Four: A Divergent Collections by Veronica Roth


Title: Four: A Divergent Collection
Author: Veronica Roth
Pages: 208


Two years before Beatrice Prior made her choice, the sixteen-year-old son of Abnegation’s faction leader did the same. Tobias’s transfer to Dauntless is a chance to begin again. Here, he will not be called the name his parents gave him. Here, he will not let fear turn him into a cowering child.

Newly christened “Four,” he discovers during initiation that he will succeed in Dauntless. Initiation is only the beginning, though; Four must claim his place in the Dauntless hierarchy. 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.

Two years later, Four is poised to take action, but the course is still unclear. The first new initiate who jumps into the net might change all that. With her, the way to righting their world might become clear. With her, it might become possible to be Tobias once again.
My Rating:✰✰✰✰

This book made me feel so many things and gave me this strong nostalgia for the Divergent trilogy. This book features the short novellas told from Four's point of view from when he was younger up until the time that Divergent takes place. This review won't be too long and won't have any traces of spoilers since I don't have much to say other than how much I loved this book.

I loved this book so much and it gave me so many feels. Reading about a young Tobias and what he had to go through really hit me hard and I couldn’t help but think of Tris who would be making the same transfer two years later. He seemed so innocent and I loved how this book showed his development and growth.

Of course the writing was great, just like Veronica Roth’s style. I really felt like I knew Four more and am so happy that I do. This book gives us a more understanding of his past and what really went down before Divergent took place. There were connections to Divergent and I loved how Veronica did that.

I’m really happy that this got to be a book and I can’t wait for what Veronica has next for us. <4
