What made me go from being annoyed about it, to actually agreeing with Veronica Roth on the subject and fully understanding why she’d done it, was an interview I listened to where Veronica Roth’s agent discussed the Allegiant ending. To be fair to her, it sounds as if she spent a considerable amount of time deliberating the subject. This was because, she felt that it was right for Tris as a character to die to the extent that the ending would not have been right otherwise. She explains she didn’t feel that it was right for her to save Tris from death, even though as the writer, she could have done so.
Source: Divergent WikiaĪ few months back, I read Veronica Roth’s blog post on the subject. For months, I thought, why did you do that? What a stupid choice. I think it was so well written, that it was almost like she was someone I knew, therefore in ways, I felt I’d lost a friend to death. To start with, I was shocked and annoyed that Tris died. The amount of reaction that ending evoked in fans was pretty massive. Lockhart and Wolf Cry by Julia Golding (which I have to point out for those who are familiar with Julia Golding, that Wolf Cry is completely different from and way more serious than her Cat Royal books).Īnyhow, it was a big shock to the book world when Tris died. I would go as far as to say, that of all the books I’ve read, Allegiant upset me the most, closely followed by We Were Liars by E. Okay, now I’ve removed the possibility of wrecking the ending for people, I’ll go ahead and say it: I can’t believe she killed Tris! I mean, how many authors kill off their main characters? So maybe there are a few, but I think as readers, we sort of have the expectation that the main characters at least, will make it out of situations that most normal people could never survive.
