Fans of Veronica Roth's compelling book series Divergent have been
anxiously awaiting the release of the third and final installment of the
trilogy: Allegiant. The book is set to hit the shelves on October 22nd.
Readers are charged and ready to pick up where Insurgent
left off. And with a catch phrase like "One choice will define you",
it is safe to assume this New York Times best selling author has big things in
store for Tris. With that being said, Allegiant will be written from the
point of view of both Tris and Four. This is unique from the book's
predecessors. When asked why she took a different approach to her conclusion of
this series, Roth responded with:
"I tried repeatedly to write Allegiant in just Tris’s voice, but it didn’t work; her perspective, her way of seeing things, was a little too limited for the story I needed to tell, I wanted to do two things with it: A. let two characters experience different things, and B. let them react differently to the same things, so that I (and eventually, the reader) would get a better sense of the whole story, the whole picture.”

"I’ve said before that I’ve always seen Four
(increasingly, as the series goes on) as a plot-mover alongside Tris, so he was
the obvious choice for the second POV (though not the only one I tried).
Exploring him and his choices and his assumptions about the world was incredibly
interesting to me."
The Divergent series has drawn in fans of all types, becoming especially popular among fans of the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series.
