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...
