reading? I know the spoiler at the end, but people say that's not the only thing that bothered them, the whole book was bad, help?
I literally cried a whole 3 hours the morning I finished it. Here is my story with Divergent. Last year-When I was in 7th grade- my teacher gave us a choice of books to read. The choices were WONDERFUL! But I decided on Divergent. Idk what, but something drew me to it. I read it and fell in love with it. I have always not been such a big fan of books or reading. Especially last year. Divergent and the Hunger Games series were seriously the ONLY things I read... With that being said, at the end of Divergent, although I desperately wanted to see how it carried out, I was simply too lazy to read Insurgent. This year -8th grade- I heard that Allegiant had come out. A lot of the big readers at my school were SUPER excited about it and I saw copies of it EVERYWHERE! I suddenly had an interest. I got Insurgent on my Kindle and started reading. I hadn't wanted to read it enough to read it quickly. That's when I started seeing the Instagram posts. The memes and pictures about how TRAGIC the end of Allegiant was. I suddenly had a HUGE purpose. This purpose was brought on by, none other than, Mocking Jay. I waited too long to read Mocking Jay. People had spoiled the ending for me before I read it. I WAS NOT going to let that happen with Allegiant. I finished Insurgent at about 3 in the morning on January 3rd 2014. I went to bed and woke up at around 11 and immediately got Allegiant on my Kindle and started to read it. I saw more and more Allegiant posts. I had to get done. I finished Allegiant at around 12 noon. I had thought hard about what the ending was before I started reading. About 3 chapters into it I realized. Tris was going to die. I came to that conclusion because, you can't have the ONLY POV DIE!!!!!! I realized that Tobias was added in so he could finish it. Tragically. My family stared and teased me for how much I cried. LITERALLY 3 hours straight. After I was pretty much finished, I decided to re-read Chapter 50 and beyond. Torturing myself. Idk why. I looked for the last conversation Tris and Tobias had, hoping it would mean something. Hoping it was a good conclusion to their relationship. The book TEASED me! After all the chapters knowing she was going to die, she goes into the serum. When she started mentioning it I realized, she might live. Then when she said she opened the doors I cried tears of joy. Only to be replaced, minutes later, by pure tears of sadness, sorrow, tragedy and heart-break as Tobias and Christina came back to learn her fate. I can honestly say, I cannot recall a time where I have cried more than what I experienced this morning. Sorry for taking your time. Thanks for reading.
"I fell in love with him.
But I don't just
stay with him by default as if there's no

I stay with him because I chose to,

he chooses me."
ALLEGIANT, page 372
It hurts even more when you imagine Tobias marrying another girl and having children and living happily ever after without Tris. The thought, it's horrible 😭
I read a wattpad fanfic the other day, called, 'Four Letters' and it was 'Four Letters' that Tobias wrote to Tris after her death.
They were all years after her death, and years apart from each other. In the first letter, Tobias drops the big bomb, 'I'm getting married'. When I read those words, I cried a river.
Then in the next one he says how his wife is pregnant.
UGHHHHHH
Piper Tye omg that the most terrible thing one person could think of :'(( how dare them destroy the image of TrisFour forever??? :/
Ikr !!!!
In We Can Be Mended, he ends up dating Christina.
yea and when that girl is christiana that’s even worse-
nothing and no death in allegiant made me as sorrow as Tobias's loss did. maybe I would have cried more if Tris' s death hadn't been spoiled for me but the things Tobias said made me sob. unlike Tris he only found one person who loved him in his life.
remember when he fantasized a life with Tris just before he left to Chicago.
remember what he said " just one more kiss. one more glance, one more"
it's been an year since I read this book, but I'm tearing up again. when you die the pains over you're at piece. it's harder to live with pain.
dear Caleb,
it.should.have.been.you.
You are the best person ever. XD!!!!
childish green subhuman yesss
***Spoilers****
I don't get how Tris survied the Death Serum but then gets finnicking killed by a gun, I was like Wth?
