Four is the male protagonist of the divergent series. Since the series is narrated from the perspective of the female protagonist, Tris, we don't get to know much about this character's side of the story.
This book is dedicated to Four or Tobias Eaton. It talks about his life before and after changing factions. The narration was lucid and the language was simple. The author had a way of keeping the reader hooked even though there wasn't much of an element of surprise as this is just an add on to the series.
But the best part, hands down, was the character development of Four. From a little boy who was a victim of domestic abuse and losing his mom, he really turned his life around in a new faction. I loved the way he pushed through all his obstacles and emerged as one of the best in his training. He was unabashed in his goal even when his personal life was a mess. Loved the spirit and determination of the character.
If you have read and loved the Divergent series you should definitely pick this up!

A trilogia Divergente foi uma história bastante marcante que adorei ler, pelo que quando surgiu a oportunidade de ter este livro que nos conta um pouco mais sobre Quatro, um dos protagonistas da trilogia, não hesitei. É sempre bom ler-se a história de outra perspectiva para além da protagonista que nos é oferecida neste livro. No entanto, não é só nisso que se baseia. Quatro conta-nos a história do Tobias antes de ser Quatro e o que aconteceu para ele se tornar quem é. Complementa muito bem a história original para além de nos ajudar a compreender uma das suas peças fundamentais. Adorei tanto que foi grande a pena do livro ser tão pequeno. Por mim, a autora continuava a contar toda a história que conhecia por parte do Quatro :)
A good insight into how Four's life before Divergent. A good prequel. The duel POV in Allegiant did not do it for me as I forget whose POV I read from. Four's POV in Allegiant lack his presence but in this book I really felt his character more
First of,four is my favourite character out of this series
I did love this side novel to the Divergent series.We learn throughout the series that Four is abused by his dad and I thought it this book that Abnegation would be about that and there relationship together growing up but it wasn't and I was a small bit disappointed
OVERALL= Loved it mostly except the Abnegation short story

I don’t know that this was needed, but I did enjoy the first 2/3rsds.
Once we stopped Fours backstory into Dauntless and moves into some of his POV in Divergent, I didn’t care as much.
His actual backstory was interesting, but I felt the whole novella was pretty meh.

I loved seeing the other side of this story. In this book, we follow the life of four, a prequel to the Divergent series.
You read this book after you finish tearing through the divergent series and need more.
It doesn’t really add much to the story, but you still read it.

Tris enters the picture around page 200, so you get some back story & then an abrupt ending. This is really not another whole book, but just some pieces to fill out the main trilogy. Good for being able to experience the favorite characters again & as a light read.
