Now that the factions have fallen and the truth about their society has been made known, a small group, including Tris and Tobias, seeks to fulfill the wishes of the originators of the experiment. This group calls themselves the Allegiant. And their plan is to defy the leadership of Evelyn Johnson and leave the city, hoping to help those on the outside as they have learned they were meant to do.
Though the plan is successful, and Tris, Tobias, and several others make it outside of the city, what they face turns their world upside down again. They enter a world of "Genetically Pure" and "Genetically Damaged." They learn about air travel and other modern things which had been hidden from them in the city. And they find that they still don't know where the truth lies. Being in the "real world" forces them to face new life-altering decisions -- and make decisions on behalf of those they left behind.
**Eh... It was okay. I mean, I committed to reading it when I continued the series. But definitely not as fantastic a read. Which is why it took so long for me to get through it. I will say I liked some of the "morals" the main characters offer the reader toward the end of the book. But there are also a lot of other subtle things I didn't like. So, I'm glad I'm done with it and can move on to something else. I may or may not read the new one: FOUR. Depends on how desperate I am for a book at the time. But I feel no tie to it.