Gryne Smith she's wasn't fast enough to dodge the bullet
I was so sad when Tris died. It was about one or two months ago and I'm still balling out my eyes. I feel like I made a connection with Tris and when she died I felt like I died. We will always love you Tris. :'(
Remember when Tris saw her mom and she went with her? I imagine that i what it'll be like when Tobias goes. Tris will meet him.
u just made me smile :)
I died when u said, "People of the Divergent fandom, we can be mended. We mend each other."
*Pumps fist in the air*
Allegiant was so amazing and I'm so excited to see Allegiant in the cinemas. I think u and me will cry the most out of everyone in the entire fandom. Haha. *sob*
Is it just me, or is anyone else happy that Four isn't Divergent and he did act like a teenage girl? It shows that Four DOES have FLAWS. He's not just some perfect, hot, perfect, badass, perfect, Divergent guy. Four is human and does have flaws like everyone else.
wait four isnt divergent?
@@hearditb4 No, in Allegiant it's revealed that he isn't.
@@thomasmannia nah he’s still divergent he just isn’t pure like tris. No one is.
@@hearditb4 But being Divergent is being genetically 'pure'. They're the same thing. And Four has 'damaged' genes. So he isn't Divergent.
I think that, the waves on the book symbolize all of the tears that we have all cried..
omg you made me cry. I felt the same thing, she's my favourite character, she was brave, she was a very strong woman. Even thou Veronica broke my heart into a million pieces, and I also wanted to see her in the future with kids and Tobias, the final was perfect. And I loved it and it was amazing, and I don't think that Allegiant could have another amazing ending like that one. Still, I think why Tris? WHY? But I said is perfect because she didn't die in vain, she sacrificed for the people she loved. That is the perfect ending.
Tris didn't deserve to die. She has gone through so much. From the first stage of initition to being betrayed by Caleb and grief over several closest friend's deaths including Will. But of course we could see it coming. There was no point in dying at the erudite headquarters of guilt. But it felt right that she (SPOILERS) was shot by David. This is what makes the book so moving and powerful. Of course I loved allegiant. Ever since I can't stop reading the divergent series.
The sad part? I thought it was just a hallucination, I had to actually see her in the hospital bed, dead through Tobias's view before I cried. Tris Prior was my favorite character, I will never forget how amazing this series was.
Me to😞
I just finished reading the alegiant. ... I'm sobbing so hard. . I'm very sad but I also think that Tris ist the bravest caracter that I read in my life. Was normal for her to make that choice. She is so brave. Love her forever.
Tris said she would always be there for Christina :'( and I felt really bad for Tobias I think it would have hurt a little less if she had died from the death stuff
but then it would be like Insurgent all over again. Dying from a serum... thats just. I would have hated that.
I feel you :'(( That day my tear was running so hard, like uncontrollably that my parents thought I had done sth too guitly, sort of killing someone :" And then when they figured it out I was crying for Tris, they were mocking me :'( Like I was crazy, insane or sth like that :"> I was crying all the way from school back home and the next school day :( I am still not ready to reread Insurgent so I went after your preview of Four: A divergent collection :'( I hope I will get better then :'( I can hardly bear any thought about TrisFour and Tris's death since then
P/s thank you so much for speaking out what I tried to say :'> Love your voice and your passion for the books
I know what you mean and it’s so hard thought to explain to people who aren’t book readers what you are feeling I haven’t actually read the whole book a Legion I just saw the parts of it and look things up on the Internet and I sobbed when I had about the bit where Chris dies and I just spent the whole day listening to love songs and at that point I just wish I could be there for Tobias
it's been about 9 months since I read Allegiant. I still cry.
Tris is in a better place now...R.I.P. *cries more buckets of tears 5months later*
Okay, I cried watching this and I finished Allegiant in the beginning of November. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME SOPHIA
Who the hell are you ?
-sophia
I felt the same when tris died too. I had got so frigging attatched to her and I fell in love with her character. When she dies it broke my heart. I must of cried for at least 2 hours and every time someone talked about divergent, insurgent allegiant or tris i would just start crying all over again. We are in the same boat sophia! :-(
+FreyFreys Bookies two people in my life died lately and i dint cry .
when tris died i cry for days i messed up so i made a choice to write my own ending picking up on chapter 50 ( tris lives in my ending ) anyone one who wants a copy can have one ( it will not be ready for two - three weeks ) but your more then welcome to a copy .no more crying for me
Hey, I have a theory for the wall,
Donald Trump built it.
