Seeing more of his back story only made me like him more. I remember falling in love with Four’s character the second we met him in Divergent. I love Divergent, and getting back into that story was a fun ride. I’m glad I read this after reading the ridiculous disappointment that was Allegiant, since it falls in the “world before the stupidity of Allegiant happened”. I absolutely loved getting to know Four better. At some point, he was a scared Abnegation boy with a name that was a curse who just wanted a way out.

He wasn’t always able to throw knives so precisely that he could just nick Tris’ ear when taunted by Eric, wasn’t always capable of teaching new initiates how to fight. When reading Divergent, it’s easy to forget that Four was not always a Dauntless legend with only four fears. The man whose knuckles I know better than his embrace.

No, it won’t, I think, and then I swallow the thought down, because I know where it comes from: the childish part of me that is afraid of the man holding court in the living room. If choosing Abnegation won’t lead me to a life of ecstatic happiness, at least it will lead me to a comfortable place. There are four factions I don’t know or trust, with practices I don’t understand, and only one that is familiar, predictable, comprehensible. The four pieces included here-THE TRANSFER, THE INITIATE, THE SON, and THE TRAITOR-plus three additional exclusive scenes, give readers an electrifying glimpse into the history and heart of Tobias, and set the stage for the epic saga of the DIVERGENT trilogy. With her, it might become possible to be Tobias once again.įrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth comes a companion volume to the worldwide bestselling DIVERGENT series, told from the per-spective of the immensely popular character Tobias. With her, the way to righting their world might become clear. The first new initiate who jumps into the net might change all that. Two years later, Four is poised to take action, but the course is still unclear.

His decisions will affect future initiates as well as uncover secrets that could threaten his own future-and the future of the entire faction system. Initiation is only the beginning, though Four must claim his place in the Dauntless hierarchy. Newly christened “Four,” he discovers during initiation that he will succeed in Dauntless. Here, he will not let fear turn him into a cowering child. Here, he will not be called the name his parents gave him. Tobias’s transfer to Dauntless is a chance to begin again. Two years before Beatrice Prior made her choice, the sixteen-year-old son of Abnegation’s faction leader did the same.
