Allegiant

Allegiant is the last book in the Divergent series. The series is about a girl named Tris who is a Divergent. It is about how she was part of the dauntless faction but the Erudite wanted power and eventually there was war. Soon, there are no factions anymore and everyone is trying to survive. In Allegiant there is tension between the factionless and the members of the old factions because they want different things.  The author of the book is Veronica Roth. She is most known for writing Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant.

Veronica Roth attended Carleton College for a year. She transferred to Northwestern University for the creative writing program they had. She wrote Divergent during her senior year at Northwestern University. The book was very successful and her career took off. The movie rights for the book were sold before she graduated from college. She was 22 years old when Divergent made it to the New York Times best sellers.

Veronica Roth was inspired to write Divergent because of multiple reasons. One of the reasons was because of something she had learned in Psychology 101. She learned that "Exposure therapy is a technique in behavior therapy intended to treat anxiety disorders and involves the exposure to the feared object or context without any danger in order to overcome their anxiety." This is where she got the idea for Dauntless initiation. Another reason was because of a song called Sweet Sacrifice by Evanescence. At one part of the song she got a picture of a girl jumping off a roof to prove that she was brave. Those are some things that inspired her to write Divergent and the whole trilogy.
