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.

4.25

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 ❤

4.0

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.

One thing I can say is that Four is a much more interesting protagonist than I think Tris ever was.

This novella is formulated really well. I enjoyed that it was broken up into segments throughout Tobias's life and how he went from Abnegation to Dauntless, from a "Stiff" to someone that other initiates looked up to and emulated - Tris included.

When I reached the end, I felt a wave of disappointment. I realize that the "after Tris" story is summarized at the end of Allegiant, but I had hoped for a little more expounding on that timeline.

This was enjoyable to read, but left me with questions I didn't even know I had after finishing the Divergent series (which I've read more than once). I would love for the author to one day write an extension with Tobias's perspective for each of the books--and after...
