Four: The Traitor audiobook

Because this book runs parallel with the early events in "Divergent", minor spoilers may occur. "How is it possible to live the same story twice, from different vantage points?" This last Four story left me so conflicted, and I have no idea how to write this review. In this story, we follow Tobias as he struggles with the revelations from the previous stories, as well as some new information, while he´s getting to know Tris Prior. Strong, brave, iron-backboned Tris, who (at least in Divergent) is one of my all-time-favorite heroines. “Fear doesn’t shut you down,” I say. “It wakes you up. I’ve seen it. It’s fascinating.” Her eyes in every fear simulation, ice and steel and blue flame. The short, slight girl with the wire-taut arms. A walking contradiction. To see their relationship evolve throughout this short story from Fours point of view was so much fun. "Maybe she and I are the same.""but openness is a habit you form over time, and not a switch you flip whenever you want to"“See if you can figure out why they call me Four.” The door closes behind us, and the room is black. She moves closer to me and says, “What’s your real name?” “See if you can figure that out, too.”"All I have to do is follow her, that’s all I have to do." And that kiss!At the start of this story, it seemed like Four was influenced by the opinions of others, and for a moment I wanted to slap him because it was so unlike the character we´ve seen before. But even if we know the right thing to do, his internal struggles are understandable, based on what he´s gone through. Warn Abnegation and betray your new faction. Don´t warn them, and betray his former faction. "It wasn’t getting the tattoos that made me a faction traitor. It was what they meant to me—an escape from the narrow thinking of any one faction, the thinking that slices away at all the different parts of me, paring me down to just one version of myself.""maybe I failed them when I chose Dauntless, and maybe I’m failing Dauntless now, but I don’t have to fail myself. And I, no matter what faction I’m in, know the right thing to do." This story is definitely a fitting conclusion to Fours short-stories.

Q: I can’t be a pawn. But I’m not sure what I should be instead. (c)Q:She’s not learning the lessons Eric wants her to learn. She’s learning different things, wiser ones. (c)Q:Why do all dead people become heroes in Dauntless? Why do we need them to? Maybe they’re the only ones we can find in a faction of corrupt leaders, competitive peers, and cynical instructors. Dead people can be our heroes because they can’t disappoint us later; they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them. (c)Q:So if loyalty is impossible, what do I strive for instead? (c)

Loved it ...i am so glad i read itNEW QUOTES: OH GOD !!! whats wrong with me . I hated Allegiant and swore not to read anything by Veronica Roth ... But my unhealthy obsession with divergent is making me wanna read it so bad .

The Traitor is where Four meets Tris and we get to know how he feels about Tris from his POV. I liked it but I didn't love it because I have never liked Tris's character. I love all these short stories from Four's POV. Only if the whole Divergent series could have been from Four's POV that would have been great. I know initially, it was supposed to be from Four's POV but it never went ahead. Oh Well! Four stars

This was a great story! I loved reading about Tris and Four meeting and getting to know each other from his perspective :) Very cool!

3.75It was somewhat rushed to make everything fit into the limited number of pages, but I guess I was hoping for a little more than just that.

This was my favorite of the Four stories.

This one was hard to read. Honestly. I don’t even know what to say about it. I accepted (view spoiler)[ Tris’ death (hide spoiler)], but I wasn’t ready to have it flaunted in my face with this recap of Divergent from Four’s perspective. It literally hurt to read. «Her hands move over my back and I want her, in a way I haven’t felt before, not just some kind of mindless physical drive but a real, specific desire. Not for “someone,” just for her.» It was also very moving reading about Four’s struggles to either betray his faction and warn the Abnegation of the attack or betray his former faction and leave his father to die.

Radnja ove kratke priče odvija se negdje u sredini Različite, 1. romana Divergent serijala. Neki od događaja iz tog romana ovdje su prepričani iz Fourovog kuta gledanja, s kojim smo dobili mogućnost vidjeti ih u drugačijem svjetlu, a neki događaji su nadodani i popunjavaju praznine u radnji Različite, pokazujući nam Fourova kretanja kad on nije bio u fokusu radnje tog romana. U ovoj priči Four nam pokazuje zašto je takoreći postao izdajnik svoje frakcije, kad je odlučio frakciju Nijekanja upozoriti na napad koji će na njih uslijediti. Zanimljivo je vidjeti već poznate događaje kroz Fourove oči, kao i način na koji on doživljava Tris. Odlična priča.

What can I say? FOURTRIS ALL THE WAY!

This novella begins two years later and where we read Four POV during Tris initiation.I loved seeing their interactions and how his feelings grow for her. The slight touches and what he considers a first date. Also we see how he is dealing with the information he learned about discourse in certain factions. I loved each of the “Four” novellas from Tobias/Four POV. Being able to see where he came from and how he navigates life as Dauntless and the introduction to Tris was amazing. Highly recommend these fast paced, intriguing reads.
