Blodeuedd's Monday Review: Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth




My thoughts:
I did not realise from the blurb that these two live on the same planet. I got that Akos came from a cold world, and then grass divided it from the Shoten people. Did not really get how their side looked but oh well.

It was better than a certain other series, but hey there is always second book syndrome to fear or third book ruins it all syndrome. I am such a downer today.

Akos and his brother gets kidnapped, and no one seems to do much about that ...strange. He was a calm one, but then his gift was like that. Since people in this universe has "magic".

Cyra is hated by everyone since her gift is to hurt people. She was messed up and her brother a bit of a caricature to be honest. He was the kind that would twirl his mustache and laugh.

The ending came a bit too quickly and was wrapped up way too nicely. What the second book will be about now I have no idea.

But it was good, simple, boy meets girl, they should hate each other but does not. And set in space.

The cover is nice, the content though... nor for me.
