It took many chapters until I actually got into it, but once I did... Wow. A never coming back journey. I am completely in love with the characters growth and how real they all are. I always say that books need to make you fell something, anything, or they aren't doing their job. Well, this book was way better than I anticipated. If I hadn't won it on bingo night, I would have probably missed this jewel that had me completely sucked into the skin, feelings and thoughts of Cyra and I hadn't been so invested into a book for a really long time. It was like coming up for fresh air after feeling so numb for so long. Can't wait to have my hand on the sequel.
***I voluntarily reviewed a Copy of this book for my honest review & I thank the publishers Harper Collins NZ***Quick sumaryWorld building - 3.5 out of 5Character building - 4 out of 5Writing style - 4 out of 5Keeping me reading - 3.5 out of 5Ok I think people love to hate Veronica Roth, well I never got over her killing Tris, and I have yet to read the last book in the [b:Divergent|13335037|Divergent (Divergent, #1)|Veronica Roth|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328559506s/13335037.jpg|13155899] series because of that - it's still sat there on my bookshelf! Maybe one day when I want my heart to break I will re-read the whole series (Or Not- I made my own ending where they run off into the sunset and make lots of little fourandthreequarters)Anyway... I have seen a lot of negativity regarding Carve The Mark... So I did some research, while I was midway through, and I guess some people take their own opinions from reading an interview text, but I can't see it and I quoted this below for you to read... I can't see anywhere where Veronica Roth said that Chronic Pain is a GIFT... the interviewer SIMON said it... she said nothing of the sort, she said that pain was underestimated, that it limited the person's potential and how the person suffering found it difficult to find people to take it (the pain) seriously. as you will see below and if you would like to read the full transcript, click
