Praise for Carve the Mark:

“Roth skillfully weaves the careful world-building and intricate web of characters that distinguished Divergent.” —VOYA (starred review)

“Roth offers a richly imagined, often brutal world of political intrigue and adventure, with a slow-burning romance at its core.” —ALA Booklist

Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth have grown up in enemy countries locked in a long-standing fight for dominance over their shared planet. When Akos and his brother are kidnapped by the ruling Noavek family, Akos is forced to serve Cyra, the sister of a dictator who governs with violence and fear. Cyra is known for her deadly power of transferring extraordinary pain unto others with simple touch, and her tyrant brother uses her as a weapon against those who challenge him. But as Akos fights for his own survival, he recognizes that Cyra is also fighting for hers, and that her true gift—resilience—might be what saves them both.

When Akos and Cyra are caught in the middle of a raging rebellion, everything they’ve been led to believe about their world and themselves must be called into question. But fighting for what’s right might mean betraying their countries, their families, and each other.

When the time comes, will they choose loyalty or love?

This production includes a bonus excerpt from The Fates Divide, Veronica Roth's powerful follow-up novel performed by Austin Butler, Emily Rankin, Erin Spencer, and MacLeod Andrews!

Love!!!

I literally loved this book so much. I ended up reading the book on my own without the audible book cause I felt like I was into it myself better. I lived this book so much though I highly recommend!!

Wanted to like it but

I just couldn't get into the book. It has a lot of potential. But it needed some smaller climatic scenes to propel me forward.

Love this book

Honestly nothing extremely spectacular, but I love this book. You are placed into a sci fi setting and you are give a lot of new information about the world the main characters live in at a very decent pace. I never felt lost during this book and I never felt like information was being dumbed on me either. Just a beautiful story filled with beautiful world building and character development. And I absolutely love the narrators of this books. Very well done.

Couldn't Stop Readin!

I had to use both the kindle and audible versions to keep the story going once I got past the first few chapters because I was HOOKED. Couldn't put it down. Another great read by Veronica Roth.

Good but hard to follow

Good story but hard to follow w all the odd names.
The performance was very good.
