Sofia (sofloaf) - Was this overhyped?
- Did the books get better or worse towards the end?
- Was the worldbuilding actually that bad?
- Thoughts on Four/Tris?


Sofia (sofloaf) I thought they definitely got worse. Insurgent was bad and Allegiant was terrible. This series also had some of the worst worldbuilding I've ever seen. The first book was just mindless fun, but after that....
