Allegiant is the third book in the Divergent trilogy. The book starts off by going back on the end of the previous book, Insurgent: an experiment of genetic engineering is revealed as the cause behind the five human factions that controlled Chicago. These factions are known as the Amity, The Abnegation, The Candor, The Dauntless, and the Erudite. Now, the factionless masses have risen up to take control of Chicago in a faction war, and those who used to belong to factions rebelled against their government leader, Evelyn, mother of Tris (Beatrice) Prior's love interest, Tobias (Four). As a result Tris, Tobias, and their friends set out on a mission to unravel the world beyond the city limits. During their expedition, the group finds themselves at the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, a government agency supposedly working to fix the genetic damage that has been a problem in the United States for many years. The Bureau's leader, David, tells Tris and Tobias that Chicago was merely one of many experiments aimed to cure this problem of genetic damage. 

          They are told that the term Divergent simply means that someone possesses cured genes, and they realize that their entire livelihood has been nothing but a lie. Tris and Tobias must come to terms with life outside the city while deciding for themselves whether or not the Bureau is an evil organization. Eventually, when the city is on the verge of an all-out war between Evelyn and the Allegiant, Tris and her friends must act to stop the Bureau from resetting the memories of everyone in the experiment.

Secondly, although most people believe that this novel isn’t one of the best, I believe that this was one of Veronica Roth’s most creative and ethical work of art and literature because of the level of depth and real-time experiences revealed throughout.

Lastly, this novel reminded me of the time when I was born because similar to factionless, my mother had not one single brother, only five sisters….until I was born. Only then, was the first male child introduced into my grandparent’s family tree. It was my birth that brought forth the light and success of my mother’s family. Without me, the whole family chain would break apart(not now since I have a younger brother and sister but still my brother won’t have a big brother to look up to; the same goes for my sister although she still has my younger brother; still, the main foundation of these chains will be broken). As a part of this family, it is my duty and honor to ensure success and let failure not be an option.
