Protected by his unusual currentgift, Akos is generous in spirit, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.Īkos is the son of a farmer and an oracle from the frozen nation-planet of Thuvhe. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power - something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world?Ĭyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people.
While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not – their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favoured by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape their future. “ In a galaxy powered by the current, everyone has a gift. Hello wonderful bookworms and welcome back to a review that should’ve been written long ago!Ĭarve the Mark seems to be Veronica Roth’s first attempt to write a science-fiction novel, and it could’ve been great, because it truly had a lot of potential. Plus, Carve the Mark, by Veronica Roth had been in my TBR for way too long and I had to find out what this fuss was all about. But, when your godchild tells you to read a specific book, and you know that you’re the reason why she started reading novels in the first place, well, you need to honour that!Īnd so I did.
I like watching movies such as Star Wars or Star Trek, but to read that kind of books… Meh… I think I’ll pass. Today, Roth is still an author, hopefully writing more books for her avid fanbase to enjoy.You know, folks, I’m not the grandest fan of science-fiction. On April 7, 2020, Roth's first adult fiction book, Chosen Ones, was released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The End and Other Beginnings was published by Katherine Tegen Books. Octocame with the publishing of The End and Other Beginnings, a collection of six novella-length stories set in the future. Carve The Mark's sequel, The Fates Divide, followed after more than a year later, on April 10, 2018. On January 17, 2017, her book Carve The Mark was published by HarperCollins. Veronica also married Nelson Fitch, a photographer, in 2011. Roth graduated from Northwestern University in 2010 and published her first book, Divergent, in April 2011.
Roth later found her way to Christianity, and she has stuck with it ever since. Her mother pushed aside religion for this reason. Her maternal grandparents were concentration camp survivors.
