Common theme: science fiction
Author: Veronica Roth
Series: Carve the Mark
Title: New York, NY: Katherine Tegen Books, [2017]
Carve the Mark tells the story of two teenagers who were born with gifts that leave them at the mercy of others. Cyra is used by her brother to cause pain to others, and Akos is an oracle who is kidnapped and sent to Cyra’s nation. Despite being from warring nations and planets, they create an unlikely bond as two teens just trying to survive chaos and carnage.
Like the Lunar
Chronicles, Carve the Mark is young adult science fiction with extensive
world-building, and a political backdrop (warring nations) that determines the
plot and relationship of the characters involved. Both series also feature characters that have
been taken from their original homes and families.
Carve the Mark,
however, has more of a fantasy and magic element, and is more focused on how
the characters act and behave due to their need for survival.
