I loved having an alternate view into the Divergent universe. Such fun characters who made me want to be in the story just as much as the first time I was introduced to Roth's version of a dystopia.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures. The way I see it, if it makes me happy and I'm not hurting anybody, there's no cause for guilt.
That said, I feel like I shouldn't have enjoyed this collection of stories as much as I did. But I did! So very much! I have a soft spot for fast, fun reads, and this is one. Normally, the story we get is the story we get. If we want something more, we have to turn to fanfic. And then, it's not like we know that's what the author originally imagined.
But this! In this collection we get to revisit the slice of life to which we were introduced in Divergent and go behind the scenes with Four. And that's just so freaking cool!
Favourite thing: references without any elucidation to stuff that happened in Divergent. If you've read the book, you'll go, Oh, yeah, I remember that! If you haven't, there's no effort made to include you or catch you up on things. I love that. It feels like the continuation of a conversation between an author and her readers.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Divergent series sometimes I've just want to kill the characters and sometimes I love them. So with this book I felt the same. I wish I had read this book before finishing [bc:Allegiant|18710190|Allegiant (Divergent, #3)|Veronica Roth|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406726458s/18710190.jpg|15524549] because now it's really sad to read about Tris again... The book wasn't very interesting or new because it only explains a few things that are deducted from the entire series, but I enjoyed it but unfortunately not as much as [bc:Divergent|13335037|Divergent (Divergent, #1)|Veronica Roth|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328559506s/13335037.jpg|13155899].
Four is my favourite character in the entire Divergent series.
Loved these snippets totally from his POV.
