Well, you probably know by now that I wasn't too fond of the series so far. However, I had hoped that the final part would turn things around as I saw a lot of potential in the story.
But I ended up disappointed. I'll begin with the novel. First of all, I felt like even Veronica Roth had given up on the whole thing by now. For a long stretch of the final book she wasn't making an effort at all. She decided to split the chapters in two points of view. Some chapters are told from Tris' view, some from Four's. However, the chapter were barely distinguishable. Often I had already read half the chapter before I realized that it's not a Tris but a Four chapter.
In general there's still a lot of whining going on - now not only by Tris but also to a large extent by her annoying boyfriend. I can't bring myself to like any of the two characters and they both make for terrible heroes.
The story could have been strong, intense and thought-provoking but ultimately it was weird and didn't make too much sense. Furthermore, the outcome was rather predictable.
