Book 3 of Divergent trilogy
The factionless have taken over Chicago, breaking the social structure of the city. A new conflict is arising between the factionless and the Allegiant, who hope to return the city to a system of factions. With this background, Tris and Four decide that they are going to leave the city (as suggested in the message from Tris great grandmother) and most of this final installment takes place outside Chicago (at O'Hare airport in turns out). On the outside, we get a picture of what the world really is, with the US consisting of a few metropolitan centers, surrounded by those who live in "The Fringe". In this world, society is divided into Genetically Pure and Genetically Damaged, which for Tris is just another couple of factions. I like that Roth has added a completely new layer to this series with the genetic questions. I like that she never "preaches" by telling the reader what to think. Instead, there are hints about the characters starting to think about equality and mixing of factions. We readers are pointed in a direction, but don't have to listen to the authors point of view through speeches of the characters. We get to watch the authors point of view through the actions and life choices of the characters. A solid, enjoyable, thought-provoking conclusion to this series. Highly recommended.
