About this ebook
#1 New York Times Bestseller!
In the second book of the Carve the Mark duology, globally bestselling Divergent author Veronica Roth reveals how Cyra and Akos fulfill their fates. The Fates Divide is a richly imagined tale of hope and resilience told in four stunning perspectives.
The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births. The fates, once determined, are inescapable.
Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek—a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead—reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever.
As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may—or may not—be her father. For Akos, it could mean giving his own. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Space was not a finite container, but that didn't mean it was empty. Asteroids, stars, planets, the current stream; space debris, ships, fragmented moons, undiscovered worlds; this was a place of endless possibility and unfathomable freedom. It was not nothing, it was everything.
I had some mixed feelings about the first book, but I entirely loved this one! It was so good!
The inclusion of Eijeh and Cisi's perspectives really added a lot to the story and the world. We got to see so much more through them than just through Akos and Cyra, and it was greatly appreciated. I got my more planets wish and got some awesome visuals along the way (Ogra is my dream aesthetic)
The themes were great in this, and the pacing was also great. Everything was great.
I was hesitant about the Lazmet death retcon, but it was done really well and added a lot to the story. The plot twists were all super effective and the hard-hitting moments were pretty intense.
Let me just say that I hate Isae Benesit and will never like her. The end.
(note to Veronica Roth: PLEASE do not make this a trilogy! Two is fine! An unresolved political drama is perfectly okay to leave hanging. Don't pull an Allegiant on us again!) - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A solid continuation of Carve the Mark. Veronica Roth certainly knows how to craft a compelling tale and this story, which picks up where the previous volume left off, has plenty of twists earlier on that keep one engaged. The ending was satisfying (better than the ending of the Divergent series) and I would be happy to visit this world again but hopefully not as a continuation of this story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The sequel was not as good as the first. But I was still interested in the characters and how the story would unfold. I aslo wish that this wasn't the last we hear of these characters but it truely seems like the end of the story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a good read! I really want a third book
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5WTF is going on in this book, between the similar names or characters that have almost identical current gifts. Can I just say that I thought the term "current gifts" meant current as time. Like they would get new one at some other age. No, it wasn't until the end of this book "current" is as in electricity. That I'd jus far behind I am in this story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked Carve the Mark, although I'd not given it much thought since reading it. I zipped through the sequel. It is a bit more straightforward and a bit less dark than the first book, because the characters are dealing with all that’s already gone wrong, rather than constantly navigating new disasters. In some ways, fewer new disasters is a good thing -- otherwise it would have been difficult for the story to conclude satisfyingly. I liked the twists and revelations, and the way the characters’ foretold fates played out. I liked the way it resolved some things and made other things more complicated.However… I was expecting it to pack more of an emotional impact. In hindsight, I wanted it to focus even more on the characters’ relationships with their families. I’d have liked to see more exploration of what it means to be the child of an oracle, and more of characters either processing their feelings about, or attempting to reconcile with, family. There are different ways that could have been done and different ways it could have played out, and still fitted with the plot as it otherwise stands.… it’s suddenly dawned on me that I wanted this to have the FEELINGS of a Melina Marchetta book. Alas, it does not.“Oh, honestly,” Teka groaned. “Is it some kind of rule of the universe that at least one Noavek asshole has to be alive at any given time, or what?”Cyra swivelled to face her. “What am I, then? Not alive?”“Not an asshole,” Teka replied. “Bicker with me much more and I'll change my mind.”
