This was like an epilogue to Allegiant, an ending which I already despised. This didn't help make me feel any better. However, the writing is strong, and although I don't like how things turned out, if that's the story Roth wanted to tell, so be it.
Honestly when I heard Veronica was writing a short five-years-later novella in the Divergent series, I was very excited. I loved the three main books and Four as well, so I could not wait for her to write more in this series, even if it would only be a very short story. I even pre-ordered Carve the Mark, something I don't often do with books, so I could get a physical copy of this little book.
We Can Be Mended is, like I said before, a story that takes place five years after the end of Allegiant. We see lots of our favourite characters again and see what they've been up to for the past five years. It's a very short but sweet story and I really loved being back in this world. I would probably have preferred a longer story though, because this just felt a bit too short, especially near the ending.
But honestly I do no get the hate this story is getting. Sure, Tris would probably not have wanted for Four to end up with Christina, her best friend, because she wanted her to be together with Four forever but we can't have that. So I think she would have been happy for them, because that's the person she is. People can be so negative sometimes, jeez relax people. It's not the end of the world.
