Four

a Divergent Collection
Nov 26, 2016DBRL_KrisA rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: those who have already read the Divergent trilogy, or at least the first book. These stories assume a familiarity with the various factions, and other information you discover in the trilogy. Also, there are definitely spoilers for the original series in this book. The four short stories that make up the majority of this volume are a prequel of sorts for the Divergent trilogy, telling some of the back story for Four. Roth writes in the introduction that she had initially intended to write the series from the point of view of Four, but it wasn't until she switched to Tris's POV that the writing began to flow. Nevertheless, these four stories are a good insight into what makes Four the man he is, and give the reader more information on the Dauntless faction and some of the other Dauntless characters from the trilogy. A really great addition to the original series, but not necessary reading to understand the plot of the trilogy.
