WIAR: Allegiant (spoilers up to page 275ish)

SnShne322 · October 2013

I'm so bored. Really. I won't ask if it gets better because I plan to finish, but OMG. I was excited, but it's just not good at the moment. I think it's too bogged down with the GD vs. GP. I know conflict between Tris and Tobias (JUST CALL HIM FOUR ALREADY) helps a little, but I'm kind of sick of a book and a half of them at odds with each other.

Is anyone else having trouble switching between Tris and Four's POV? I'll get through a page or so and realize I'm reading from the wrong perspective.

ETA: for spelling

Yep, these were my issues too. She didn't do enough to differentiate their voices when writing from the other person's POV. I was constantly flipping back to remember who the hell's perspective I was supposed to be reading from! And so many freakin characters that serve no purpose other than to move the plot along. Disappointing.

Yes, I often found myself flipping back to see which POV I was reading. Their voices were just too similar.

Totally agree. Too many characters, not enough distinction between the voices. If you're not going to put the effort in to change it up, at least use a different font or something.

Yep.

Yes, yes, a million times YES.

And yes, the switching back and forth was awful and confusing and bad.

I had the same issues with the beginning. Also, what was with the witty banter between Tris and Four near the beginning? Tris and Four are so not witty banter people. I felt like I wasn't even reading the same series I started. However, I just finished last night and the end really wowed me. There may still be a light at the end of the tunnel for you too.

I hated the switching POVs. And I did not like Tris&Tobias in this book. At all.

SnShne322 · October 2013

I hate that I keep finding reasons not to read. I still have 250ish pages and laundry sounds more appealing than reading this book.

I am flying through this one just as fast as I read the first two. I don't seem to be having the issues that everyone else has with it. I started it this morning and I have about 1/4 of the book left to read.

I AM SO BORED

I like it so far. I find the whole experiment thing absolutely fascinating. I do agree about the voices. I keep getting confused.
