My Thoughts

I really enjoy when we get another POV on characters that we’ve come to know and love and be attached to.  I think especially with Tobias/Four, we wanted to get some of the thoughts that went through his head when we had his Choosing Ceremony.  I like the consistency here about his feelings towards Marcus and i love that we got to see some of the intros that were made from his POV with Tori, Zeke and some of the others.

The other bit of insight that i like is that Four had a bit of an insecure side that we didn’t really see much of in the series so far so i wonder if it’ll come through in the finale or if it’s now something in the past upon choosing Dauntless

It’s a nice teaser here that the factionless man references Four’s mom and quite a bit of foreshadowing here, which is nice given what we read in book 2.  Now i can’t wait to see the novellas of the other 3 which will be a nice tie-me-over until Allegiant comes out
