"This gritty, paranoid world is built with careful details and intriguing scope. A memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away." Publishers Weekly Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers ISBN: 9780008468972 Number of pages: 352 Weight: 310 g Dimensions: 198 x 129 x 27 mm Edition: 10th Anniversary edition MEDIA REVIEWS 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. The first three pieces in this volume 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. When read together, theses four stories illuminate the defining moments in Tobias Eaton's life. More of this charismatic character's back story is told from his own perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection.
Readers first encountered Tobias Eaton as 'Four' in Divergent, and his voice is an integral part of Allegiant. This special 10th anniversary edition features beautiful reimagined cover art from award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai. As the novel ends, Tris helps Tobias overcome some of his fears and anxieties, and in return, Tobias declares his love for Tris.Including stories told from Tobias Eaton's point of view, Four is a companion volume to the internationally bestselling Divergent series that inspired a series of major motion pictures starring Shailene Woodley. In spite of his bravery, Tobias suffers from deep psychological trauma: his father, Marcus, beat him with a belt when he was a child. Like Tris, Tobias is secretly Divergent, and also has an unusually small number of fears, meaning that he’s an especially bold and courageous soldier. Tobias imparts this lesson to Tris, with whom he has a romance that's still going on by the end of the book. Unlike his rival, Eric, Tobias believes that being strong and brave-in other words, being Dauntless-means being selfless, sacrificing one’s own safety to protect that of other people.
This points to something that sets Tobias apart from most of his Dauntless peers: he’s genuinely concerned with helping other people. Although Tobias used to be a highly promising warrior and strategist for the Dauntless, he chose to devote his life to training new Dauntless recruits instead of settling into a powerful government position, as most people of his abilities would do. Tobias is one of the most mysterious characters in the book.
