WeCan Be Mended is a short story written by Veronica Roth that takes place five years after the events of Allegiant. It was first available for those who've pre-ordered or purchased Roth's forthcoming novel, Carve The Mark. Since then, it has been released as bonus content in the 10th Anniversary Edition of Four: A Divergent Collection.
This epilogue focuses on Tobias's life after the unexpected death of Tris and how this world is doing after the disbanding of the factions. We find out what the characters have been up to in the past 5 years when they have a reunion.
The trilogy is set in the future in a dystopian society that is divided into five factions. The trilogy's society defines its members by their social and personality affiliations, with the five different factions removing the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety. Beatrice Prior, who later changes her name to Tris, is born into Abnegation but transfers into Dauntless; she must figure out her life as a Divergent, conceal her true nature, and live with the danger of being killed if her true nature is discovered by the Erudite and Dauntless leaders.[4]
The first main installment in the series tells the story of Beatrice Prior, a teenager who lives in a post-apocalyptic Chicago in which society has been divided into five factions, each with a specialized social function: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Beatrice, a member of Abnegation, transfers to Dauntless at the age of 16, takes the new name Tris in the process, and forms a romantic relationship with Abnegation-born Tobias Eaton. As she eases into her new home, Tris slowly uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to upset the balance of the faction system.
Tris, Tobias, and their allies begin rallying the favor of other factions and the Factionless, those who do not fit with the faction system, against the tyranny of the Erudite leader Jeanine Matthews, in order to save the Divergent. They struggle through hard times under the tyranny of Jeanine and the wants of Evelyn. Eventually, after winning, Evelyn takes over and the story continues in Allegiant.
The third and final main installment in the series takes place after the ending of Insurgent. Tris, Tobias, and their allies escape from a Chicago that is now dominated by the Factionless towards the fringes. They learn the real nature of Chicago's faction system and must then find a way to prevent a civil war from wreaking havoc on their hometown.
The anthology consists of five short stories previously released separately as e-books, in addition to three new ones. The book focuses on Tobias Eaton and is both a prequel and a retelling of certain events of the first book, Divergent.
The short story serves as an epilogue to the series. Taking place three years after the events of Allegiant, it focuses on Tobias and Christina as they slowly form a romantic relationship as a way to fill the void left behind by their dead lovers: Tris and Will.
The trilogy received positive reviews from critics. Critics praised Divergent for its plot and action,[5][6] and Insurgent was praised for its writing and pace.[7]Another critic said, "No one can argue that Divergent is not a fun, edge-of-your-seat read. It is easy to get submerged in, effortless to remain engaged in, and impossible not to enjoy even the slightest bit."[8] Allegiant was praised for being "gripping" and for the love story, but was criticized for its ending and prose.
Summit Entertainment had bought the rights to film an adaptation of the novel and recruited Neil Burger to direct, with Shailene Woodley starring as Beatrice "Tris" Prior and Theo James as Tobias "Four" Eaton. Lionsgate and its subsidiary Summit Entertainment distributed the film.[9] Kate Winslet was signed as Jeanine Matthews. Also recruited into the cast were Maggie Q as Tori, Zoe Kravitz as Christina, Ansel Elgort as Caleb, Miles Teller as Peter, Ashley Judd as Natalie Prior, Tony Goldwyn as Andrew Prior, and Jai Courtney as Eric.[10] Divergent was released on March 21, 2014. Insurgent began filming in Atlanta on May 27, 2014[11] and was released on March 20, 2015.[12] The adaptation of Allegiant was split into two parts; the first part, Allegiant, was released on March 18, 2016, while the second part, titled Ascendant, was originally planned to be released in June 2017. The big screen release of Ascendant was shelved due to the poor box office results of Allegiant.[13] On July 20, 2016, it was announced that Ascendant would be released as a TV movie, but later scrapped.[14]

I seriously cry every night because of this...I read Divergent about a year and a half ago and I finished Allegiant for the first time about a year ago and I can't stop crying!! I understand it was all planned but it just breaks my heart!! And I have heard some people say that three or four years after the epilogue, Christina and Tobias get together and that just enrages me!! It's supposed to be FourTris forever! People think I'm crazy for crying about it and I really want to be Peter about it..
In my moment of weakness when I was sobbing for Tobias in Allegiant, I wanted him to die too. But that's selfish? I think thats the right word. And so convenient. And I hate convenient stories. I like realistic and meaningful ones. So, in that aspect, I think its important to learn how to mend yourself from a loss. To surround yourself with friends/family. To move on. That's the message from Tobias's point of view at the end of Allegiant. That's what I interpreted anyway. Ha.
I literally just finished reading allegiant. I have two opinions of the book: i love the books. I was not someone who was a fan since the first book. The first time i saw the trailer of divergent, i decided that i have to read it because this storyline is very different and it captivated me immediately. So i read divergent, then insurgent, and finally completed allegiant. My second opinionis that i hated-no hate-allegiant. It was unfair, unfair, tragic, unfair, and did i mention unfair?! I hate it as much as i love it. It had such a plot twist! I personally am very big on endings. To me, and ending is very important and depending on the way a book ends, i can either hate it or love it. In this case: both. I think throughout the whole last three chapters i was crying. When the plot first took a turn, i wouldnt believe it, with everyone being so hopeful. I was full on breaking down. I have never cried this much since the outsiders. I felt completely broken-i was feeling like tobias honestly. Now i am able to breathe, but i can still start crying if i think too much about tris and the future i imagined for her. I have to say i have never read a book this fast. I stayed up many nights reading the books, and i dont regret a single minute.
Very nice review! I agree with your thoughts on the ending. Yes, I was bummed and somewhat shocked, but as a fellow author, I also appreciated Veronica Roth for having the guts to write it. Dystopias are not all rainbows and butterflies, yet they can still uplift and inspire us in their own way. You can check out my review here if you want. Happy reading!
Those who wish to read the full epilogue will have to pre-order Carve the Mark online. They can submit a copy or photo of their pre-order receipt at the Carve the Mark website. The last day to submit receipts is January 17th.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
My ancestor, and this is the inheritance she passed to me: freedom from the factions, and the knowledge that my Divergent identity is more important than I could have known. My existence is a signal that we need to leave this city and offer our help to whoever is outside it.

My biggest annoyance: the way that the alternating voices of Tris and Tobias sounded EXACTLY THE SAME. I am not joking; I lost count of how many times I had to flip back to the chapter heading to remember which point of view I was supposed to be reading.
