Description

Globally bestselling author Veronica Roth returns to the world of Divergent in this revealing short-story epilogue that takes place five years after the stunning events of Allegiant.

As Tobias struggles to understand and move past his fears, the world he once knew has changed beyond recognition. Fringe-dwellers, ex-faction members, Bureau dropouts, and migrants now coexist in the rebuilt streets of Chicago.

It’s a new, better world—one where he isn't sure how to belong. As everyone else seems to move forward, Tobias is still haunted by those who couldn’t. But new connections from old friends help him begin to heal—and mend.

And don't miss The Fates Divide, Veronica Roth's powerful sequel to the bestselling Carve the Mark!

    Not gonna lie, I totally hate Tobias and Christiana together, but I’m glad Tobias finally found some type of peace. This was a good ending but I prefer just to pretend the 3rd book never happened.
  • I HATED THIS BOOK

    It BROKE MY HEART. And not in a good way. I hated that Tobias ended up with Christina. They never had any chemistry or romance between them the entire series. He barely even liked her as a friend until after Tris died. And it seemed like such a betrayal that he would do that to her, I think it’s an awful way to honor her memory. So, overall, I HATED THIS BOOK MORE THAN ANY BOOK I HAVE EVER READ, although I am absolutely OBSESSED with the original series, and love Veronica Roth for writing them.
  • hot take: it was satisfactory

    i know that most probably didn’t like the ending of this or the outcome of how the divergent trilogy ended, but personally? it brought me closure. when i finished allegiant a day or so ago, i felt a rift inside me and i felt empty and without satisfaction. i felt so pleased and desperate to read this and i went through a lot of trouble to do so. in the end, it was mainly satisfactory to me, and i feel like the hole in my heart after reading all those deaths isn’t that big anymore; it’s slowly shrinking so that my heart can remain whole again.

    I stopped by the fifth page. Tobias and Christina end up together, and Tobias moves on from tris BY GETTING TOGETHER WITH CHRISTINA!!!!!!!! It’s terrible, because it destroys the whole divergent series, where he likes Christina AS A FRIEND. It’s a betrayal and a disgrace to Tris, because her ‘best friend’ ends up with her boyfriend. It’s just WRONG. He wasn’t meant to get over Tris so fast, because the love of his life died in a horrible way. The whole point of the book is that HE LOVES TRIS, so he wouldn’t get together with Christina To Veronica Roth: YOU RUINED ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL TRY TO FORGET I EVEN READ THIS DISAPPOINTMENT OF A SEQUEL

    Christina and Four ending up together literally doesn’t align with either of their characters and the way the talk about Tris is just not it. She honestly should have never published it

    This was the worst book written ever. When I read it and found out Tobias and Christina ended up together, it made me want to puke. It felt so wrong and like something Tobias or Christina would ever do. I would not recommend this book to anyone who liked the original divergent series. Tris never should have died and Tobias and Christina should never have gotten together. Literally anyone else in the world would be fine but not Christina. If I had the choice to not rate it, I would use it, because this story doesn’t deserve even a one star rating
  • So disappointing

    I bought this book hoping I would relieve some of the pain that Allegiant had made me feel but Christina and Four together is just wrong. I get, they connect in the grief but it’s so disappointing and made me just feel mad.

    I would have really enjoyed it had Tobias moved on with anyone, but Christina even Cara was a better option at least they had something in common other that grief.

    Noooo, never read this! Tobias and Christina should’ve never come together. Tris shouldn’t have died and even though she did, they should’ve just made Tobias ache for her but look up to her and do everything he does for her
