PART 2 For fans of 'The Lunar Chronicles' (Marissa Meyer):

Carve the Mark

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.
