I’ve read 7/10 🙂 I don’t think I’ll ever read “Allegiant” though…
Why not?
I was a little disappointed with Insurgent, and not motivated to finish the series. I’ll definitely watch the films, though! We’re you satisfied with the series conclusion?
I was! I reviewed it over the summer. I thought it was a really well done series with a satisfying ending (though a lot of people will disagree with me on that).