Omg. This is perfection.
I was so mad ughadkls;fjad;klf
Tris is so amazing. She's one of my favorite characters of all time. I was so sad when she died :( She SURVIVES THE DEATH SERUM! Like, it was amazing! And then she had to get shot by some character that no one even cared about it? UGH UGH UGH UGH :(
+theatergirl713 two people in my life died lately and i dint cry .

i am actually depresses i just finished the book today and i don't know if i will ever read a book again
You made me cry all over again. All of us Divergent fans need to just have a huge group hug. I cried tons and my heart aches every time I think about it. I have to repeat over and over in my mind that Tris is dead hoping that the pain will go away once I get used to it but there is no way.
I think Veronica Roth did the right thing with Tris. The book was great, and some people should just see that Tris is now with her parents.
I agree with u one hundred percent. This was my favorite series out of all of them, including the hunger games, and triss was by far my fav character even out of background characters PLUS normal characters...and then she died...and...i just keep hoping that im dreaming. But. Im not. And tris is dead. And uriah is dead. And tori is dead. And will is dead. And marlene is dead. EVERYONE I LOVED IS DEAD. I cried so hard. You have NO IDEA
She was crying for hours
I just finished reading the book like an hour ago and it broke me into pieces. I felt the exact same way about almost everything you said and wanted to high-five you like million times. I really enjoyed this video and I can't imagine myself reading the first two books without thinking the whole time, that Tris dies. It will forever haunt me.
When my sister is old enough I will give them to her to read and see what she thinks about them and maybe - even if our age gap is 17, 5 years - we will cry the same way I cried after I found out Tris had died. Also I feel like Veronica has left behind such a good legacy, I mean if you read it, you are actually learning new things about yourself and others around you. I felt like it was a real journey and that it had to end like this at some point :( Tris is such a good role model and I will forever think, what would Tris do.
...my first "saga" read. I really liked it and I cried like a baby during Allegiant, but I really mostly cried over the memories that Tobias had of Tris, and when he went to the zip line for her. My favorite character would probably be him, he was just really sweet and him not being divergent, but still beating as strong as one amazes me. I loved how in the beginning he wanted to be different by having all the values.
I think the reason why Veronica made Tris die is because it shows people that everyone doesn't get a happy ending, people can lose one another, and we need to let that person go no matter how hard it is
I'm just a wayward reader still grieving after Allegiant. I needed other people to confirm that my tears aren't ridiculous. That missing Tris like she was a real life person isn't weird. And maybe that's wrong but yeah, your review has helped. I finished the book today and I am currently in denial. I thought she'd survive. Even when I knew she'd sacrifice herself rather than her brother. And I did! I knew as soon as the plans came together and Caleb offered himself up like some lamb to slaughter all doe-eyed and guilty looking. I knew Tris wouldn't allow that even if she still held those shards of resentment for his betrayal - which I was disappointed with, that it wasn't explained, all we got was 'Jeanine Matthews is a very persuasive person'. Oh yeah, Caleb?! WHAT DID SHE SAY? - I wished he'd spoken more about it, I wish we'd gotten more from him. Turns out I'm not quite as forgiving as Tris was but then again, Caleb the Betrayer wasn't my brother. But yeah, I knew she'd put herself in his place but I had such faith! I knew she'd fight the Death Serum and she did and she got so close and I kept expecting her to survive. To be reunited with Tobias after he returned from the city a new man. This is Beatrice Prior. Abnegation. Erudite. Dauntless. Divergent. And so much more. I thought she was untouchable. I didn't think she was capable of dying so when she did, it was shocking. It shook me to my core and then spat me on the ground. And I didn't quite grasp that she was dead until it came from Cara's mouth as she told Tobias and I had to flip back and reread. And even then I still held this little spark of hope that she'd wake up. It became abundantly clear this wasn't the case when Tobias and Christina were shown her body. Her cold, dead body. And I had to put the book down for a second, my heart was hurting my throat was tight, ugly crying the hell out of myself and that sliver of hope was crushed under many layers of surmounting grief. Annnnd now I'm crying again.
