Oh my goodness! This book brought back all the pain, but all the laughter and good times as well. It took place before the worst of things happened, but also after. It was interesting to see their love story from Tobias’ perspective. Definitely read this!

This takes place in a dystopian society that goes to war so there is much that is not the way it should be. There are still less deaths than in the other stories and it’s really the mildest of the series.blackwolfandi's review against another edition

Really liked the fast pace of the book. I also loved to read Four's point of view. It does really complete the Divegrent series tho it was a bit odd for me bc I only saw the movie yet. I am looking forward to read the Divergent series too. I gave it a 4.25 only bc yeah I loved it and everything but this was not a 5 star book (for me). Perfect book for starting to be a bookworm ❤

A nice little book that provides Four’s side of the story. It’s a must-read for fans of Divergent and it’s neat to see how the story might have turned out if Tobias was the protagonist. I was annoyed with how many times Tris was described as a “sMoL fRaGiLe bEaN”. Please, Veronica Roth, no.

The premise of this book is simple: Divergent from Four’s perspective. This meant that even with his backstory, you sort of knew what was going to happen. But it was still enjoyable and detailed. The only ‘problem’ I have with it is the scenes Roth decided to tell from Four’s perspective (meaning the 3 scenes at the end of the book, not in The Traitor). Maybe they have a deeper meaning but they just seemed like really random scenes to choose and I would have liked to see more/different scenes. But really, I can’t complain. This is a really cool idea for a book and was really interesting to read.

It’s been a while since I read the saga so I’m not sure it isn’t repetitive. That said, I found Four’s character very interesting, very real. He’s just a boy that’s finding out what kind of person does he want to be. That is until we get to the Divergent book part. He turns from a real living person to the perfect love interest’s shell. He empties a bit.
Still had a lot of fun reading. Def a nice fan service type of book.

"I want some kind of reminder that while wounds heal, they don't disappear forever- I carry them everywhere, always, and that is the way of things, the way of scars."
Four is my favorite character in this series so of course I liked this novella.
