Welcome to Litsy!

I read it because I read the first one. The names of people, places, and planets made this one confusing mostly because I couldn't pronounce them. For me that's what makes the book flow, not if I'm stuck trying to figure out how to pronounce the name. #NSR221, Science Fictiion I'll say Speculative Fiction under Military. @Nessavamusic

These are some sequels that are on my #tbr
I read book #1 so long ago and really enjoyed but still didn't read these.

I'm really sad this one is over! I really wanted it to keep going! I just love the 2 main characters. I love that they face things alone rather than always having to rely on each other. Sometimes you need to face your own demons by yourself. I LOVED this! I wish their was a third!

I loved it. Didn't go how I had guessed but everything wrapped up well. Highly recommend.

"Fair" ?

See? Look how easy it is to not be an asshole about other people.

I snorted

Only half way through the book but it has left me mind blown already!! I can‘t wait to finish it!

Great book, great sequel, great plot, great plot twists. Just... not the most memorable book I‘ve ever read? Idk I read it a few months ago and forgot to review it, and barely remember what actually happened. But I‘m still going to read the new short stories being published in Roth‘s new anthology so it was still good!!

This was an excellent sequel to another great story. This author is outstanding. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. 💖📚

I'm as sharp as broken glass, but just as fragile

Great continuation of Carve the Mark. Lots of action and plot twists. Interesting cultures. I enjoyed it a bunch.

I need escapism and fantasy after the last lot of heavy contemporary reads. So this one will be it. #currentlyreading #veronicaroth Have completely forgotten what happened in book one. As is the way. #yafantasy #booktwo

They were both people who carried every scrap of everything around, but maybe they could help each other set things down, piece by piece.

Loved this book! A lot of drama, mystical mayhem, love and war. It‘s got a lot going for it. Definitely kept me enthralled for the better part of the week it took me to listen to it. Definitely would recommend 🤩

I love when books are just as beautiful under the dust jacket as they are with it on. Not only did the color of the book match the jacket but there was the map (every good fantasy/sci-fi has a map) pressed into the cover.

Enjoyed this series. The world building was interesting, though I would have loved to see more of the other planets. Really enjoyed the Ogra aspects. Visible energy, super human powers, oracles, and change ups I didn‘t see coming all were captivating. It seemed like Roth was experimenting with writing style which was a little distracting but overall kept my interest.

Ok at least one of the 3 kittens (still haven't decided names) is becoming a snuggler. A cat asleep in my lap as I read.. I could get used to this 😍😍

It is supposed to storm all weekend and I currently have no library books checked out so it seems like the perfect time to kick back with my coffee & finally start to make a dent in the stack of TBR books next to my bed.

Did an audio reread of Carve the Mark because I had forgotten a lot so am finally finishing the duology and had a nice surprise when I took off the dust jacket. That‘s a nice detail.

Finally reading the sequel to Carve the Mark - I actually enjoyed the first book (contrary to popular opinion) but not sure about the second book. All the switching from characters and first to third person is a little much. Oh well, ferry rides are great reading time! #worldwaterweek

I didn't think this second book was as original or as exciting as the first one. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't thrilling and it was a little too predictable. It seemed like most of the interesting information was already given.

I just really don‘t like Roth‘s writing style. I like this story but I dislike the way it‘s written enough to not recommend the book, and to be honest, I spent the whole time reading this wishing I wasn‘t.

Violated. That's how I feel. I could understand the shift from first person to third for Akos and Cyra in book one. But this? No. Do not hook me in a story and then slam first person present fucking tense in my face. That's lazy. If you, as a writer, can't manage to write distinct points of view, write in 3rd person and be done with it. 😡

200 pages before I really started caring about this story but now I‘m invested!

I liked book two more then book one. Still not a series I love, but the characters were more layered and interesting in this one. There was a twist which I had guessed back in book one, and not as many ramifications as I felt there should be.

This was a good ending to the story, but I didn‘t like it as much as the first because there was so. much. angst. Still glad I read it & like the 2 book series overall! #thefatesdivide #booktwo #duology

Finally I get to read this!

Do you agree? 🤔

Currently reading at the Kaneohe Sandbar, Oahu Hawaii. Enjoying the beautiful day on our boat.

Went to Sam's Club to buy groceries and such. Could not pass the book aisle. Picked up this signed copy.

This was an awesome sequal to Carve the Mark. It had a lot of politics in it, but it had an ending that I am pleased with. I bought this awesome coloring book a couple of weeks ago.

Solid sequel to #carvethemark and conclusion to this duology, #thefatesdivide provides come great, complex character arcs (though I do wish the voices were more distinct).

I am sad that this series has come to an end. I‘ve grown attached to Cyra and Akos. The ending was bittersweet and gave me major feels. I enjoyed reading the story from four different perspectives. One of which is a third person narrative ( the other three are first person) which was my favorite one to read. #veronicaroth #thefatesdivide

I am giving this one a pick. I enjoyed it more than the first one. I like how the story played out. However, I find Veronica Roth‘s writing often overly dramatic. Characters often are exposed to extreme pain but become stronger through the pain. I don‘t know about anyone else but I become completely useless when I am in pain! However, I love new works and escapism. This allowed me to do that! Plus ending was much better than Divergent!

Now I understand the meaning of the title of this book. This twist was something that I didn‘t even fathom while reading Carve the mark. Now that I have reached this point in the story, I am thinking of all the clues that Roth laid out. #thefatesdivide #veronicaroth

Page 164 out of 443. I think that I will be finished with it before the weekend is over. I wish that it was trilogy instead of a two book series 😔. #thefatesdivide #veronicaroth

“I see all of the galaxy, and it is all mine.” ✨

I‘m gonna be real with you - this series blew the Divergent series out of the water for me. I loved everything about it! And the characters just messed with my dang heart. It always got right to the action. I highly recommend this one! And I am looking forward to more Veronica Roth books.🌌

Finished tagged audiobook on my morning audio walk (review coming soon). I was so lucky to have such a beautiful day. I got to see a swan, turtles bathing in the sunlight, a wood duck and her ducklings, and lots of wild flowers. I am back to work next week with my summer researchers starting. So, I am getting in as many morning walks as I can! #audiowalk #summerbreak

Enjoying the nice weather on this lovely evening on my patio with this book and this handsome star that I have not seen in a few days due to cloud cover. This book is so good too! ☄️❤

Love my morning audio walks! I wish Got to do this year round. One day I will be retired! #audiowalk #summerbreak #deer

Im still reading the book, but I wanted to show off a few of the books on my TBR list. #tbrlist #books

After a week‘s worth of rain, today is gorgeous in SE PA. I had a great audio walk this morning! #audiowalk #itsthesun

I read Carve The Mark when it first came out and enjoyed it more than I expected to. I‘ve forgotten a lot about the book in the past year and a bit, so hopefully it comes back to as I start the sequel!

This was exactly the right book to read for me. I needed something to be able to put down when I had school work to do, and was easy to pick up when I had a few minutes. I enjoyed the characters that were not always likable but necessary for the story. I recommend this for anyone who likes YA and is okay with a good story but occasional cliches.

I thought the first one was good but this was better. Veronica Roth does it again. This book was incredible and I loved everything about it. Seriously I really loved this book and if you like fantasy or Roth or anything YA I‘d recommend this book.

Now it‘s time to start reading this! 😊😊 #veronicaroth #thefatesdivide
