![]() ![]() and this is how i write, which is not the most poetic or original style in the world, but it is with a powerful sense of sympathy and immediacy. so it works as a refresher: "this is why you liked this character, remember? this is where he is coming from and what he has experienced. ![]() and it reminded me why i liked Divergent so much. but roth fleshed out the bones of known backstory with that meat of fiction: character. everything here, plotwise, has been covered in the previous books. and going by my two-years-ago memory of reading Divergent (and reading other people's reviews of The Transfer: A Divergent Story, thank you all) there isn't any new, revelatory material here. it was fine, and i love that it exists for the more age-appropriate fans to swoon over, but it didn't really work for me as a reader.īut this one did. which is nice, but since i am too old to be crushing on a (teenage) character from a book, i didn't get all whoopty-blah about it. with Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story, she just retold a scene from Divergent from tobias' perspective. I wasn't crazy about Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story, but this one is fantastic. ![]() ![]() Not only is she releasing, in measured intervals, four novellas (four about FOUR!! get it?) that lead right up to the release date for the Divergent movie in march, but she is being smart about how she writes them. ![]()
