Carve the Mark: Free Chapter First Look

Set in a different universe, Carve the Mark tells the tale of Akos Kereseth, a fate favoured Thuvhesit farmer's son and Cyra Noavek, sister of the tyrant Ryzek Noavek of Shotet. Two opposite worlds on two faces of the same plant come crashing together when Ryzek kidnaps Akos and his brother.I expected more from this book, and perhaps my assumptions were unfair. Carve the Mark took a lot of getting used to; the world is so different from ours, and at first all the references to items of their world are only confusing. The new information seemed to stop for a bit, then start again, a slower trickle which is how it should be. Facts were cleverly repeated many times to ensure readers would remember it.Cyra's currentgift causes her pain and allows her to inflict in on others. Her brother uses her as a weapon and torture tool. I like how currentgifts can change, evolve as the person does and they have a direct connection to their owners' personality. Akos's gift's reasoning is yet to be revealed, but I'm curious nonetheless. The second half of the book fared a lot better than the first because it contained much more action, plan devising and conflicting matters.The introduction is conducted poorly, but Carve the Mark is very enjoyable once you've figured out what's happening and what these terms mean. And if in doubt there is a glossary provided at the back of the book. These characters and their 'sealed fates' only make the story more interesting. I was able to predict part of one major event, due to clues hidden in the first chapters. Science fiction, advanced technology, different beliefs and environments... Carve the mark."She was a hushflower, all power and possibility."

Very good book, however it did take a bit to get into. I'm glad I stuck it out because I now that I've finished it I can't wait to read the next one.

This sounds to be interesting. We'll see once the book comes out!

Maybe it's because we are starting somewhere other than the beginning, but I didn't get it.

It left me wanting to read more, which is a good sign of what's to come! Pre-ordered the book before reading this section. Wish I knew how to pronounce the names though.

Very captivating! Went and got the book the next day just to finish it.

Very interesting plot.

As always carve the mark is also beautiful writing by Veronica Roth..All star war fans and divergent series fans will also like it..
