kiki_readz 's review for:
Carve the Mark
by Veronica Roth
I enjoyed this book, thought it was interesting although written at a slow pace. which didn't make it a bad story! the book definitely had its own voice and pacing which I enjoyed. I always try and read reviews to see what others thought about the book and I was shocked by what I saw... racism? really? but... how? I read numbered lists of all the reasons why it was racist and nope. I disagree. for one, the main character speaks the shotet language (meaning I think he's from there) so... how can this theory hold water. also most people calling out for blood have the skin tones incorrect. honestly, I could go on but I'm excited to start a new book... y'all are reaching. it's terrible today how these things just get decided and others follow suit or risk not being culturally aware enough... it's a sci-fi story about 2 cultures that each have different ways of remembering history. obviously there are people of all skin tones in both areas. most frustrating reviews I've ever read.
