This book has four stories, told from the perspective of
Four from the Divergent series. The
first three take place before Divergent and the last story coincides with
Divergent, but we get to see what’s happening from Four’s perspective instead
of Tris. We get an in-depth look at some
of the trauma that Four faced as a child and what led to his choice to join
Dauntless. We also get to see what led
to his discovery of the Divergent, how he ends up training new faction members
and why he becomes interested in the rebellion.
In some ways, I liked this better than the other books in the series,
maybe because of the novella style of the book, which has always appealed to
me. In any case, fans of the series will
like this book. This book could be read
at any time. It explains enough of the
world that teens who have not read the series will understand what’s going on
and since most of it happens before Divergent chronologically, it doesn’t give
much away. Teens who like dystopian
books will like this story.
