{Cover Reveal} Veronica Roth's ALLEGIANT is finally unveiled! [And movie stills!]

Today marks the big event we've all been waiting for...

the cover to the final Divergent book has been revealed!

The news is so big that it was revealed live on The Today Show,

then shared via major sites like Entertainment Weekly and celeb gossib sites such as Perez Hilton!

This is the cover reveal of the year, folks!

Are you ready to see it?

Are you, are you?

One choice will define you.
What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

A free preview of ALLEGIANT is coming September 3rd before the final book drops on October 22nd, and the wait is practically unbearable.

HarperCollins is doing a bang-up publicity job, though.  First, they revealed the title.  Then, they hinted at when the cover would be coming.  Today, it was revealed to the world on live tv!

What are your thoughts about the cover?

The color is so different than I anticipated, but has a very sickly, deadly feel to it...very dystopian.  It could also be the light of something new, so the color works both ways.

  The city in the background is more focused and prominent now, though still shadowy in the background, tying it to the other two books in the series.

And that symbol!!!  Ahh, it's not what ANYONE expected.  What do you think it means!?  Can you wait?  I can't!  

And while we're on the subject of DIVERGENT...

Did you see the first movie still that Entertainment Weekly unveiled a couple of weeks ago?

 

What are your early thoughts?

I'm ridiculously glad that the first still we see is from one of my favorite scenes in the book!

I'm still holding my breath about Shailene Woodley, but Jennifer Lawrence wasn't my first choice, either, so...we'll see!  I just keep telling myself that she was cast in THREE of 2014's most-anticipated movie's, she's got to be a better actor than I give her credit for.  Right...?
