I am not Tobias Eaton, not anymore, never again. I am Dauntless.

Four: The Initiate

I really like these short stories. They give an interesting outlook into who Tobias is, and what he does throughout the series.

We see some of Four’s training. I wish there was a full length prequel about Four.

           Ew povero Amar. Ma devo dire che per il resto di questo libro non mi è importato molto. Pensavo la Roth avrebbe approfondito di più Four con questi "libri" su di lui, invece mi sembra che per ora Four sia molto più piatto di come era nei libri della saga di Divergent.

This one is probably one my favourites of the anthology, along with The Traitor. It show us the path of Four through initiation. 

An interesting point is that in this story, a lot of secondary characters of the trilogy appear as almost main characters in here. Four's initiation is Eric's and Shauna's and Zeke's too.

It's amazing how Tobias deals with feelings or thoughts he'd never had in his former faction, Abnegation. Also, he is free from his abusive father's ward, so there is a lot going on through his mind.

I had an amazing time with this story because I learned a lot about Tobias, things I didn't imagine while reading the trilogy.
