The second story, The Transfer, was released on September 3, 2013. The first story of the collection, Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene, was released as an e-book on April 23, 2012. At the same time, I'm not sure how well those scenes would have transformed into independent story arcs.Four: A Divergent Collection is a collection of five short stories from the Divergent trilogy, told from Tobias Eaton's (Four) perspective, and written by Veronica Roth. I am frustrated that there were a few scenes from Divergent that I really wanted to hear from Four's perspective that Roth did not include. He enhanced Roth's writing and really brought it to life. Any additional comments? Aaron Stanford has captured the essence of Four. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wish I could have listened to the audiobook in one setting, but the reality of life intervened. Which scene was your favorite? I will avoid spoilers.Four's Fear Landscape was by far the best scene. While she still had Four waxing philosophical as Tris did, he had a much more male edge to his voice. The first of the novellas in the book also suffered from the same lack of differentiation, but the other stories were much more obviously Four's voice.
While his thoughts were clearly his own, Roth didn't successfully vary her writing to differentiate between Four and Tris. I was about turn off my phone when I heard, "Keep listening for more." Really? More? Yes!!!! There were three additional stories that were not in the book!!!! What did you like best about this story? In Allegiant, Four's voice wasn't very well developed. Would you consider the audio edition of Four to be better than the print version? I read the book first, then I listened to the audiobook. Surprise!!!! THREE EXTRA stories on the audiobook! The fourth story, "The Traitor", runs parallel with the events of Divergent, giving listeners a glimpse into the decisions of loyalty - and love - that Tobias makes in the weeks after he meets Tris Prior. The first three pieces in this volume - "The Transfer", "The Initiate", and "The Son" - follow Tobias's transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, his Dauntless initiation, and the first clues that a foul plan is brewing in the leadership of two factions. When taken together, these long narrative pieces illuminate the defining moments in Tobias' life. Listeners will find more of this charismatic character's backstory told from his own perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection. His voice is an integral part of Allegiant. Listeners first encountered Tobias as "Four" in Divergent. Fans of the Divergent series by number-one New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth will be thrilled by Four: A Divergent Collection, a companion volume that includes four pre-Divergent stories told from Tobias' point of view.