To conclude this weird comment I'll say that chances are I won't be rereading Divergent for a bit. It hurts to think about naive little Beatrice with her long hair and her desperate desire to find a niche that fitted her just right. I couldn't reread her jumping from the train and then the building, strong and stubborn. Her pride and her brief moments of joy. Or when she tried her first hamburger and know that in what I think is less than a year... she'll be dead. I'm gonna miss her with my whole heart, which is currently covered in cracks from her loss. But I don't hate Veronica for it, I just wanna beg her to rewrite it for my petty little broken heart.
Lovely review and MAN you have A LOT of books.
Status on buckets of tears shed: There Aren't Enough Buckets. Ever
Four was kinda whiny once we got into his head, but I still thought it was an interesting perspective. Veronica Roth has a lot of big themes in this including Tris being selfless (despite choosing against Abnegation in the ceremony). I also reviewed this book!
"Tris, where did you get a sense of humor?" lmao. You crack me up c: Tris dying was so sad. I was hoping for my happy ending with her and Tobias and them having kids! But no... Still love the book.
I AM A BIG FAN,OF DIVERGENT TOO IS THE BEST.
My teacher when I was reading the book told me something big would happen in the end but she wouldn’t tell me what, I read the book in about three days because I had to take breaks but when I read her death I cried so much and then I kept reading and read Uriah’s death and I cried more and then I read how Tobias wanted to erase Tris from his memory. After reading the book I then called my friend and read her the parts where I cried and she didn’t get why I was so sad. Now I go back and read her death whenever I feel sad or I need to cry but can’t let it out on my own. The series was amazing and I really never want to even think about what Tobias does years later.
I wonder how long it will take until my chest doesn't feel heavy anymore. How can veronica live with the fact she killed tris? How am i supposed to watch the movie without bursting into tears everytime i see tris or tobias. ..
Idk man, i loved christina until she tried "to force" Tobias to move on and throwing herself on him.... I feel like tris died AND THAT'S ALL, She didn't even take credits for stoping david's plan... And than people sart to talk about moving on like if she was never among them..... Wtf.... It hurts so bad..... Made me think human's life is worth nothing as we die and be forgotten eventually....... To be forgotten is smth AL WOULD want, but not Tris.....
How can they fall in love with each other.... That makes me feel betrayed on Tris's behalf, and make me wish Tobias was dead
I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT TRIS!!!!! SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED. BUT I DON'T BLAME VERONICA ROTH. May 4+6 forever live in my heart!!!! GO FOURTRIS!!! & Sheo.
the two point of views were different. Tobias was more altruistic and Tris was straight forward.
and yes, yes they did. Veronica Roth said so in one of her interviews. besides it's kinda obvious by the way it's written.
Okay, so I finished reading Allegiant yesterday. And I have read all of three books in the series within a week. And the thing about reading the books in order,one right after the other is that you get way too attached to the characters and I JUST CAN'T. Like being sad about an ending of a book series isn't enough, but mourning the main character. I just did not see it coming, I was really terrified that Tobias would die, but he didn't. It was worse. I just wish the ending was happier so I can go back and read the books again, but I don't think I can. And there's Four- the book. How can I read that ?! After knowing that Tris dies… The grief is real.
Finally someone who actually likes allegiant! Divergent is also my favorite sires.
Does Tobias remind anyone of Gale? Like maybe not as bad but still...
I know this is 3 years late, but i didn't even know that Tris died and then i re read the chapter AND I WAS LIKE WHAT
oh my gosh i teared over your review of allegiant. you've re-opened my wounds. just the sound of your voice when quoting from the book is just ugh heartbreaking.
The ending was so heartbreaking and Tobias took it soo hard! They had so much more to go through together!
wow you really expressed my feelings better than i would ever do. ur right, Tris is unforgetable.
