Review: GIMME MORE, VERONICA ROTH!

My only complaint was that I wanted more! Four is one of my favorite characters in Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy; there is something about him that is so captivating-his ability to be vulnerable despite his all his strengths and accomplishments. The knife throwing scene, along with the Ferris wheel scene and the zip lining scene, is one of my favorites. Although Tris is a very observative and smart narrator, when it comes to communication and reading other people, she's not so good at that. So it was great to see what was going through Four's head and comparing it to what was going on through Tris' mind. It's funny how one scene can be viewed so differently by two people. We get to read about Tris' anger and panic, that we don't realize that Four also feels the exact same way. I never knew how unhappy Four was with Dauntless, not only because he doesn't like the path that they are heading but also because he fears that his biggest secret, being a divergent, will soon be figured out. Seems like when she was crushing on him, he was also crushing on her which is just plain adorable in all the right ways. I like how Four sees Tris' strength before she can see them herself, and this short story proves just how good for her he truly is
