Summary: More Four! Fans of the Divergent series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth will be thrilled by "The Transfer," the first of four new short stories told from Four’s perspective. Each brief story explores the world of the Divergent series through the eyes of the mysterious but charismatic Tobias Eaton, revealing previously unknown facets of his personality, backstory, and relationships.

Summary from goodreads.

Why the WOW: When I first read about these e-novellas on Veronica Roth's blog, I think there might have been a fist pump, followed by goofy smiling. I am beyond excited to read about Four! Last year's Free Four was a little nugget of Four, and I can't wait for more of his voice, history, and thoughts.

There will be four e-novellas after its all said and done. The Transfer, The Initiate, The Son, and The Traitor. Each are listed as 30 pages each, but what I'm assuming is a paperback onmibus of all four (Four: A Divergent Story Collection, Feb. 11, 2014) is listed as having 208 pages? I don't know if my math skills are working properly. (30 x 4 = 208 ???) More bonus material? Yes, please!

In other Divergent news…Have you guys seen the stills from the movie? And the first footage will be shown at Comic Con. Can't wait for this movie!

What are you waiting for?

This made my weekend! I might of fangirled a little when I saw Veronica Roth's blog entry, just the title. Took a deep breath, said a little prayer, and clicked the post. What a relief, I'm very happy about the casting of Theo James. I was getting a littler nervous leading up to this reveal, considering who else was in the running. Although I will always picture Drew Roy, of Falling Sky's fame, as my book Four. Theo James actually resembles Drew Roy, so I'm happy.

Now we're just waiting for Divergent #3 title and cover...Anyday now would be nice! Until then I still like to look at the teaser cover in awe. Just seeing a date is awesome!
Divergent #3