I cried and cried why tris #WHY
I tryed to read divergent again and I...😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😵
and another thing, is they have no photos of tris because abnegation were selfles so no photos and i doubt they had cameras or whatever because it was never mentioned. so ya tobias only has his memory of tris
If you don't mind me asking. Why do you have more than one copy of the same books on the shelf behind you? Or if anyone else knows the reason feel free to answer. Thanks.
I felt the same as you. Divergent is and will always be my favourite book and Tris my favourite character of all time, she has inspired me in so many ways!
Hhaha i finished allegiant like ten minutes ago and your review was definitely comforting to me after that ending heheh
You're adorable!! And I love your bookshelves! "It was kinda like a sine wave" I like you a lot (: Definitely agree on the POVs being blurry. Also, I didn't think they did it, but V Roth said in an interview that she won't tell if they did or not aka it's up to interpretation haha. And I have to say, I actually cried more for Clockwork Princess, but I totally get where you're coming from. *hugs you through screen* Not sure if you have, but check out my songgggggg (;
i was spoiled for the ending of allegiant but the whole time i was hoping the person that spoiled me was kidding and just bugging me. and after each chapter passed i was just waiting for it to happen and then when she passed the serum thing i was like so happy cuz i was like my friend lied! but then....nope.
This girl looks like a girl from my class.And...that girl from my class is a fan of Divergent
The wave represents the tears that the fandom has cried. I cried like 100000000 buckets of tears. But, the ending left many questions. I do agree with all of your feelings. You just described everything that I'm feeling and I probably won't recover from this book hangover. I love Tris. She is just one of the most powerful characters ever in a book. She is a legend. No one should forget her. She is remarkable.
OML u just about made me lose my mind why did Tris have to die I just finished reading the book and I cried my self to sleep after Tris died and I don't think I can go on like seriously help there's no other character I love more (well there is Thomas from the maze runner but he's not as good) help me plz ur like the most inspirative person help me get through this!
I really love how Veronica actually wrote a girl character with lots of emotion. Most Paranormal and Dystopian books alike have very little character. Like how in the Hunger Games, Katniss was an empty box. Not Tris.
YES TO EVERYTHING IN THIS REVIEW D: I filmed a reaction/discussion and it was me crying the whole time haha I agree with everything you said especially regarding Tris' characterization and development. Your reviews are always spot on!! Love them.
Watching this brought back all the feels. I'm crying again...
I seriously agree with every little thing you said. Bitter-sweet ending...
I was so sad about the ending, but hey it’s not always about the happy ending, maybe it’s about the story
well have to relive it when the movie comes out:( We mend each other!
YES YES YES I agree with you on pretty much everything. The POVs were VERY blurred, and I'm also confused about whether or not they had sex...
AHHHH WATCHING THIS IS MAKING ME CRY AGAIN OMG. The passage you read really stood out to me as well. I love it!
I didn't even think about how Allegiant would taint the other books, BUT IT TOTALLY WILL. That is definitely the worst thing.
Amazing review! You brought up all the emotions I'd been trying to control, so now I'm going to go cry again. :P
I want to reread the books forever but tris's death I can't forget
Your words are beautiful what you said about tris and Tobias and all the other characters. I loved it!
I loveeeee u. And I love ur collection. I agree 100% with everything u said. Also I am so confused on the sex scene in chapter 41. I was soooooooooo like WTF when everyone was like OMG THEY DID IT !!! I was like "really? They did?!?!"
Omg Tris dying, I have read Allegiant 6 times and I cry every single time. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
I read the first book and it was great. Then i got spoiled on the conclusion to Allegiant when i haven't even read the second book Insurgent i was really mad.
You shouldn't have waited so long
I know right?
I got spoiled too, but u definitely still need to read it! I did, and no regret :"> It's worth reading
I got spoiled in the middle of reading divergent and still found myself crying for 3 days straight
I was spoiled for allegiant and I was so mad.
Me too
But she ask u not to watch if u didnt read the bk dub
I was spoiled before I read the book and II read the book before I watched the video Nav Gagan
I was too. It was really frustrating
I blame the internet..., for everything
Omg I died when you said that this was your second time because the first time you were crying
I did the same thing and loved the whole series and recently re read it to find myself in more tears
But wish tris didn't die. Great Review
a brilliant ending but it caused me physical pain ,_,
You still need 2 more copies of Allegiant to complete your collection!
