I actually quite liked Carve the Mark. It was a nice little pallette cleanser book for me when I wanted to keep reading fantasy but was sick of the over saturation of fae/dragons/witches etc. The Fates Divide had so much potential, but was ultimately a huge let down.
The primary characters lost their spark and became so one dimensional that you lost any emotional connection while the supporting characters were so superficial and offered nothing to any type of arch at all.
And maybe it's just because I had so little care for the turn of the book, but it felt so damn long. Half the "plot" was unnecessary filler and I couldn't wait to just be done.
