The Fates Divide

By: Veronica Roth

Narrated by: Austin Butler, Emily Rankin, Erin Spencer, MacLeod Andrews

Number one New York Times best seller!

In the second book of the Carve the Mark duology, globally best-selling 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.

Not as good as Carve the Mark

I have to say that I enjoyed the book but it was no where near as good as Carve the Mark. The story was slower and it didn’t have all the drama and danger of the first story.

Great Book

Veronica Roth did not disappoint. This series was great just at that it is only the two books. O would like more.

Roth has an amazing imagination

Her characters jump off the page and shine with their virtues and flaws. The challenge is to listen closely and not miss anything

Needed to know

Glad to have the tale complete though a little too “happy ending.” Good YA/Adult crossover appropriate for all—vey little objectionable to younger readers.

an awesome sequel.

love the story line kept me interested thru the whole book. wonderful ending looking forward to the next book.

Enjoyed!

Very enjoyable story, you get into the characters and tragic lives that they have to overcome.

I didn't see that coming

I read enough that surprises are few and far between. Yet! here I am happy that the story threw surprises my way. 😍

Best Narrating I've heard

I've yet to read anything by Veronica Roth that I didn't like. This book (and series) was the same. She has a way of creating new worlds, full of foreign names and places that could be difficult to follow, but she pulls you in like you've always been familiar with them. This series has the best narration I've EVER heard! The voices perfectly matched the characters, were easy to listen to, and truly enhanced the story. The voice of Eijah was chilling, eerie, and suited them well.

Thrilling

This was a strong, thrilling, emotion-filled sequel! I worried about how many plots were taking place, but they all tied together at the end beautifully. I found myself getting lost in the story the entire way through the book. I highly recommend reading this shortly after reading Carve the Mark.

better than the first book

I struggled to read the first and hatred it because of the cliffhanger ending. this one was much easier and faster thanks to audible. besides that though, it was a better book in general, and I already knew the characters so there want so much to take in.
