Four Divergent Stories by Veronica Roth

Four Divergent Stories by Veronica Roth
Divergent Trilogy, Divergent Prequels & Companion Story
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books (July 2014)
304 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $10.19)
Book Rating: 5 Stars
Content Note: Includes Graphic Violence

This is a collection of four stories told from the perspective of Four. The first three (The Transfer, The Initiate and The Son) are all prequels to Divergent, and take us through Four’s choosing ceremony, Initiate training and the beginning of his life as a full Dauntless member. Many of these events revolve around people or things referred to in Divergent as a part of Four’s past, and it was nice to see the full story behind many of those references. The last story, The Traitor, is a companion story to Divergent, taking us through Four’s version of many of the events that Tris led us through (excepting the knife-throwing scene available in Free Four), but also adding some that were uniquely Four’s and it was interesting to see what was going on with him during that timeframe. Great extra for those who enjoyed Divergent!
