Hey guys, I recently re-read Four by Veronica Roth which are short stories from Divergent in Fours' point of view. I loved the Divergent trilogy so when she came out with stories from Fours' point of view I fell in love all over again.

One choice. 
One choice breaks free of his past.
One choice embraces his future.
One choice changes him - forever.
One choice will free him.

Two years before Beatrice Prior made her choice, the sixteen-year-old-son of Abnegation's faction leader did the same. Tobias's transfer to dauntless is a chance to begin again. Here, he will not be called the name his parents gave him. Here, he will not let fear turn him into a cowering child.

Newly christened "Four," he discovers during initiation that he will succeed in Dauntless. Initiation is only the beginning though; Four must claim his place in the Dauntless hierarchy. His decisions will affect future initiates as well as uncover secrets that could threaten his own future - and the future of the entire faction system.

Two years later, Four is poised to take action, but the course is still unclear. The first new initiate who jumps into the net might change all that. With her, the way to righting their world might become clear. With her, it might become possible to become Tobias again. 

I love that the stories all take place during defining moments in his life. From escaping his father and his faction to becoming successful as an initiate and then in his new faction to meeting Tris. We always new that Four was dark, damaged and broken. Now we know why. We have a better understanding of his past, and a window into his head.

The writing in these stories was incredible and I will definitely keep re-reading this book.
