No current Talk conversations about this book. first in a series (  ) pollycallahan | Jul 1, 2023 |  Couldn't finish this one; too many good books and not enough time for those that can't hold my interest. Perhaps I've been reading too much of this genre (teenage sci fi with an organic touch?). (  ) MrsBond | Jun 27, 2023 | DID NOT FINISH AT CHAPTER 4. Just not my sort of book, sounded like it had a promising concept, but futuristic ships travelling through time blah blah blah. You lost me. It was like reading through quicksand for the first 4 chapters for me anyway. It is now back in the library waiting for its next victim. ;) Unfortunately I put this down to pick up Obsidian instead. -sigh- Enchanten | Mar 12, 2023 | Full Review on my blog! Wow!!! Veronica Roth is back with a bang. And better than ever. “Honor has no place in survival.” Carve The Mark is an deeply riveting sci-fi thriller with non-stop action, heart-breaking betrayal, and an intense survival story that will keep readers flipping pages right up until the captivating ending. Carve The Mark is one of the most highly anticipated books of 2017…..and it without a doubt lives up to the hype! I devoured Carve The Mark and cannot wait for readers everywhere to read this fantastic book! “You’re a Noavek,” he said stubbornly, folding his arms. “Brutality is in your blood.” The pace was perfect, the world-building, which was CRUCIAL in this book, was flawlessly done. The visuals, as in Divergent, are very vivid in this book too. The point where I found out the reason for the name of this book; I think my parents thought I was going crazy the way I was jumping and squealing. “He would die for his loved ones…. She has to kill for hers…..” Veronica Roth also has a wonderful way of developing side characters without boring the reader. I love the complexity of the characters in this book. Each character has there issues/flaws and neither is all good or all bad. I want to keep this spoiler free, so that’s all I’ll say about this. Let’s just say, there is a lot of character growth throughout the whole book. This is the type of book that swoops in and steals your attention from the first page. “Akos touched her face. When he first met her, he thought she was this fearsome thing, this monster he needed to escape. But she had unfurled bit by bit, showing him her wicked humor by waking him with a knife to his throat, talking about herself with unflinching honesty, for better or worse, and loving- so deeply- every little bit of this galaxy, even the parts she was supposed to hate…..” Overall, I think this is a book you should DEFINITELY read if you are into YA. There’s romance, friendship, family bonding, and a whole new galaxy waiting for you. I’m excited about this novel and where it’s going and I can’t wait to jump on the next Sojourn ship she puts out for this series. I highly recommend it! *Quotes were taken from the book* Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Facebook | Store (  ) AnaCarter | Feb 14, 2023 | Ho letteralmente divorato questo libro ! Fin dall'inizio è impossibile non provare empatia per i protagonisti che nonostante il destino avverso coraggiosamente lottano per salvare le persone che amano. Sia i buoni che i cattivi sono ben caratterizzati , non ci sono punti morti, descrizioni prolisse ed è suspence fino alla fine. Ho letto alcune recensioni in cui ci si lamentava della poca originalità della Roth ma non la penso così infatti "la corrente " , la "ripesca" sono dei concetti originali così come i fiori del silenzio e in generale tutto il world building creato dall'autrice. Non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito. (  ) Antonella2023 | Jan 26, 2023 | no reviews | add a review
