riseandspine 's review for:
Carve the Mark
by Veronica Roth
2.5 stars. “I know what it is to become something you hate. I know how it hurts. But life is full of hurt...And your capacity for bearing it is much greater than you believe.”
Let me start by saying that I enjoyed the story. I think there were a lot of great ideas in there. The hardest part was just getting through it. I made it about two thirds of the way through and just got into a slump, because it was moving so slowly. Time was also hard to keep track of in the story, which made it more difficult to keep up with.
There are many reviews out there talking about problems in the story with regard to racism, ableism, etc. While I understand people's perspective on this, I did not find these topics to be written into the story in any intentional way by the author. The only "problem" I had with this book was the struggle to get through it.
