Mini E-Book Reveiw: Free Four by Veronica Roth

Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story (Divergent, #1.5)Free Four: Tobias Tells the Story by Veronica Roth
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release Date: 2012
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I know you have probably read my rants about how annoying it is when authors/publishers release extra e-books that are part of a series. I mean, I’m glad to have more content for the series I love. But on the other hand, it seems like a ploy to get another dollar or two out of loyal readers. Also, it’s so hard to keep track of the e-book only add-ons to various series. The only way I find out about them is through tracking all the series I read on Fict Fact – which is a great site by the way, you should check it out.

I loved Divergent so much that I gave myself permission to purchase the e-booklet Free Four for 99 cents. It’s a 13 page rewrite of the knife throwing scene from Divergent told from Four’s point of view. I ended up being glad that I shoved my inner cynic aside and bought it. Four is kind of a mysterious guy and I liked getting into his head a bit.

By the way, Veronica Roth is coming out with a four-story compilation that is a prequel to Divergent. It appears that it’s about Four’s back-story before and during his initiation into Dauntless. It’s supposed to be released in July. You can find more information on Veronica’s blog.

    I too could go on a rant about the extra 3-book parts of series. I don’t deny they might add to the series, but I would like to feel I get the full story from the trilogy, or whatever.
