I love the idea of this book. I need more sci fi books like this in my life but i do have some issues. At some times it did seem like a Star Wars ripoff with lots of other random magic elements like the fates and currentgifts. The characters are ok at best except Cyra, she is amazing. It did sometimes read like fanfiction but it was a fun book to turn my mind off to.

Ik vond de wereld, de sferen en de personages echt leuk. Er kon wel echt wat verbetering komen op het gebied van show don't tell en de manier van zijlijnen en achtergrondverhalen verwerken in het boek, en de bijpersonages mochten wat meer 'screentime' maar over het algemeen vond ik het echt een leuk boek!
3.5 sterren, afgerond naar 4 :).

I can tell through reading this book that Veronica Roth has either improved her writing (not to say it wasn't good before, in fact I thought it was beautiful and often poetic) or differentiated it slightly to fit a different context. I was very impressed with the world that Roth created in his novel. I thought the concept of an entirely new solar system was a cool concept, and it was executed really well. Also, I really appreciated the depth, vulnerability, and strength of her characters. This was one of those few books where I felt the author really put effort into developing her/his more minor characters too.
I think this book series is a duology? I will definitely be reading the sequel!
Roth: this was your second chance after what you did to me in Allegient, so tread carefully with this last novel.

This was a really engaging read. The universe building is pretty nice. But it can be a tad bit confusing and I found myself getting two characters mixed up because of the similarities in their names. But otherwise, I really loved it!
Takdir memang tidak adil bagi sebagian orang, termasuk bagi Akos dan Cyra. Saat semua orang mendapatkan kekuatan karena berkah-Arus yang menguntungkan, berkah-Arus Akos dan Cyra malah membuat mereka dikendalikan orang lain. Di dunia tempat Arus adalah segalanya, takdir kedua muda-mudi itu berkelindan demi memenuhi kepentingan jahat orang lain.
Seri ini sangat berbeda dgn Divergent dengan alur cepat & penuh aksi serta keseruan. Carve The Mark terasa sangat lambat. Namun hal aku sukai dari Miss Roth adalah jalinan kisah Akos & Cyra. Aku lumayan lelah dgn cinta segitiga & insta love yang mewarnai kebanyakan genre YA Fantasy.
Kisah yang terbangun antara Akos & Cyra terasa alami & cukup membuatku percaya kalau kita berinteraksi setiap hari dgn orang tsb, baik terpaksa maupun tidak, aka nada perasaan yg timbul dari hubungan tersebut. Ketika akhirnya keduanya menyadari kalau mereka saling tertarik tidak terasa terburu-buru. Belum tai apakah aku menyukai seri ini atau tidak namun aku akan meluangkan waktu untuk membaca buku selanjutnya.

Ich war zunächst sehr skeptisch was dieses Buch betrifft, da ich auch von der Bestimmung nicht komplett überzeugt war, besonders von der Entwicklung der Geschichte. Allerdings klang der Inhalt des Rates der Neun gut und außerdem handelt es sich um einen Zweiteiler was schon Mal ein Bonus gegenüber den zahllosen, nie enden wollenden Reihen, die es sonst noch so gibt, ist. Und ich muss sagen, mir hat dieser erste Teil wirklich gut gefallen! Die Charaktere sind stark und interessant, die Story ist fesselnd, zum Teil überraschend und trotz relativ vieler Seiten, meiner Meinung nach, auch ebenso rasant. Ich bin sehr gespannt wie es mit Cyra und Akos weitergeht und wie sich die prophezeiten Schicksale der wichtigen Charaktere erfüllen werden :)
