Veronica Roth’s “Carve The Mark” was an amazingly well written and creatively thought out story. All of the characters were extraordinarily enticing, and very realistic with all of their decisions and actions. I found myself at many different points through the book, wanting to dive even deeper into each and every person’s personal story. Although the very beginning was a bit confusing, due to the large magnitude of information about this new universe, eventually everything tied together and became much easier to understand. The storyline was easy to follow and had a great balance between the themes of friendship, love, and always followed by a thrilling action scene. I enjoyed this book very much, and would definitely recommend this novel to just about anyone. Once I started reading it, the hardest part was putting it down due to its captivating plot.-Will L
