Two years
before Beatrice Prior made her choice, the sixteen-year-old son of Abnegation’s
faction leader did the same. Tobias’s transfer to Dauntless is a chance to
begin again. Here, he will not be called the name his parents gave him. Here,
he will not let fear turn him into a cowering child.
Newly christened “Four,” he discovers during initiation that he will succeed in Dauntless. Initiation is only the beginning, though; Four must claim his place in the Dauntless hierarchy. His decisions will affect future initiates as well as uncover secrets that could threaten his own future—and the future of the entire faction system.
Two years later, Four is poised to take action, but the course is still unclear. The first new initiate who jumps into the net might change all that. With her, the way to righting their world might become clear. With her, it might become possible to be Tobias once again.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth comes a companion volume to the worldwide bestselling DIVERGENT series, told from the per-spective of the immensely popular character Tobias. The four pieces included here—THE TRANSFER, THE INITIATE, THE SON, and THE TRAITOR—plus three additional exclusive scenes, give readers an electrifying glimpse into the history and heart of Tobias, and set the stage for the epic saga of the DIVERGENT trilogy.

It had been
a couple of years since I had read the Divergent trilogy and I really loved the
series, especially the first two books in the trilogy. Up until now I had never
read any of the novellas but this year my mom gifted Four to me for Christmas. And immediately I got excited to read and
emerge myself again into the Divergent world.
This
compilation of short stories don’t really deliver any new information, most of
it you already found out by reading the Divergent trilogy. It is more like an extra;
you got to experience some of the things from Four’s point of view. But it wasn’t
the same thing repeated just from a different point of view. It showed how he
experienced some of the events, for example how he made the decision to join
Dauntless and how he found out about the attack on abnegation. I also loved
that we got to see more of his personality, of his friendship with Zeke and
Shauna.
I always
used to love Four while reading Divergent; he’s such an interesting and
complicated character. And this collection of scenes proved again why it is
that I liked him so much.
Four is a fun collection of scenes and if you like
the Divergent world than I would definitely recommend it that you read it.
