This book is a series of novellas that are told in the first person
from Tobias Eaton's point of view forming a prequel to the Divergent
series documenting Four's
own initiation and the rivalry between he and Eric. The final
section parallels Tris' arrival at Dauntless.
The book assumes the reader has read the Divergent Series and would
be hard to follow without that prior knowledge. For Divergent fans
this is a useful addition
to the canon.
One is disposed to like Four and reading this book brings him back to
us. The fact that he here admits to and confronts his own frailties,
vulnerabilities, and misgivings somehow makes him more real to us.
Having seen the movie versions one cannot help but picture him as
Theo James.
