Editoral Review
Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth is a thrilling addition to the Divergent series that explores the backstory of one of the most beloved characters in the series, Tobias Eaton (known as Four). This collection of short stories was first published on July 8, 2014, and is a must-read for fans of the series.
Veronica Roth is an American novelist and short-story writer known for her dystopian fiction. She rose to fame with the publication of the Divergent series, which was adapted into a successful film franchise.
In Four: A Divergent Story Collection, Roth continues to showcase her ability to create engrossing characters and immersive worlds. Set in the same world as the Divergent series, Four: A Divergent Story Collection consists of four short stories that provide a glimpse into the past and present of Tobias Eaton.
The stories depict significant events in his life, such as his initiation into the Dauntless faction, his struggle with his cruel father, and his decision to leave the faction to join the rebellion. Roth’s writing is engaging and action-packed, propelling the reader forward through each story.
The characters in the book are well-developed, especially Tobias, who is portrayed as both vulnerable and strong. His relationships with fellow characters are also explored, adding depth to their interactions.
One of the strengths of Four: A Divergent Story Collection is its ability to shed light on certain aspects of the Divergent series that were left unexplored. Through the short stories, we get a better understanding of the world and its factions, as well as the motivations and struggles of various characters.
However, one of the weaknesses of the book is that it may not be as compelling for readers who are not already fans of the Divergent series. The plot relies heavily on knowledge of the main series, and the short stories may not provide enough context for new readers to fully appreciate the significance of certain events.
Overall, Four: A Divergent Story Collection is a well-written and engaging addition to the Divergent series. Fans of the series will appreciate the opportunity to learn more about one of their favorite characters, while newcomers to the series may find the book a bit confusing.
We recommend this book to all fans of the Divergent series, and give it a solid rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
