![]() Tobias is forced to use the memory serum on her mother to change her mind. They argue about the future of the city and the need for peace but she refuses to change her mind. Tobias enters the city and meets with his mother. Just as David is about to shoot Tris, Caleb jumps in front and takes the bullets for his sister, giving her enough time to activate the memory serum. ![]() David shows up and we have their exchange about her mother. Tris enters the Weapons Lab and is able to resist the death serum. Instead we get David which allows us to learn a bit more about her mother before he kills her but that all rings hollow. If it was all about being selfless she would have let Tris be able to resist the death serum long enough to activate the memory serum but then have her succumb to its grip. I've read Veronica Roth's explanation and I understand what she was trying to do but there were better ways to accomplish it. It felt like a contrived plot device to kill off Tris. Tris survives the death serum only to be killed by a few bullets. ![]() There was so much potential here but it was wasted. I read it over twice more and was disappointed. I read the ending the first time and was dismayed. I read through Allegiant and then it happened, the ending. Divergent and Insurgent were well written and built up well to the conclusion that was going to happen in Allegiant. ![]() ![]() I read all three books in quick succession. ![]()
