The Fates Divide by Veronica Roth


This well-written tale continues the story of Cyra Noavek, Akos Kereseth and other characters first introduced in the novel, Carve the Mark. Cyra and Akos' love is as ill-fated as Romeo and Juliet as they struggle against warring planets, intrigue, murderous plots and a desire to somehow avoid the destinies predicted at their births by the oracles. Add in the current gifts each character possesses, which can be helpful or harmful, a great, unexpected plot twist and an all-out battle against the tyrannical Lazmet Noavek, with the fate of entire planets in the balance, and readers will find that author Veronica Roth has supplied all the elements for an excellent adventure story. -Louisa A.
