It is always with trepidation that you go and read the last in a trilogy. Will it finish how it should? Will I be disappointed in the ending? This was especially worrying with this book as some of the reviews have been less than favourable.Well I have to say I loved this book. It was actually the only in the trilogy that I rated with five stars. It is obvious that this can not be held as a standalone this is clearly the ending of a trilogy and I advise no one to read this if they have not read the first two.The first thing that took some getting used to was the two voices that tell this final instalment. It took me a while to get into the fact that Tobias was talking to me rather than Tris. This was probably made harder by the fact that Tobias for me had turned into a wimp in places. He seemed early on to be constantly moaning and to have lost his strength of character. I believe his character is written this way however, to further develop the point the author is trying to make. The book flows brilliantly and the familiar characters are all there. The ending which other reviews found controversial I found perfect. I could not have thought of a more fitting way to end the book and I admire an author that is willing to take these risks with her writing. I felt the end of the book left no questions unanswered and when finished I was completely satisfied. www.bookwormedreviews.com
