I absolutely loved this book! Everything was from Tobias' point of view! The Transfer was emotional as Tobias has to choose whether to remain in his faction of Abnegation under his father's cruelty or escape it by choosing another faction. In The Initiate we see Tobias adapt to life as a Dauntless in training with the help of Amar. In The Son, Tobias is officially a Dauntless and is suspicious of a conspiracy between Max, Eric and Jeanine Matthews. Also someone from his past resurfaces. The Traitor takes place halfway through Divergent from Tobias' point of view and it was amazing to see all of Tobias' emotions and feelings! They were also 3 additional short scenes at the end of this book making it absolutely amazing and perfect for fans of the Divergent series!

There really isn't much that I have to say about this book since it's merely a compilation of short stories told from Four—or Tobias's—point of view, but there are a couple of things that I really admire this Veronica Roth's Four.
Good Points

There really isn't much that I have to say about this book since it's merely a compilation of short stories told from Four—or Tobias's—point of view, but there are a couple of things that I really admire this Veronica Roth's Four.
Tobias's character is the first. I really like the fact that I finally understand who he is as an individual. In the Divergent books, I could not really grasp his persona because his actions and words are interlaced with Tris. So to speak, the Tobias that I read in those books are defined by Tris. However, in this compilation, I learn Tobias's voice, how his mind functions, what he thinks of everything that is happening around him. I learn about his beliefs, his virtues, what he values—what he truly fears. I hear his opinions sans the involvement of Tris's character, or her own input about a certain matter.

Starting two years before the events in Divergent, Four is a collection of stories detailing the life of Tobias aka Four as he made the same decision to transfer factions. There’s four short stories plus a few scenes from Divergent retold from Four’s POV included.
Even though this was a collection of short stories, it still read, at least to me, like a complete book. Four went through the ups and downs, the growth, the self-discovery I would expect from a full novel. Four’s backstory was hinted at throughout the series but getting to read it gave a lot more insight into his character.
The stories all took place before or during Divergent so this book was a prequel and there were no spoilers for Insurgent or Allegiant. It did make me want to re-read those books now that I feel like I have a new view on Four and see if my reaction to some of his actions have changed.
Four’s voice in this collection felt a lot stronger than it did in Allegiant, maybe because the POV wasn’t shared or because this was 100% his story, his journey. There were appearances from a lot of favourite characters, Zeke and Shauna, and(not a favourite) Eric. It was nice to get the chance to see Four making friends and I loved the chance of getting to see Four from his own perspective again as opposed to solely through Tris’s eyes.
