Divergent cliffhanger: Not cool
Insurgent cliffhanger: WHYYYYY??????
Divergent #3: I hope there's not one

It seems like in every book in the YA genre there is a cliffhanger.

IKR they set you up for a great story then BOOM!!! you have to wait a year or more to see what will happen

Misha (gravemishy) | 10 comments That's like the end of Hades. The cliffhanger was evil. I guess strategically thinking it is a great idea, to get peope to keep reading. But they are EVIL!

I really wish they wouldn't though... :)


message 7: by Misha (new)

Misha (gravemishy) | 10 comments Agreed :)

Aisha (aishaa101) | 87 comments but isn't it trilogy? so the last one wouldn't have a terrible cliffhanger right *gets worried*


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

that would be... I can't even fathom that...


message 10: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahelainereads) well, think about it. If there were no cliffhangers you wouldn't be that excited to read the next one....

Serena | 5 comments Oh you would be, a chiffhanger is really when a author isn't sure of how their writing would stand up without it - think about how you think, what sticks to you at the end is the end, not if the story was a good one but if the conclusion was satisfying. If there is a cliffhanger - it isn't really a conclusion.

I have read books in a series of 10+ (quite a lot of them) some use a cliffhanger, some do not, some simply lead on "into the sunrise " meaning the hint of another adventure that leads to another book.

FallingAngels | 2 comments I love cliffhangers. Pandemonium... WHY? (Still waiting for Requiem) There won't be one for three, because it's the last book *sobs*


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

it would definitely stink if the last one was a cliffhanger ._.

Riya I love cliffhangers and they work really well, but I think Allegiant will need great closure.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

If Allegiant ends without completion someone hold my earrings there will be blood


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

i know right? but I'm afraid it will end with death of a main character...


message 17: by Riya (new)

Riya If she sets it up right it might work, but I think she knows that there's a lot riding on this book now!

Bethany | 6 comments Veronica wants you to read the next book because if you didn't have a cliff hanger you wouldn't crave the next book as much