Plus the names stop appearing after trises "death"
You honestly did the best review on allegiant, you touched all the good points and not well done points with respect. I was in denial when I first read the book but I knew that tris' death had to happen. The only thing I disagree with a lot of reviewers is about Tobias, I didn't find him annoying I felt like we were seeing a human. In divergent he was this rock that we all feel in love with but in allegiant we got to see him for who he was. He is an insecure and sensitive guy but he is strong and brave not to show it just like tris in divergent she was always doubting herself and Tobias would reassure her of her strength and in allegiant tris reassured him of his worth. We see this deep relationship where they both help each other rise. Lastly I don't think I could accept the book if tris did survive. Everyone who survived lost someone(Christina lost will, cara lost will, Zeke lost Uriah, Shauna lost Lynn, geroge lost tori) so it would be unfair if they lived happily ever after. So the line where Tobias says we mend each other really is genuine because they are all broken. Allegiant was powerful and genuine book and was a bittersweet ending but that makes it memorable. I can't wait to see all the movies and read the four short stories in July! Love your review!! :)
I honestly know how you feel, Tris is and always will be my favorite character ever. I agreed to every thing you said and I feel your pain too.
The part that had me wailing my eyes out the most was when he went zip lining with Tris' ashes
WHY AM I NOT MENDED YET
great review!! at first i didn't like the ending. then i watched a video of veronica explaining why she killed tris and then i changed my opinion and understood why she did that. tris is an amazing character and she will always have a place in my heart.
I loved your review so much! I cried like endless buckets of tears while reading allegiant and I cried again at watching your review! Needless to say, I love Allegiant :) and Tris, as you do
I read Allegiant when it came out, and only now I watched your review and I still can't stop sobbing. I don't think I'll ever forget this book
P.S.
I have not read Allegiant, but people spoiled the entire book for me, so, i don't give a crap.
BUT NOOO
THEY HAD TO KILL TRIS.
literally my exact SAME thoughts!!! I will never get over this!!! Like in situations I will seriously ask myself "What would Tris do?"
I think the most emotional part for me was when Tobias faced his fear of the zipline to spread her ashes 🤧😭😭
After watching I think your review was my favourite of all the Allegiant reviews, it made me cry and I agree with almost everything you said aside from Tobias who I loved learning more abt and watching his vulnerable side
i hate how people say they hate this book because of the death of tris, but really it is so realistic. it was going to happen whether or not it was in the book or not and veronica roth just decided to make it happen in the book. ik ur not like that but other ppl are and i just thought i would mention it
I completely agree with everything you said in this review. Although its heartbreaking that my favourite character EVER is gone, she died in the best way possible being selfless and brave and protecting the people she loved.
Have you read Hush,Hush? I think you'd like it... If you haven't read it...
This review changed my entire view on the conclusion. It made me realise just how beautiful the trilogy really is and how strong Tris was. No, how strong she is. But I do agree that this book makes the whole series unreadable. All of the questions and mysteries that made Divergent a great book have been answered and are no irreversible. Thanks for your insight on this beautiful book!
I really like allegiant even though tris died... that was so devestating but the end cheered me up since tobias/4 moved on, that part was really sad. This book really changed my life and inspired me to become more like tris! Veronica roth is an amazing person and author I really respect her for writing such inspiring books. I cried sooo much (infinity buckets). So sad that was the last book:(
I share the same feelings as you. I love Tris so much. Part of me is still depressed and I can't get over it. I cried about 40 buckets of tears. I do think Veronica ended her life right. I love and respect her. I actually wrote an alternative ending. Tris survived and has done so much more for the world. She & Tobias are still together. It was MY wishful thinking on how it should of ended. I wish it did. Tris could of done something bigger for the world. I knew it from when she frist jumped on that train & off the building. But, you're right. Tris is forever ny favorite character. She has my heart, and I strive to have the morals she had.
do you think if tris hadnt chose dauntless she might still be alive?
I loved the book so much and think that the ending made sense and was true to Tris's character.
