About this title

Review:

Roth shakes up her storytelling (and will do the same to some readers) in this highly anticipated, largely satisfying wrap-up to the Divergent trilogy. --Publishers Weekly"

Roth s plotting is...intelligent and complex. Dangers, suspicion, and tension lurk around every corner, and the chemistry between Tris and Tobias remains heart-poundingly real. This final installment will capture and hold attention until the divisive final battle has been waged. --Publishers Weekly"

The tragic conclusion, although shocking, is thematically consistent; the bittersweet epilogue offers a poignant hope. --Kirkus Reviews"

A surprise ending that is gutsier and much less predictable than the rest of the series would lead one to expect. --Los Angeles Times"

The plot is believably complex, and Roth makes the wise decision in this last installment to reveal the secrets early on and let the focus fall on her characters as they grapple with this new reality, the choices that face them, and the repercussions of their actions. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

In the end, this is a world replete with loss, and the heroes must suffer their own in a twist that will break the hearts of many readers but stays true to the merciless dystopia that Roth has created. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
