Readers first encountered Tobias Eaton as "Four" in Divergent. His voice is an integral part of Allegiant. Readers will find more of this charismatic character's backstory told from his own perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection. When read together, these long narrative pieces illuminate the defining moments in Tobias Eaton's life. The first three pieces in this volume - "The Transfer," "The Initiate," and "The Son" - follow Tobias's transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, his Dauntless initiation, and the first clues that a foul plan is brewing in the leadership of two factions. The fourth story, "The Traitor," runs parallel with the events of Divergent, giving readers a glimpse into the decisions of loyalty - and love - that Tobias makes in the weeks after he meets Tris Prior. Exclusive scenes included!

To be honest I don't remember the intricacies of Divergent, but you don't really need to here. This has some Four backstory (which I enjoyed as much as I did the trilogy), but basically if you want the YA Feels from the Divergent trilogy from Four's POV, this book is for you.
I really liked this book! Very fast paced and enjoyable.
I can't give individual ratings to each novella because I feel like they need one another to really make sense and because of that I can't rate them like separated novellas.
All the way through Divergent and Insurgent I felt like Four was just a character that was just there for a purpose and that was it. Never found him interesting or likable in any way, because he never showed real feelings and the little he showed was just for showing his attraction to Tris, and they are not one of my favorite couples.
BUT, in this book I really get to know him so well! Being inside his head change my thoughts about a lot of things that happened in the first two books. I liked this book so much that I think I like him now (not love, just LIKE). Having a perspective of the Dauntless-before-Tris and Four having friends was refreshing.
The thing I didn't like a about this book was the whole childhood trauma about his dad. It got very repetitive sometimes. And I found the meetings with her mother boring.
But anyway, 4 solid stars for this fun read!
