The Transfer is (chronologically) the first novella in the Divergent series. It is written in Tobias "Four's" point of view and documents his life with his father while growing up in Abnegation and how he came to the faction the reader first meets him in while reading Divergent, #1. There are heartbreaking moments as the reader get a glimpse at young, innocent Tobias as a child who suffers his father's moods and violence. After reading Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story, I wasn't eager to read additional novellas in this series because I felt it just didn't add much. However, The Transfer was excellent! The reader meets Tobias' instructor during his initiation: Amar, and also witness's Tobias receive his name: Four. I would highly recommend this short story to fans of the Divergent series!Note: This is the first in a collection of novella's written in Four's perspective.