Completely agree with everything you said. So sad we can't go back and read it all without knowing tris is gone. Afterwards I couldn't help but to go back and read the last words Tobias and tris said or all there cute make out sessions it was overall really really heartbreaking and I'm still depressed from it :(:(:(:(:((((((((
I literally was choking because of all the tears. I cried for 2 hours straight and I'm crying now, after watching this. :( yes, heartbreaking and the SADDEST BOOK EVER, but such a great, great, great message and so brave and courageous. I feel like tris finally realized who she truly is.
I wonder if you still agree with this review!
I LOVED YOUR PASSION TALKING ABOUT THE SÉRIES Congrats
Oops I meant four & Christina lol do you think they end up together later on down the line ???? Sorry for the confusion
omg I would personally be upset if they had gotten together even though Tris is dead. B-cuz Tris LOVED Tobias and her bff is going to date him after she is dead? that would suck. in my opinian
I hope they don't cuz I don't see Tobias with anyone but Tris :'( Part of me wanted Tobias to die to so he could be with Tris
This series is amazing. I would have loved it if Tris and Tobias got to say goodbye to eachother before Tris's death, but overall it was a fantastic book
Thank you for making this review. It helps me do my assignment from my lecturer.
AHH!! That vague scene!!! I READ IT ABOUT A MILLION TIMES!! DRIVES ME MAD!! Hope they did. It was the last chance and all, haha!!
ok I just finished the first book, loved it, I was about to order the other 2 books but I couldn't help but notice the TERRIBLE reviews Allegiant got, and so many people saying fans of the first 2 books should not read Allegiant, it just ruins everything, it's boring and disconnected from the rest of the books. So, is it worth reading? I know the spoiler at the end, but people say that's not the only thing that bothered them, the whole book was bad, help?
I literally cried a whole 3 hours the morning I finished it. Here is my story with Divergent. Last year-When I was in 7th grade- my teacher gave us a choice of books to read. The choices were WONDERFUL! But I decided on Divergent. Idk what, but something drew me to it. I read it and fell in love with it. I have always not been such a big fan of books or reading. Especially last year. Divergent and the Hunger Games series were seriously the ONLY things I read... With that being said, at the end of Divergent, although I desperately wanted to see how it carried out, I was simply too lazy to read Insurgent. This year -8th grade- I heard that Allegiant had come out. A lot of the big readers at my school were SUPER excited about it and I saw copies of it EVERYWHERE! I suddenly had an interest. I got Insurgent on my Kindle and started reading. I hadn't wanted to read it enough to read it quickly. That's when I started seeing the Instagram posts. The memes and pictures about how TRAGIC the end of Allegiant was. I suddenly had a HUGE purpose. This purpose was brought on by, none other than, Mocking Jay. I waited too long to read Mocking Jay. People had spoiled the ending for me before I read it. I WAS NOT going to let that happen with Allegiant. I finished Insurgent at about 3 in the morning on January 3rd 2014. I went to bed and woke up at around 11 and immediately got Allegiant on my Kindle and started to read it. I saw more and more Allegiant posts. I had to get done. I finished Allegiant at around 12 noon. I had thought hard about what the ending was before I started reading. About 3 chapters into it I realized. Tris was going to die. I came to that conclusion because, you can't have the ONLY POV DIE!!!!!! I realized that Tobias was added in so he could finish it. Tragically. My family stared and teased me for how much I cried. LITERALLY 3 hours straight. After I was pretty much finished, I decided to re-read Chapter 50 and beyond. Torturing myself. Idk why. I looked for the last conversation Tris and Tobias had, hoping it would mean something. Hoping it was a good conclusion to their relationship. The book TEASED me! After all the chapters knowing she was going to die, she goes into the serum. When she started mentioning it I realized, she might live. Then when she said she opened the doors I cried tears of joy. Only to be replaced, minutes later, by pure tears of sadness, sorrow, tragedy and heart-break as Tobias and Christina came back to learn her fate.
I can honestly say, I cannot recall a time where I have cried more than what I experienced this morning. Sorry for taking your time. Thanks for reading.
