I'm kinda peed off that I've spent God knows how many hours reading this series for <b>that</b> to be how the trilogy ends. Yeah, I gathered from the average rating that something happened that the readers weren't happy with but I didn't see that coming!

As a romance reader I'm definitely hacked off that it didn't end with sunshine and roses but at the same time I guess that with where the plot was going from the end of book 2 that there was no other way that it could end.

Being brutally honest, I'm just going to chuck out Insurgent and Allegiant and keep Divergent and think of it as a stand alone where Tris and Tobias live HEA.

I haven't played but have heard of the games and how popular they are. So I can't comment on how accurate it is. As a stand alone Thriller TV series it's really well done. HBO don't spare expense on their shows and it is the same here. Huge sets really immerse you into the Post apocalyptic world of the future. Felt a lot like the Walking Dead sets in scale.
The cast is good especially the two lead characters. The story is interesting and will grip you. Although some episodes take place at different times occasionally with different characters but they really bring the story to life. Check it out whether you have played the games or not.

Once again, I have not been disappointed by Jane Casey; she has delivered and written an excellent book that I really enjoyed. Great story line that is full of suspense and keeps you enthralled. The characters are fantastic and believable; I particularly like the working relationship between Kerrigan and Derwent which comes across as being very genuine. Highly recommended read to anyone and you don't have to have read the previous books in the series as this holds up as a stand-alone however, I would suggest you do as you won't be disappointed.

A massive thank you to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

A wonderful Sequel... For a Sequel
Although i appreciate the film as a whole i was sadly expecting more. Although it isnt a terrible film and still holds to the elegance and spy classics presented in the original film, it still lacked a slight originality of its own and relied on many gimmicks to deliver good jokes. Much of the interesting scenes seemed to be cut short or have awkward interludes stuck between the action. The acting was fantastic and I love a good spy movie but I can only really appreciate this film in terms of the sequel to the original rather than a stand alone film of its own.
