I’m glad I finished this book finally. I didn’t finish during my first read-through in middle school because someone at camp spoiled the ending for me and I lost interest. I really struggled with the first half of the book, it moved soooooo slow. It picked up around the end. I wasn’t a fan of the split perspective (why, after all the other books were just written from Tris’ perspective?!) and I don’t think the author developed Tobias’ voice enough. There were a lot of good quotes in here that I highlighted, and I liked the way that the characters describe and experience grief. It resonated with me as someone who has lost several family members close to me. I’d never read this again, but at least I finished it. I actually didn’t think the ending

with Tris dying

was that out-of-left field like I’ve seen many people say.

I actually think this broke me. There’s literally nothing else to say. This whole trilogy has been amazing and I’ve never loved a series more and now that it’s over I don’t really know what to do with myself. That’s really dramatic but it’s true. Every character is so carefully thought out and the plot is so layered but written so well that I was never confused and spent every moment just in awe of the world Veronica Roth created. I would recommend this to anyone, but bring tissues!

I'm so glad I read the books after discovering the series through the films. I am so in love with these books. The characters are so complex with real struggles, Roth does an amazing job of avoiding "good vs bad" and really explores the idea of good people bad choices and the difficulties of knowing what the right thing even is in such hard situations.

I cried my eyes out for the last several chapters!

Didn't have the motivation to read it, and then I had to turn it back in to the library when my loan was expiring.
