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.

I will never grow tired when talking about Tobias. This is his book and that is why it will always be such a standout addition to the Divergent series as a whole. It’s such a great read especially to get complex insight into one of if not THE best character. 
Also brownie points for the forth book of the series being named “Four” because that is accurate to both the book order and the name he goes by.
