It’s been a while since I read the saga so I’m not sure it isn’t repetitive. That said, I found Four’s character very interesting, very real. He’s just a boy that’s finding out what kind of person does he want to be. That is until we get to the Divergent book part. He turns from a real living person to the perfect love interest’s shell. He empties a bit.
Still had a lot of fun reading. Def a nice fan service type of book.

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...
