Carve the Mark: First Look by Veronica RothMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not — their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world?
Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power — something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. 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.
Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuve, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive — no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyra’s world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive — or to destroy one another.
What I think:
This chapter definitely got my attention. I love the fantasy world this story takes place in and all the new things we'll get to explore in this story.
The main character so far is vague, you get to know something about her brother and the way she sees him and knows him. This chapter doesn't give a lot about her character or what's so special about her, but I'm excited to find out soon.
I can't wait for this book to come out on January 17, 2017.
