Aubry and Margot of Epic Reads decided that they wanted to go through Dauntless initiations and learn the art of knife throwing. The result makes for a pretty good video.
Check it out:
Divergent author Veronica Roth made the following comment after seeing the video:
Love this.
(Also, as an aside: I found out from the stunt coordinators and the actors on the Divergent set that even expert knife-throwers can’t actually achieve the kind of accuracy that Four develops in a few short years, making knife-throwing a relatively useless skill for the Dauntless to try to develop [and making Four some kind of knife-throwing mutant]. It’s interesting what you learn after writing a book— and what it teaches you about how you should approach research, as an author! ANYWAY, Margot and Aubry are totally Dauntless, no matter what they say.)
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE DAUNTLESS?
