Guess what?!? She has done it again. Ms Veronica Roth wrote another short story from Tobias's life before Tris. THE TRANSFER.
THE TRANSFER takes to Tobias's own Simulation Test and Choosing Day Ceremony and the reasons why Tobias made the decision to leave Abnegation for Dauntless. We found out what his own initiation was like. And how he got the famous legendary nickname - FOUR!!
Not only we get another glimpse into Tobias's mind and life, but we get to meet some already known faces - Zeke, Amar, Tori, Max, Eric… We see his first ever walk through the fear landscape. And how much Marcus actually hurt and abused Tobias not only physically, but mentally too. You just want to punch Marcus or hang his by his balls!!!
I have really enjoy this mini-story from Tobias's life. It slowly helps us to discover the factors which influenced him to become the fearless dauntless person he is. And you fall in love with him even more.
This short story is easy to read and follow. It's entertaining. Smart. Fresh. Eye-opening and funny at times. Veronica Roth keeps continue to write in her famous style which keeps us interested for hours.
I am happy to announce that we can look forward to THE INITIATE, THE SON and THE TRAITOR - stories which are due to release next year! And I cannot wait to read more from Tobias's life.
Keep them coming Ms Roth.
