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.
