Bumped my rating down to one star because 4 months later I can’t even remember anything. Telling me I found nothing interesting in this book.

I love this author. This book was a bit confusing in the beginning. But I'm glad I stayed with it. Veronica never disappoints!

I will release my full review of "Carve the Mark" closer to its January 17, 2017 release day, but for now I can say this:

As far as storytelling, world building, and characterization goes, Veronica Roth has really matured as a writer. Everything fitted together and flowed much more nicely than her writing in her "Divergent" series.
I really REALLY enjoyed this book! It was a fantastic read full of space and planets, a variety of intriguing cultures and peoples, and a story that just sucked me in!
There were a few YA cliches that were very irritating, and a couple weak points, but nothing too bad.
Already can't wait for book 2!!!

BLEGH I could not get myself to care even a little.
The romance aspect was crumbly at best and had me rolling my eyes at the cheesy declarations of love with zero build up/connection. The plot and worldbuilding were good and I would've rather just had that without the romance to be frank.
