3.74 AVERAGE


This book isn't exceptional. It's another book that seems to scream that the author is trying to squeeze more money out of a popular series. I didn't hate it. At least it did what the other three books in the series couldn't; it made me care about Four/Tobias. I still don't think he's right for Tris (especially the Tris in the first book,) but at least hearing about Marcus and Evelyn from his point of view made me sympathize with him, rather than just pitying him (while still disliking him) like I did in the other books. Seriously though, why didn't he tell Tris's parents that Abnegation was going to be attacked? They would have believed him. Instead he just slunk back to Dauntless without making sure that someone who would believe him was aware of the danger. Why even bother having him know if he wasn't even going to meet with Tris's parents or otherwise do something useful?

It was definantly very interesting to read the prequel and the first couple of meetings with tris from Tobias perspective. They were short but I liked them. Now I just have to wait for the DVD release here in Germany!

Es la primera historia corta que leo xD
Me ha gustado mucho ver la perspectiva de Four en la escena de los cuchillos, y me encanto ver lo que sentía por Tris, desde su perspectiva :)

Kind of interesting to get a back story on Four. But once we get to more of the current timeline it’s pretty repetitive to the rest of the books.

Si bien la historia de amor de Tris y Cuatro me pareció totalmente innecesaria para la trama, si que fue entretenida. Así que leer del personaje fue un acercamiento a un protagonista interesante al que solo se le veía como el sex appeal de la saga.

El libro fue el cierre (o apertura) al personaje en dónde se le pudo conocer de una manera más profunda entendiendo así todo el contexto de la saga principal.

نخوندن این کتاب ضربه‌ای به روند داستان یا فهمش وارد نمی‌کرد. چیز جدیدی نداشت، همون چیزایی که تو کتابای قبل خونده بودیم از زبون فور.
فقط چیزی که نفهمیدم جهشای زمانی بود. یهو دو سال می‌پرید جلو، بعد دو ماه می‌رفت عقب، بعد سه ماه می‌رفت جلو...

Fue muy interesante leer un montón de hechos que sucedían en Divergente desde la perspectiva de Cuatro, y todavía mas leer que pasaba por la mente de Tobias en la iniciación, cuando tuvo que elegir, en las simulaciones, y enterarnos de cosas que nunca se dijeron a lo largo de la saga. Obviamente que no es un libro que tenga la emoción de la saga en general, ya que es la unión de historias cortas, pero igualmente fue agradable leerlo.

I enjoyed the book but I'd only recommend this for fans of the Divergent series. The book is presented from Fours point of view and covers the time two years prior and during Divergent. There are some interesting pieces of information but it feels like the publisher is trying to squeeze the last buck from the fans of the series.

🌶 Spice level 1/5

It was both interesting and boring. I don’t even know. I like the character, and it’s interesting to learn about his struggles. But it’s still not interesting enough for me to want to read a whole book about it.
