UGH, DIVERGENT! Let me explain that I have not read the third book and I may never do so. I really liked the first two books despite some obvious issues and DNWs. I LOVED Tris and Four/Tris and then I got spoiled about what happens in the third book. HOW DO YOU KILL HER?! HOW?! HOW IS THAT A THING?! WTF WAS THE POINT OF HER WHOLE JOURNEY THEN?! And that's not even getting into the ridiculousness of that plot.
I doubt I'll ever read the third book, though I do have it because I bought it before I got spoiled. Maybe I'll use it as a big paperweight or something, idk. BUT I'M JUST SO PISSED AND I DIDN'T EVEN READ IT SO I FEEL FOR YOU! I still want the movie though but I kinda hope it doesn't do too well so they don't make sequels. Just give me this first one and then stop there.
TVD is frustrating and my investment is down to like two characters but I'm still watching. As long as they don't kill Katherine or get rid of Bonnie, we'll be good.
omg don't read the third book SAVE YOURSELF. There was some good Four/Tris stuff in between all the fuckery, but there was just so much fuckery. I still can't even at the "genetic experiment" reveal. Oh Veronica Roth, we could have had it all.

lol PREACH. Though I would be okay with also getting the sequel? I loved martyr!Tris okay I have no shame.

mte. I'm still vaguely interested in Stefan but every time they do something interesting with his character, they erase it two episodes later. OH AMNESIA STEFAN WE HARDLY KNEW YOU.
I'd love to see some of the 2nd book in movie form (assuming I actually like the first movie. Just because I dug the first book doesn't mean they won't screw up the film version.) but if they're going to make sequels, it won't just be the one, you know? And unless they plan on changing almost everything about the third book, I don't want it to ever be made into a movie.
I still have fondness for most of the TVD characters but given how poorly they're all treated, I had to pick the ones I'd invest in. Last season, it was Rebekah and Bonnie and now it's Bonnie and Katherine.
I loved it so much--it's clearly the shittier version of THG but I like Tris enough and Four is so hot and the pace was so quick. And I really even liked the end of the second book because I thought the Edith Prior video was going to lead to some awesome revelation about the outside world being this cray wasteland or something and then....Allegient happened.
YES GOD. Insurgent gave me martyr!Tris and Four and Tris being hot and making out all the time and then Allegient happened and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
FOUR'S CHOICES WERE JUST THE WORST CHOICES LOOOOL. I mean in isolation I think I could have dealt with it? But in combination with all the rest of the fuckery in that book, I mean of course he did.
I was astounded that Tris died because it was just so stupid? And then she never came back to life and I was like .............. why did you do this? Did you do this just to be different and shocking, Veronica Roth?
I read the first book and I liked it, but I had a really hard time suspending my disbelief in their world. I couldn't believe that a society would ever let itself be formed that way because human beings are not like that, they are never one thing, and there was no hint as to how come it was like this. I decided at that point that I should probably just leave well enough alone and not read any further. If it hadn't been for the main relationships I probably wouldn't have finished Divergent.

I have decided to just start assuming PK will be named to the team in order to keep my sanity. Hopefully this will not go wrong for me moving forward.
