So let’s start of with the fact
that if you are an emotionally challenged person, reading this series probably
isn’t good for your mental health. Some of us find this out the hard way. That
being said I loved this trilogy. It reminded me of so many things that make us
human and for the most part kept me excited, wondering what was coming next. The change of setting was slightly
unnerving, but in a good way. The way that Veronica Roth took time in both the
city and the Bureau was interesting and by the end I understood why. I wasn’t
overly impressed with the idea of the city being an experiment but now that I
think about it, it makes sense considering the series as a whole. The part that
really got me about this book was the ending. I’m sure that’s how most people
who have read it feel (comment below).
♥Characters♥
♥Tobias: Now normally I would start with Tris, but I think the fact
that the chapters in this book switch between Tris and Tobias is important so I’m
going to start with him this time. In this book I think that Tobias truly broke
down for the readers and made it so we could see how his life as a child and in
the city in general. The way he reacted when told he was wrong and how his mind
seems to work. I was interested in that and happy to see behind his walls.
Although there were some things I didn’t want to hear. I was very upset with
Tobias for acting with Nita. You shouldn’t be doing something you aren’t
comfortable with your significant other knowing. When Tris dies I felt for
Tobias. I didn’t believe it and cried same as he did. If anyone deserves true
love in this series it is Tobias, but I’m uncertain if he will ever find that
given how this great romance ended.
♥Tris:
Here
is where things get all emotional. I didn’t think that I actually felt for Tris
that much until she died. And when she went into the chamber for Caleb, I
strongly believed that she would make it through. I couldn’t see the author
killing of her main character, but that’s exactly what happened. Tris was
someone to me that I would try to model myself after, she was selfless and
brave. She had a good judge of character and wasn’t afraid to stand for what
she believed in by the end of things. She also knew how to love ferociously.
This series to me was about what it is to be human and feel.
♥Uriah:
Because
one death is never enough apparently, this guy didn’t make it either. He would
have enjoyed the new world that Tobias is now living in. With his jokes and
quick smiles, he easily wormed his way into my heart.
♥Evelyn:
I
was surprised when she gave into the truce that Tobias offered, but then again
she is his mother. It’s horrible that Marcus couldn’t change, but I don’t
believe that people like that never really do. I hope that she finds something
she enjoys in the city. I could see her being an advocate. I was expecting her
to say something about Tris, like an open ended apology, especially after how
she treated her.
♥Christina:
A
strong character throughout the ability to forgive and not hold grudges for a
long period of time makes her loveable. I do feel bad that she has seen so many
people die around her. I hope that she finds true happiness in the city.
♥Caleb:
This
is a difficult part to write as I hated him after the second book. The way her
agreed with the obvious evil was interesting but horrible. I wish that he had
had a chance to talk through what exactly happened, but when the alarm went off
they lost their chance. I hope that he lives the best life possible as his life
was returned to him by Tris. Something I’m still unsure if he deserved.
I’m
going to leave the characters there for the moment. I think that it makes sense
to include those. If you would like to discuss more about the characters,
comments are open.
♥Moments to Remember♥
♥Pg.
25
“‘Yes, well, I realized that we’ve never been
on an actual date.’
‘Choas and destruction do tend to take away a
person’s dating possibilities.’
‘I
would like to experience this ‘date’ phenomenon.’”
♥Pg.
380
“‘It’s
very strange that a persons genes would make them so resistant to mind
manipulation of any kind.’
‘Maybe it’s not her genes,’ I say, shrugging.
I switch feet. ‘Maybe it’s some kind of superhuman stubbornness.’”
♥Final Line: “We mend each other.”
Thanks
for reading,
Love,
