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.

"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.

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...
