Allegiant
What if your whole world was a lie?
"The thrillingly dark conclusion to the No. 1 New York Times bestselling DIVERGENT trilogy."
What if a single revelation – like a single choice – changed everything? What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered – fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature – and of herself – while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

Book Reviews
Ending aside Divergent series has been quite typical y/ya dystopia trilogy. But since the ending did surprise me by not following the mainstream I'll give the extra half-star.
So you mean to tell me that an 18-year old boy doesn't think about sex at least once in the course of several weeks? I CALL SHENANIGANS! As a rule of thumb; don't write several POVs if they all sound exactly the same. Am I in Tris' head or Four's? Had it not been for the chapter headings I would never have known whose POV I was reading... Also, if you have to introduce a second POV to make your ending work, it doesn't really work, now does it? I'm not even sure Roth wrote most of this book. Oh, the dialogue and world-building was still as bland as the previous books, but the prose was a lot better, light-years better. Did Roth just wake up one day, suddenly and magically a better writer? Maybe she took some classes or something. Anyway, that's one of the stars right there. The second is for miscellaneous. Anyway, I'm done with this Big Mac now. I feel way too full, and sort of, but not quite, regret my decision.
Hated it! The earlier parts of the trilogy were OK, but this was a major bust in my opinion! The ending was just plain wrong!
