Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth
My rating: [rating=4]

I really enjoyed the different perspective and the little bit of backstory about Four. You learn a little bit about why he left Abnegation, why he and Eric don’t get along, and what is going through his mind during the time he is Tris’ initiation instructor. Obviously that means this book does have portions from Divergent so you should at least read Divergent before reading this book.
There are some interesting plot points that, had Four decided differently, would have completely changed how the war would have begun. It may have even altered the fates of some of the transfers in Tris’ unit.
I probably haven’t read the other books since Divergent was in theaters so some of the conversations between Tris and Four are a little fuzzy. I feel like some of the things they say to each other were different between the two books but I could be mistaken. Honestly it doesn’t really matter, it was a fun read regardless.
